Inoffensive Eh-Up!
Mild Gossip, Scandal, Amusement....

The problem of playing with your Dad....

Boardy Senior (Ian Boardman) and Boardy Junior (William Boardman) recently made their first appearance together in same team for the 3rds against Widnes - it was aslo the first time they had played together in a 'proper' game.. 
William goes on the field at wing but moves to stand off.  Ian goes on at scrum half.  We win a scrum, Ian passes the ball to William, who beats the opposition stand off and races 25m outpacing the defence to sore under the posts. 
Widnes hand Ian the ball for the conversion - he looks around only to find everyone on the ½ way line, so has to take the kick and miraculously converts his son's try! 

The match report looks like this
".... Boardman goes on to the wing and is quickly moved to stand off, Boardman joins the match at scrum half.  Boardman puts the ball in, Boardman passes to Boardman, Boardman scores a try which is converted by Boardman putting a smile on Boardman's face....oh, and Boardman's as well.....  

The last picture on 3rd team web page of Widnes game is in fact William scoring his first senior try.

Yes, It's true - after many weeks of rumour and speculation sweeping the club and the changing rooms I can finally reveal details of Mike Carter's new life after rugby.....

Vets' Steve buys a new raincoat
The Vets' Steve Morters is delighted to announce that he has purchased a new raincoat for the first time in ten years. Steve is seen left modelling the coat before the last game at Kirkby Lonsdale.

A woman meets a man in a bar. They talk; they connect; they end up leaving together. They get back to his place, and as he shows her around his apartment, she notices that one wall of his bedroom is completely filled with soft, sweet, cuddly teddy bears.
There are three shelves in the bedroom with hundreds and hundreds of cute, cuddly teddy bears, carefully placed in rows covering the entire wall! It was obvious that he had taken quite some time to lovingly arrange them and she was immediately touched by the amount of thought he had put into organizing the display. There were small bears all along the bottom shelf, medium-sized bears covering the length of the middle shelf, and huge, enormous bears running all the way along the top shelf. She found it strange for an obviously masculine guy to have such a large a collection of Teddy Bears, but doesn't mention this to him, and actually is quite impressed by his sensitive side.
They share a bottle of wine and continue talking and, after a while, she finds herself thinking, "Oh my God! Maybe, this guy could be the one! Maybe he could be the future father my children?" She turns to him and kisses him lightly on the lips. He responds warmly.
They continue to kiss, the passion builds, and he romantically lifts her in his arms and carries her into his bedroom where they rip off each other's clothes and make hot, steamy love. She is so overwhelmed that she responds with more passion, more creativity, more heat than she has ever known.
After an intense, explosive night of raw passion with this sensitive guy, they are lying there together in the afterglow. The woman rolls over, gently strokes his chest and asks coyly, "Well, how was it?" The guy gently smiles at her, strokes her cheek, looks deeply into her eyes, and says......................"Help yourself to any prize from the middle shelf" .

Stop Thief....

Reports are reaching the club of a dramatic crime-busting effort by three club members in Wigan last saturday.
According to witnesses a thief emerged from a chemists shop in Mesnes Road, near Mesnes Park in the centre of the town, clutching a raft of stolen items and followed by a female shop assistant crying 'stop thief'....
The scum bag's day was about to get very, very bad.....
Enter stage left no less than the Vets 6'6" 19 stone Scott Buckley, who just happened to be close to the chemists and who was on his mobile phone at the time. Dropping the phone, Scott pursued the thief up Wrightington Street. By another amazingly bad coincidence, the considerable figure of Ian Gormley was just setting off in his car when he witnessed the attempted getaway. Swinging round his car and screeching to a halt, he joined the foray as well.
And just to make it a hat trick for the hapless thief, who should emerge from the shadows but no less than the Vets Andy Lewis, who also came to the rescue.
Scot Buckley effected a citizen's arrest as an off-duty officer and laid the thief low on the pavement as the chemists' staff poled up to offer their thanks. Full security and pin down was guaranteed by the presence of Messrs Lewis and Gormley. Then the recalcitrant thief, face down on the floor, decided to take the initiative and made  unfortunate remarks about various aspect's of Goose's anatomy, which resulted in Ian offering to either snap off, bite off or otherwise remove a vital piece of the miscreant's anatomy in return.
The three musketeers waited patiently for the Police to arrive and remove said scumbag to the protection of a police station - the wait was some 15 minutes: "Now you know how we feel when we call the Police," opined said Goose to PC Buckley....
There you are, peacefully going about your business thieving from young women in a Chemists, and outside you come face to face with Buckley, Gormley and Lewis, the toughest cookies in the club.....poor bastard....

Vets prepare for Sevens

This exclusive picture shows Veterans manager Neil O'Donnell and members of the squad training for the inugural Bill Speakman Sevens tournament on pitch 3 later this month. The lads have borrowed equipment from British Waterways for the duration, and O'Donnell claims his squad will 'sweep the board' with this exclusive technology: "The other advantage is that with his face underwater, we can't hear Malc Holland bleating...." says the tired and emotional Hoochie....
The team is Back row, left to right, Andy Murray, Neil O'Donnell, Phil Mather, Alan Doran. Front row Roger Cooper, Malc Holland, Brendan Joynt.

For his birthday, little Joe asked for a 10-speed bicycle. His father
said, 'Son, we'd give you one, but the mortgage on this house is
£280,000 and your mother just lost her job. There's no way we can afford
it.'
The next day the father saw little Joe heading out the front door
with a suitcase. So he asked, 'Son, where are you going?' Little Joe
told him; 'I was walking past your room last night and heard you telling
Mom you were pulling out. Then I heard her tell you to wait because she
was coming too. And I'll be damned if I'm staying here by myself with a
£280,000 mortgage & no bike....

Douglas Valley 'playable' claims Holland...

Reacting with suprise to the decision to call off Saturday's 4th X111 water polo match with Rossendale, Vets spokesman Malc Holland said: "Clearly the Pitch Committee have no idea about the finer points of water polo. Two feet six inches of water (see above) is more than enough to enable Rashers to swim with his belly clear of the bottom, and we are currently well placed in the league to move up to the Ladies League next season which we all desperately want to do."
Rumours that the club have spent £2,500 on a new submersible for Dave Clarke are said to be unfounded.

Dolly Parton and Queen Elizabeth went to the Pearly Gates on the same day.They both met an Angel to find out if they would be admitted to Heaven.The Angel said "Unfortunately, there's only one space in Heaven today so I must decide which of one of you will be admitted."
The Angel asked Dolly if there was some particular reason why she should go to Heaven. Dolly took off her top and said, "Look at these, they're the most perfect breasts God ever created and I'm sure it will please God to be able to see them every day, for eternity."
The Angel thanked Dolly, and asked Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth the same question. The Queen walked over to a lavatory and without saying a word, she pressed the lever.
The Angel immediately said, "OK, your Majesty, you may go into Heaven."
Dolly was outraged and asked, "What was that all about? I showed you two of God's own perfect creations and you turned me down. She simply flushed a commode and she got admitted to Heaven! Would you explain that to me?" "Sorry, Dolly," said the Angel, "but even in Heaven, a royal flush beats a pair - no matter how big they are."
