In terms of my fixtures, apparently I have both a cup match and a friendly on the 14th... interesting.

U19 Vice-Captain
Well big goings on in the World of Vayro. After eight and a half years together, my guide-dog is hanging up his harness at the ripe old age of ten and a half. He's been on the list for retirement for the last year, but this afternoon I've had a call to tell me to get my arse down to Southampton a week today, as they've found me a new dog, almost exactly like my current one…Which isn't necessarily universally good news!!! I think that my present dog was sent to me as some sort of divine retribution for my deeply inappropriate sense of humour. He is the single most greedy animal in the world, I am convinced, that given the opportunity, he would literally eat himself to death! This morning he helped himself to one of my colleagues' bacon sandwiches, which made me extremely popular as you can imagine. But what irritates the living crap out of me far more than the sandwich itself (After all, everyone around here
is quite used to having their lunch spirited away in any case!) No, it's the way he sits there staring at you when you try to tell him off. It's as if he's saying to you, "Chill man, what's your bloody problem now?" I mean, picture the scene. There's me on my haunches, balling at him red-faced, on the point of a coronary, looking him directly in the eyes and gesticulating furiously at the remains of the soggy bread, and the total little **** has the bare-faced audacity to wag his tail at me!!!!! He couldn't care less, he's not scared of me in the slightest. Mind you, don't suppose I am up there with Anthony Hopkins or The Child Catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, as far as scary people go, I'd say I was more in Orville the Duck's league:-)
But I suppose I knew exactly what sort of life I was in for with him from the very first moment I pitched up at guide-dog training in Exeter. My instructor told me, "We're really glad you came along, because unless we found someone for him who has quite a strong personality, and can give as good as he'll get - Then we were going to have to reject him!" Translating that into English, what he meant was, "We don't like you, because we think you're a ****y b**tard just like him, so we've given you a nearly-reject dog who we haven't been able to palm off on anybody else!"
But I'm serious though guys! Right, before you get matched with a guide-dog, you have to fill out reams and reams of forms about your personality and your life-style, so they can supposedly partner you with the most compatible dog. (A bit like a kind'a canine dating agency I suppose!) But having filled out all these questionnaires, that was what they came up with for me!!! So WTF does that say about my personality and life-style????
Though he does have his uses I suppose. Before Manchester United won the Champions' League final in 99, my flat mate, and I decided we didn't want to miss any of the action, and so we'd ought to train the dog to fetch our beer for us. It was *almost* a stroke of genius!! We took a can out of the crate, and started playing with it. We got him all excited and kept repeating over and over, in a high pitched voice, "Good Boy!, this is beer! Look, it's a can of beer!" Then we replaced the can, and just as the match was kicking off, we put our plan into action. I said, "Find the beer!" and it worked like a dream! He ran straight over to the crate, pulled a can out, and ran straight back to us in front of the telly. Then disaster struck!!! The excitement of the new game had obviously just got too much for him, and in the heat of the moment he sunk his canine teeth through the side of the can. You know those sprinkler things which posh people and golf clubs have to water their lawns? - Well it was exactly like one of those! Two fine sprays of lager erupted forth, and the pressure of them meant that the can kept rotating, ensuring that everything within a twenty foot radius got soaked - The walls, the ceiling, the windows, the telly - literally everything!! Well even though this obviously wasn't part of our plan, I wouldn't mind betting that it
was exactly what he had had in mind right from the outset, as it didn't appear to detract from his enjoyment of the game one iota - Quite the opposite in fact! - Unable to believe his luck, and reckoning that his new toy was far too good to share with the likes of my flatmate and I, he ran off under my bed with it, and refused to come out. So on top of the soaking everything else took, my mattress got p*ss wet through, from the bottom up! That all took some explaining to the porters in our halls of residence, I can tell you! In the end I opted on honesty being the best policy. But given that the
truth was quite as outlandish as that, perhaps a lie would have been more believable after all!
And this is what Stupid People in the general public just can't get their head around. Despite blatant evidence to the contrary, total strangers insist on perpetuating the myth that all guide-dogs are four legged furry angels! They walk up to me in the street and spot-weld themselves to him, cooing and saying things like, "It's amazing what they can do!" and "oow, isn't he good!" Half the time I feel that they'd burst into tears if I actually told
them the truth, namely that "no, he's a greedy little ****, who hogs the bed and walks me into lampposts!" It would be like telling a four year old that there's no Father Christmas, and that spinning around in circles on an office-chair until you're dizzy loses its appeal as you get older, (or so I've been told in any case!)
But I blame the Guide-Dog Association - Well them and Blue Peter! Generations of kids have dutifully horded pop cans and milk bottle tops, because that nice man John Lesley told them that guide-dogs were all angelic cuddly little Andrex puppies. Then the innocence of youth melts away, that nice man John Lesley turns out to be a rapist, (allegedly!) and guide-dogs turn out to be furry psychopathic eating and sh**ging machines. But here's the really clever
bit, if you're a sucker for animals like me, by the time you realise the dreadful truth, you couldn't bear to part with them, because despite all his failings, he's so so cute and loveable! (Aaahhh!)
Anyway, to BT! The Guide-dog training for a fortnight in Southampton has caused me one or two headaches on the Battrick front, as I'm not going to have any internet access from this Sunday until Sunday 28th - During which period I have two of my toughest league matches first up. I guess I'm just going to have to make my best team my default orders, set it to PAN, and hope that two games plus training every week doesn't screw them up too much. Doesn't someone on here live in Southampton? If so, fancy a beer?...Whoever you are:-)
Only had one of my anticipated 3 or 4 pops this morning. With Greening becoming The Gurs first Rem player.

