The boys hosted Livingston on 17th Jan, winning 36-10 . I was lost somewhere in an enormous pile of coursework so didn’t see the game, but am reliably informed Chris Tulloch played well and is Chosen One for the week. Otherwise the game wasn’t much to write home about…with my investigative reporter hat on I canvassed some analysts (of the entirely unprofessional variety) and general opinion was they look like they could be good, but need a bit more fire in them.
The 2’s are still doing well, and under the charge of the silver bullet Cahoon are well worth watching. The ladies had a fabulous Sunday beating Royal High in Edinburgh, so, Royal High, Done! Home and Away, go ladies! Some speedy blogger has beaten me to it with the details, none of which I knew anyway so it’s probably for the best.
Saturday night saw a good turn out to the club race night, good to see a varied crowd in parting with their cash, but there were still a lot of faces missing, get your behinds down to the club, bring anyone and everyone, there’s plenty fun to go round. Daddy-rosey put on a good show, entertaining the masses with back-to-front Bingo, and a hilarious game of Higher or Lower. Apparently Bruce Forsyth isn’t big outside of the UK, and “Shake your shammy” doesn’t translate well. Not even, surprisingly, if you say it LOUDLY and slooooooowwwwwwwllly into a microphone…the poor girl did admirably and lost out on the final card.
The bookies table of Gaffer, McMillan and Muzza were toe-tapping all night and did a grand job.
I personally won a grand total of £4 which I promptly lost on a lame camel. Here’s to fundraising, it’s like robbery, but in a fun way. A good stash of cash raised, but still not enough. Next up to add to the pot is: Hughenden’sgotstarsintheirxfactoreyesfameacademypopidoltalentextravaganza! which is open to all. We are the stuff of dreams. We know you’re all fabulous rugby players, and tip-top banter boys and girls, now show off your other talents…a number of high profile acts have already secured their spot on the playlist for the night.
Joe and Cammy were getting some unfortunately public practice in on the Kareoke with a 2009 take on Dr Jones, the Aqua(?) “Classic”. It is amazing how singing can be physically painful, it’s like your dying on the inside, but you just can’t tear yourself away from the horror. So get practicing, enter your act, and let’s party like it’s 1999!
