16 December 2011

The important Grimsby Town board meeting came. And a couple of pleasant hours later it went. The board didn't bother to elect a chairman and made themselves promise to be nice to the Mariners Trust person. He came in, they were duly nice, and everyone shook hands festively. It is not known whether the overspent budget could stretch to Iceland bite-sized beef wellingtons, or whether attendees had to resort to surreptitious pocket-raiding between agenda items to get a treat-sized meaty fix. The turkeys voted to postpone thinking about Christmas just yet.

Meanwhile Shouty faced to camera and was interrogated by 'nice' Dale and 'nasty' John Tondeur. JT went first and was assaulted by a machine-gun rattle of names. The doubtful include Spencer (knicky-nacky knee), I'Anson (sorely-worely throat), Pearson (just plain poorly for 48 hours). The definitely out include Duffy (suspended). And the dubious is Jamie Green, who has trained but may react badly again. They should do a Ledley King and cut the training out altogether, your Guest Diarist reckons. At least then he'd get a start.
