Postbag: The director's cut
28 April 2005
I thought no bugger would write, but what happens - about three or four letters straight away. Still, it went dead after that. Anyway, it only takes one letter to awaken my postbag, missus.All your end-of-season moans can be sent to postbag@codalmighty.com and thus shall appear on these very pages. Go get 'em tiger!
Long live Macca
How about a red "King John" t-shirt with King John McDermott's face cleverly cut, pasted and photo-statted on to that of a man on a rampant horse?
Or fish John McDermott riding a fish with a crown and a goblet of mead. And a football. With the fish doing kick-ups.
Or i'll just let you lot decide

Poems are good
Those weekly poems by Alistair Wilkinson, they're really quite good, aren't they? I didn't used to look at them but now I do. And I'm glad.
from Glen Eagles
Being regular
It's good to have the letters page back. And you never know, the more frequently you have a letters page, the more people may write in. People like to see their names on the internet, it's like a little bit of fame. And I for one am more willing to bother writing to you if I know my letter might appear.
Oh, and you tight wads, give your Letters Ed a 100% pay-rise.
from Joe Schmo
Letters Ed responds: They gave me a payrise of 150%. Unfortunately, 150% of £0 is still £0.
DVD deal
Hoping to send the first pointless e-mail for publication subsequent to the postbag of 2Second April 2005. Do I not win that?
Town are not generally the the most business 'savvy' club in the league, but taking a leaf out of the record industry's book they release the two videos that everyone owns already, but this time on DVD. The advertising is a little lacking in detail, but I have it on good authority that the 'extras' include: commentary from 'bloke behind you in row G', stiffs gallery sorry, stills gallery and a soundtrack re- mixed throught he BP tannoy system for authenticity.
from Ian Jackson
Letters Ed responds: Ooh, you were about three letters too late. Better luck next time
Town v Arse
With the twentieth anniversary of this match almost upon us I am thinking of putting my Grimsby v Arsenal matchday program and match ticket stub (Main Stand) for the F.A Cup Round 3 match at Blundell Park, Saturday 4th January 1986 on eBay. Arsenal players include Charlie Nicholas, David O' Leary, Martin Keown, Niall Quinn, Viv Anderson, Kenny Sanson etc etc. Grimsby players include Tony Ford, Bob Cummings, Phil Bonnymann Kevin Moore & Jimmy Gilligan.
What do you reckon I should ask for it and indeed do you know of anyone who would be interested?
from Matt
Letters Ed responds: Haven't a clue myself Matt, but someone out there might be able to help you out - or even offer to buy it. Any interest?
You see that Nina Myskow
Of all the trivial, sad things that people put on the web, an 'encounter' of someone walking past you at an airport has to be the most tragic, mindless entry of all. I googled something about an airport and saw some school-boy reference to someone from television and, of course, it had to be made insulting to make it interesting. Hopefully more people will walk past morons like this, at the risk of being labelled rudely by some lonely, sad, teenaged-brained idiot. I feel sorry for someone who posts such clap-trap on a web page. Get a life or a partner and stop abusing the web and, more likely, yourself.
from Grant Mccahon
Letters Ed responds: Let's be honest here Grant. If you google for 'airport' and 'Nina Myskow' then you get a link to Cod Almighty. The question is: why were you searching for those terms? Are you stalking her?
