Diary - Monday 16 February 2009

16 February 2009

Monday, Monday, looks good to Bury. As the Mariners Moan-O-Meter swings back towards the frownzone, the clean shaven and clean speaking Deviant Diary returns with tempting news and teasing views.

Just as Town are in Re-Newell, so is Cod Almighty. After what feels like a million years, the Meek Moment is back in post production for dubbing and re-shoots in Cinemascope and Technicolour; and we're looking for further close encounters of a Town kind, inspired by Mr Anthony Wood's memories of an ex-Town player on the Hong Kong Underground, but then forgetting who it was. If you can guess who it wasn't, e-mail the usual address. It wasn't Gary Beacock, we know that at least.

We need some deglumification after the dispiriting trudge of a performance on Saturday. Have you ever stood behind Kingsley Black at a cash point? Did you see Danny Butterfield buy some fruit gums? You must have a Mariners in Mundane Moments memory.

C'mon, c'mon, take it easy. Are we really going to panic after a defeat to a decent team? Town were weary and feeling small in the experience department, says Mariner Mike. Our oldest defender was aged 13¾, after all. Some more work needed on the Pontoon bridge over our troubles waters then. Or perhaps just get Sinclair and Mr Ak-Ak fit again. We have a week off, chill baby, chill, for Chester are spiralling down their own plughole. The scrawny fourth division vultures are circling already - Notts County tried to pluck Ryan Lowe away on loan. And now the end is near... they've nearly reached their final curtain.

Oh look, the Lincoln game is back to a normal kick-off time - 3pm on 7 March. That was simple. Why did The Man mess' with our mojo in the first place. Perhaps they quaked at the thought of a fruit based backlash? They still lost their jobs, but at least these workers made their mark. Kumquats and Pineapples make bigger dents in management egos.

Hurry, hurry, hurry there are only 4259 tickets left! The Darlington tickets are now available exclusively from the club shop. Buy now and save two of your English Poonds while stocks last! The Safecracker Stadium really is ridiculous, isn't it. It's a chucklesome gift that keeps on giving chuckles. Thank goodness the Fentydoom quietly slid underneath the waves one dark winter night. Is that what caused two nuclear submarines to collide?

And on that nuclear bombshell we drift into dry dock to be piped ashore with a selection of novelty songs and a riddle to solve. But if the answer is "Dick-A-Dum-Dum". was it ever worth asking the question?

Oh, Russell Slade's just been sacked. Whatever.
