Nay Paul lad, I've bought thee . . . oh no, that's the 'other one'! Nay Mr Burns, enjoyable though the last GOBDO of the year was, it was not the clean sweep that your posting infers.

It was but two-thirds of a GOBDO as we were 'forced' to imbibe whilst waiting for 'Terry Beard's Bash' boys to complete their rounds. The ensuing golf was, therefore, limited by prevailing light and also lacked all the good golfer GOBs like Dennis Healey, Wallace and Bugs Bunny who were unable to attend.

The golf was, possibly due to the wait, not of the highest standard but it was very, very close with just one point and one shot separating the three of us at the close of play. Mr Burns and Barney shared the 'Non-Pissing Boy' trophy and, as previous holder, Mr Burns should retain it; the 'Confused Miner' trophy and 'The pillow with the pink ribbon' I will reluctantly accept in due course provided that Mrs Burns changes the colour of the ribbon!

Let's hope that we can have a full turnout next Wednesday; where shall we go?
