exit from archiveWith Kevsan Russelli away for this week’s event it was down to Team Abacus to organise the draw. This week's report comprises of information gleamed from this team, ideally placed for messing things up.
Assisting Mr Ward was Rob Gringo Clayton who had a set of building blocks provided by chief organiser Mr Ward. We were told that Rob has been on a night school class and has increased his counting skills ten fold. He can now count up to 45. Mr Ward was quick to point out that ACE Downs had spit his dummy out big time because of the harsh words mentioned in last week's report. A further meeting with his team mates confirmed the story. Not only did he spit the dummy out, it appears several teddies were also thrown out of the pram. We are not at liberty to mention names but we can quote from Steve Conway 'ACE had said that even a team of monkeys could run the draw' - this was before his attempt! We cannot print the comments from other team members but we can say that Bob Eaton who asked that is name was not mentioned said. 'I cannot understand why there was a problem when ACE was in charge, I know he can count to at least 40”. It got considerably worse regarding hurtful comments as the day went on especially when ACE won his section and destroyed ‘the Dominator’ Domonic. Steve ‘anonymous’ Conway was heard to say with several witnesses that it was possible that the phone system would collapse on Monday due to immense overload caused by excessive phone use from ACE. Bob Eaton also commented that his phone would be engaged all Monday evening. It turns out that ‘Frog Pot’ Allen was awakened from his near deathbed with the results soon after the match. Frog Pot has a bout of man-flu and did not fish but he can relay the whole match if anyone is interested.
What has happened to the Dominator? Hero to Zero. All sharp objects had to be removed after Dom was battered both sides. One part of the sandwich was our very own Mr Ward who normally is very subdued and rarely has a bad word for anyone, apart from Paul Bolsover. He was heard to say 'Dominator who? He was a trembling wreck when he realised he was drawn next to me, next time I might have a bet with him, but I might be accused of taking sweeties off children'. Harsh words from Mr Ward, we think he was taking brave pills all day instead of headache pills.
Stu O'Donnell was also on the end of Mr Ward's wrath, having lost his pole with a fish pulling it out of his hands. Mr Ward commented that Stu was a problem child at school and the teachers always said that he had co-ordination problems and his reflexes were not in sync. Ringo, was awarded Man of the Match for catching the prettiest brown goldfish in the Glebe, a stunning two toned fish well over two pounds.
