Last Year's Blog:
Perhaps the most shocking topic was that Lee revealed Sharon had plans to buy a linen basket for an average price of £60. Another interesting topic was guessing how long Dean had spent at work since Monday. ‘Barry Brazil’ unsurprisingly was spot on with 41 hours (excluding travel to work, work socials and working from home). The 'wisdom' of selecting Walcott for the World Cup was discussed. Elsewhere, Ilan and Jude argued over who was the least frum with Ilan the worthy winner of a place in hell.
SPECIAL ONE OFF FEATURE : - Vic's Tells from this time last year:
Vic was in tell-tastic form this week last year. Here’s his top 10 tells.
1. Lost his voice when saying “check”
2. Put his coat on
3. Puts his bicycle clips on
4. Tuts loudly
5. Tuts quietly
6. Mutters to himself something about pot odds or a random percentage figures
7. Says “I’m glad you didn’t call that”
8. Says “you can’t have the Queen” knowing he’s sitting there with 4 of a kind
9. Starts putting fish paste on his knob (?????)
10. Stands up and looks over his shoulder at the table
And on that note, that's all for this week.
