Postbag: now in HD
14 September 2006
Good day to you all. In this month's threadbare Postbag: Butcher, Futcher, not a mucha else-a. This really is so un-Grimsby like. There's plenty to whinge about, so get whinging.When you've decided what it is you'd like to have a good old cry about, put it in word form and send it to postbag@codalmighty.com. You heard.
There's only one Dan Humphrey
I was in the process of emailing about the Butcher/Futcher comments in the latest postbag, and of course I was going to apologise to Mr Butcher for confusing him with Mr/Ms Diary (who has many disguises/faces). But then I realised that Mr Butcher referred to myself as "Dan Humphreys".
I am Dan Humphrey. My former flatmate is called Dan Humphreys and both of us are most horrendously upset by this mistake. Crikey.
from Dan Humphrey
He won't mention the tag line, oh he does do
Tight white head. No, I'm not referring to the spotty faces of our yoof team, more the serving of beer. See, I like mine frothy, nice little bit of bubbling and a clear look to the pint.
Also, I've just spent the last ten minutes pressing refresh on the front page of Codalmighty to see the little tag line change. I like it changing. I've still not picked a favourite yet. I've got a couple of contendors:
1. What about the orange? 2. Macca won't keep that in... HE DOES DO!
You got a favourite?
from John Pakey
Letters Ed responds: My current favourite is: "Simon Colin Wilson - who and what in the name of fuck are you on about?" And any attempts by the said Mr Wilson to remove this line will be met with it being replaced in triplicate. Any other favourites out there?
Beer served by hags
I like my beer served by barmaids that although obviously no spring chickens, have a certain graceful and mildly arousing air to them. You know the sort? Liz Macdonald on Coronation Street springs to mind. Who cares what the ale tastes like as long as it's being served by tart in a short skirt and low cut blouse? Anyway, the last decent pint I had was in the Hope and Anchor in April 2000. No doubt the Tetley in there has gone downhill and it's probably a Lithuanian theme pub or something by now. At least the good folk of GY don't have to experience the donkey dribble that is J.W. Lees! Be grateful for small mercies! Town to have the league sown up by Christmas, you mark my words. Anyway, I'd better get some work done!
P.S. Couldn't Mr Holt produce a Ball Park T-Shirt? How cool would that be?
P.P.S Can I be Letter of the Week please?
from Ben Gresswell
Letters Ed responds: Oh go on then.
Fenty world
Can you confirm that the John Fenty Challenge Cup has been scheduled for a Friday to avoid a clash with the water aerobics class at a local leisure centre on the Saturday?
