Attention all Bluebaggers... This Is Your Captain Speaking

[Hass]

G'Day everybody.

The Forum 7's is back on track and the Bluebags are still raring to have a crack at the title. For the next short while however I will be taking over the reigns as skipper of the OWLS while Moffo takes leave to adress more important matters (as if there's anything more important than winning the Forum 7's ).

Anyway, cutting to the chase, Newtown has a game coming up. The details being:

Broncos v Bluebags on Wednesday the 14th of May. The deadline will be at 9pm.

The Forum 7's is remaining rather quaintly named as once again it will be a 5 on 5 ecounter. As for team selections - it's more or less a first in best dressed scenario. If you want to be in it just say so either here or at Henson Park. In the meantime we've got to post a team, so I'm listing 5 players and 2 reserves below.

Hass (c)
Roopy (vc)
Willow
Bender
Bomber

Legend
Gorilla

I'll just do a Brian Smith and change the programmed team as late as I need to!

Anyway, let's get to it and nut out some articles.

Cheers.

I made my post.

I assume Hass will make his swoop from the clouds. That still leaves two more forummers required....

 

[Willow]

Well done Bomber. I see you've run onto the pitch.

Hass and one other to go... Bender, are you out and about?

Reserves, Gorilla and Legend on the ready?

 

[Willow]

Calling all bags! Our opponents, Brisbane look like they'll have a full team with some fine posts being entered.
We still need one other entry to win and stay at the the top of the table.

Bender, Legendor Gorilla... the deadline is 9pm TONIGHT.

What is the minimum word length again?

Also, if anyone else is able to step up to the plate, i would prefer it. Any takers?

 

[Willow]

Unless Gorilla or Legend step up, you're it, Bender.
Max words 750.
No set minimum but 500 seems to score better than 300

 

[Willow]

lol.. well done 'Hollywood' bender.

 

[Willow]

We ended up 4 on 4 and by the skinniest of margins, came away with a win!
Well done Bluebags... time to hit the tub!

Hey guys, I'm alive.

I've been unable to connect to the internet since late Tuesday Evening. The storms damaged the cable that connects my house to Bigpond's Broadband service. However it was fixed early this morning and I am online once again.

I tried to get out my old modem and get on the internet that way, but to no avail.

I'm glad to see we won though.

This has prompted me to make a change in my tactics. Never again shall I leave my posting until the last day (or the last minute as I usually do it). From now on I vow to have my post in a full 24 hours before the deadline! Don't believe me - just watch me!

Cheers.

Hass: 'Never again shall I leave my posting until the last day ...'
LOL... ok, an end to a fine tradition but given the circumstances, its probably for the best.
Good to hear you're back online mate.

Well done guys, an undefeated start to the season heading into the bye.....looks like we could be shedding the title of 'sort-of-premiers' for something more fitting soon.