Tar Mate, good game yesterday too! I think you always had the upper hand, but it gave me some confidence that kind'a side would be more than good enough to get me through the first couple of rounds of the cup.

I know he's not cheap by any stretch of the imagination, it's a lot to pay for a 28YO who's never played a match, who has suspect fielding and Stam. But TBH the Stam doesn't worry me overly, as he's only got to bat No.6, and I figured that the fact he's 28YO is more of an advantage than a hindrance. He's at the kind'a age when his Conc, which is already Resp, is going to go pop-tastic as soon as I can free up a fielding net for him. I've found this season that Conc does play a pretty big part in batting ability - At least bigger than I'd previously thought - As Cash, (Resp/Strong), has punched well above his weight for a Resp Bat, in a pretty competitive league.
The two young Resp Bowlers, Wild and Zonke, have updated wages of £994 and £880'odd respectively, so a while to go on them yet. TBH, I think I might go backwards this season, and may even get relegated looking at the new sides in my league. But at least I've set up a squad which is going to be pretty ****hot in a few seasons' time.
And Finally, did anyone else know that experience (And therefore presumably Leadership), contribute to wages? Edworthy, who previously had wages of £1057, has received no training over the last season, but has gone from Med to Resp Experience. His new wage is now £1107. Perhaps everyone knew this and I've just been asleep, but it was a new one on me!

Some alright pops for me, should help me keep afloat in the Div III that i've been promoted to. Im thinking ive actually got a good chance of finishing runner up... so it's a pretty good thing. Anyway, three pops. R.Abdul Kadir popping to Quality, giving me my second quality bat, probably better than Thorp as his stamina is better. Gedye popping in stamina and Thorp in concentration.

Interesting: I'm in Sriram's league for next year. I think I'm pretty much dead meat for four of the sides, I should beat two of the others, but I've got to play a wierd team with one 127,000 BTR Australian batsman, but no-one else rated over 10,000.

I'm assuming Staveley etc. all have negligible w/keeping (less than feeble) and they're at superb superb form.
Staveley BTR range 15500 to 22500. Looks like he's high superb from the wage, something like 75-80% of the way off the top of my head. So looks like other stuff is low generally speaking - the proficient concentration is definitely on the low side.
Neale Patel BTR range 11500 to 18200. High proficient batting, low other stuff generally.
Joe Noon BTR range (given known sublevels) 15300 to 21500. Will probably have to wait 2-3 weeks for a batting pop (less one week if wage was calculated before training). If he's just been trained to respectable with his stamina then his concentration should pop as quickly.
Gene Bewers BTR range 15800 to 23900. Same as Staveley.

Yes, You'll get a nice return on them when you train. If their stamina has just been trained to proficient and then stopped you should see a consistency pop quite quickly. Players with a good con are becoming ever more rare these days with the new training times.
Geyde shouldn't take too long, could be anything from 1 week to a month (the two competent primaries and the proficient concentration make them difficult to read more specifically)

I'd probably cut two of the fitness nets if I could find someone else to give a different net to, leaving the one on Ricketts and rotating it when he pops. Give it to Elsegood when there's a quiet spell (like end of season or when the Cup games are over). I'd cut the keeping net of Isaacs unless you want to give him a batting net as well - otherwise his batting is just too weak to justify the keeping. One of the cut fitness nets should be a bowling net to Wigg. Dunno how much money you have, but I would buy in a young trainee quickly, you've could easily make room for nets to train a pretty strong all-rounder or whatever you want really.

Hey can you get secondary pops without having a player on a fielding net?

Yep. My redheaded stepchild of a bowling trainee just popped in consistency while on only a bowling net.

Hahaha, what a sly move. Manages to stinge a beer at the perfect time - when you're watching the CL final, and worrying about the beer that's all across your living room. Btw, also had no idea experience had any effect on wages, and I'm not so sure it does - Neil Mills, went from abysmal to woeful experience, and had no wage rise (as far as I can see)? He might've, though, I'm not 100% sure what his wage was before.
