It’s tiptoe to the bathroom to sit on the loo for a piss that lasts longer than a Castro speech. Sometimes it can be fall asleep on the loo and wake up face down in the shower. On a bad day it becomes stub a toe on the doorframe, swear, wake the dog up and have to let her out into a grim November rain.
Agree. Many years ago away at Wrexham a mate brought a local work friend along with a thick Burnely accent and when I mentioned we had Simon Garner upfront his response was "What? THE Simon Garner!?" Legend.
I still remember thinking Garner wasnt playing one week when he was sat in the vere suite reading the racing post smoking a fag and drinking a pint 30 minutes before kick off... he played and was man of the match ! Wouldnt get that these days !
Lovely to hear from Simon Garner, I miss having characters like him in the game. Thought the interview with Joe Shennan was great, and nice to hear that he still calls Wycombe “us” / “we”.
Finally got round to the latest Ringing In The Blues. (I’ve forgotten who said that but it made me ?).
Wise words indeed from Joe Shennan (who I was interested to learn is now with Times Radio) and reassuring too.
Simon Garner as entertaining as ever. Loved @HolmerBlue’s anecdote above but my favourite was about the time when Alan Smith, shortly after his ill-fated appointment as Martin O’Neill’s successor, was boasting in the dressing room about how he’d got Palace promoted to the Premier League. Quick as a flash, apparently, Simon Garner quipped “yeah, and took ‘em straight back down again.” Lovely stuff.
After yesterday's commentary I think I'll always picture @bluntphil as Simon Pegg wearing his camouflage jacket in the paintballing episode of Spaced. They've certainly got the same vocal intonations and inclination towards droll one-liners.

5 am? Sorry, what’s that?

5 am is what night owls suffer in hell.
Sounds familiar @Manboobs. Perennial night owl me.
I need to know where I can get those pies ?.
Great debut from bluntphil minor
So excited for this one. Still my favourite all time Wycombe player.

Great words from Joe Shennan, some of us will need to keep that close by this season.
Indeed.
Brilliant episode that. Really enjoyed the interview with both Garns and Joe
Excellent episode @bluntphil as always
Simon Garner interview was brilliant.
Bonus episode!
The Parrott joke went sailing over the Millwall guy's head, didn't it?
It was a good 'troy', though.
@bluntphil excellent entertainment as always - loved the parrot gag even if the Millwall guy missed it completely
So great listening to someone completely miss the joke.
Yep, not a flicker was there?
Being a Millwall fan is clearly no laughing matter.
Just listened to the latest RTB. Yes, he missed the gag completely!

I've been on the lookout for a camouflage jacket but I can't find one anywhere
I’m off to the Winchester for a nice cold pint, and I’ll wait for this all to blow over.
