Right been needing to do this for ages.

TDU & U With Al's Dodgy Knee becoming well and truly dodgy and buggering off to Japan, we have a vacancy, nee an OPORTUNITY(!) to show us all in the Sydney Clique that you are a dab hand with your feet(?) and can walk to the bar after turning up for indoor footy. Yes Toon Down Under are recruiting!! Qualifications for our ethnically pure team are that you're a mag and have a beer after the game,(normally compulsory except for tonights dismal showing) after that....turning up normally proves a good case for selection. So if you are travelling through or have just been lazy so far, you'd be welcome, put up a post or drop the syndey clique a mail.

Dear Sir,

I am applying for the position of knacker/centre forward in your Aussie Rools team. I believe you play weekly on the unleavened field of dreams formerly known as Coooooggggeeeee Beach. I may have trouble travelling to home games but i believe Loony does a nice line in sausages....

anyone got Fat Boy Sting's email address? Haven't heard from the bugger in ages and i want to know if he wants his Shearer shirt sending on to him....

ta muchly.

And what are the rest of yous up to?? [apart from Mackem Nick Raphael who's obviously hiding in the corner of the pub somewhere...] ;-)

Min, check your mail, I've sent you Sting's email address. Not a whole lot to report from the Sydney clique apart from my imminent departure and an unfortunate rash of splitting up with girlfriends that has Lady Tynedale very very worried.....

Though obviously a woman with Lady Tynedale's fine qualities need have no cause for concern, you might have added ADK !!

Funnily enough the various splits don't seem to have affected Dame Loony Toon in the slightest. Should I be the worried one I wonder ... ??

;O))

Dear Mr min, thanks for your application for post of chief knacker, sadly this post has been over subscribed many folled by the current incumbants. However, should any other sado's wish to play indoors or have brothers (hey sisters if they're any good) travelling these parts tell 'em we'll be in Lonely Planet next as a 'must do'. As for the rest of you sydney clique, get yer own thread, this here is for emerging talent only, eh muzza?

Cheers Andy. Have heard from the reprobate Murray. Off to Japan eh marra? Have a cracking time - watch out for beach BBQs and minibuses that don't work...... ;-)

Who's split with who? I fear for all of you. Don't tell me the Mackem side of Nick is in a huff with the Northumbrian half....

TM - emerging talent? emerging from where? the pub i'll bet! sod yer then - i'll start me own knackers eleven - a tribute to the Sydney clique 5-a-side team with stalwarts Tynedale-ish Man and Muzzainsarfeastlahndahn....bloody cliques....
