Re: It's very sad but...

All true Alan but most of the time you just break them in the first week. Ian C.


I have to admit to a little bit of bad luck with some of my first time compatriots... I've brought eleven along over the years, but I only broke four of them, and one of them made it as far as Tarfside before he wimped out with a broken ankle.

That's over 30% though.
I am glad I got a few under my belt before I bumped into you.
I have to say, we broke Dave twice.

It was those sandpaper underpants

Re: It's very sad but...

For the purposes of clarity it should be stressed that the incidence of first-timers getting places in the draw is purely down to the luck of the draw – no favouritism, it's just statistical likelihood.

In fact, if you look at the those who are on the main list and those who are on the standby list and compare both to my usual drinking buddies, the integrity of the draw is perfectly transparent.

Which is my way of apologising to all those friends who didn't get on this year!

Re: It's very sad but...

I think we can see what happens to any buddy of The Dawg who is a bit slow to get his round in. Worth bearing in mind in the Park bar.
