At The End Of The Day

You all gave 110 per cent.

That’s all the gaffer asks.

But there could be only three selected to win a copy each of [telly’s] Second Captains Sports Annual Vol 1.

They were:

munkifisht: “Well Brian, at the end of the day it’s a book of two halves and I deserve it because I’ve listened to pretty much every Second Captains, even the bit’s I’ve no interest in. After that amount of time and investment, frittering away around 500 hours of my life, I’d think of a free annual as at least a runners up prize for participation.”

Darren: “Well Brian, at the end of the day it’s a book of two halves and I deserve it because every Christmas as a child my Granny would get me 2 annuals; The Beano and The Dandy. No matter how many hints I asked my Ma to drop to my Granny that I wanted Shoot!. The aul dear was consistent if nothing else. Every year for 10 years I got a copy of The Beano and The Dandy and no Shoot! was ever found under my tree. I think a free copy of this book would bring me back to my childhood and clear the unnecessary resentment I hold towards my since passed Granny.”

Conor: “Well Brian, at the end of the day it’s a book of two halves and I deserve it because as a sport nut who’s married to a wife who wouldn’t know one end of a rugby ball from another and would have more success explaining the current diplomatic relations between all the countries meddling in the Syrian Shenanigans than the offside rule, it’s usually easier for me to buy my own present, wrap it and stick it under the tree myself. Winning this book would save me a lot of hassle this year and give me an excuse to be all nostalgic on Christmas Day and play football in the hall using two christmas crackers for goalposts and a bunch of rolled up hats as a ball while my wife looks on disapprovingly. Plus, it looks heavy. If I have to buy it myself I’ll have to carry it home from town. No-one wants to put me through that.”

Thanks all

Someone will probably email you with details. That’s what happened when I won a lovely present.

I heard the fella picking the winners wore a long-sleeved, becollared garment with buttons down the front that sat in the 0-0-255 colour space. I think it might have something to do with it.

      I couldn’t even thieve off him correctly. I don’t deserve the book
2. Mikeyfex December 1, 2015 at 12:31 pm
  
  I’d love to take it, if there’s one going.
