Reson's / Excuses for not going to palace

Tue Jan 10, 2012 1:55 pm

My excuse is: Got arrested there a couple of years ago for trying to enter the ground drunk. A black steward refused me entry because he smelt drink on me. I toild him i would be disapointed if he didnt as i just left a pub ;) anyway police came over and arrested me and breathalyized me told me i was twice the drtink drive limit. :o (but i wasnt driving) after being locked up till 10,clock at night before being released with a court date.cost me £130 to get home on train. anyway whent back up to court and the judge gave the copper and CPS a right bollocking because as far as he was aware ther was no alcohole limit to enter the ground and i hadent commited any other offence charges dropped. So i'll swerve that one wouldnt want to bump into the same copper.(once bitten twice shy) Plus money short at moment. Thats my excuse :old:

My holidays in work are fairly restrictive, Both legs have fallen on an afternoon shift, I managed to swap today's afternoon shift for 6am - 6pm so I can watch it in the pub, and I got half day for the home leg....

Did my best

Refuse to pay the price tbh, the day out would easily have cost me £100 and it's on sky.

Bumped the price to 30 quid because its a cup game, on principle won't go. That plus it's an absolute pain in the arse to get to!!

I finish work at 6.30 and living in the Wirral means unless arriva buy a japaneese bullet train with all their new revenue from over priced ticket sales and put it on the tracks tonight AND extend the line to selhurst park exactly, then I ain't going.

Plastic Taffy. Excuse 1007. Chapter 3, page 9.

Have in the last ten minutes secured my visa for Saudi. Had no option but
to stay at home and wait for delivery of it, and my passport back. Now it
looks like the Company are trying to fly us out Saturday... which will f**k
up Donnie away, my going away present from my brother, tickets already
bought.

Ah well. I'll never forget the good old days when we had Colin Pascoe
banging them in for us :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah:
