Whilst strictly speakng not a matter 4 the agenda, can u let us no if there will b any free nibbles?
And will the bar be open?

[Cap'n Grumpy]

You disappoint me, Mike

When I saw you had replied, I was convinced you were going to ask if there would be cheerleaders?

[HwoodMike2umate]

Cap'n - I think u will find that they come under Item 11 on the Agenda - Questions to the Committee.

[Cap'n Grumpy]

Well, why couldn't you wait until then to ask your other questions about nibbles and the bar?

Does it really matter if the bar is open, as you will obviously then be wanting to be still sober to ask about cheerleaders?

Or are you asking to have it shut?

The ursc membership have a rite 2 no!

[Rooster]

We are pleased to confirm that there will be an complimentary and uniquely exclusive 25 minute Ulster try compendium DVD for the first 20 members who arrive and stay the distance.

25 minutes
15 minutes 43 seconds might be more like it.

[Cap'n Grumpy]

He's added 9 minutes and 17 seconds of the sbc celebrating into it

[ColinS]

That's next Thursday?

Sounds like a plan!

[Cap'n Grumpy]

That's next Thursday? Sounds like a plan!

Still having problems with insomia, Colzo?

[ColinS]

I am indeed Cap'n, didn't get to sleep til 2am this morning, up again at 6.
A night out on the blitz would do me good!

[Cap'n Grumpy]

It's not the blitz you need, but I cannot say how the AGM could help cure insomnia, lest some accuse me of putting the kibosh on attendance

Grumps

PS - how do you know it was 2.00am - if you were asleep at the time?

[HwoodMike2umate]

Colzo, whilst not trying 2 detract in any way from the undoubted appeal of the AGM to some, i wud merely say that i was @ the AGM last year and i certainly wud not describe it as "a night out on the blitz" !!!! I do intend to struggle along to it despite any word on availability/non availability of free nibbles but for me it will b a relatively low key start to whot promises 2 b a long weekend of alcohol abuse.

[Dewi Barnes]

Do you not think that holding the AGM in the Headquarters of the minions of the occupying forces of the six county statelet is discouraging certain members of the Ulster Rugby family from attending.

Next thing you'll be proposing a ground share with Glentoran!

(PS We're thinking of holding The FRU Awards Night there can you let me know if the food is any good!)

[Cap'n Grumpy]

Dewi, that is scandalous indictment of our society! We've come through a lot in this province in the last number of decades, and to come out with claptrap like that takes us back to where we were years ago. Have you learn't nothing in the past years?

What hope is there for future generations if old timers like yourself cannot move on .......
........ and use a question mark at the end of a "question" instead of a full-stop?

Ammunition to the "comprehensive" brigade

I think you'll find it was a statement rather than a question?
