Was in BTG's on Sunday for a few beers when someone tripped and spilt chips beside me. My first thought was how those chips would be tread into the carpet given the number of people milling around. I glanced over to see a club official carefully pick up said chips in a napkin and deposit in the bin.

Yep, you know who that was - although he did have a look of slight panic at the thought of the deep cleaning bill - but I can't imagine many SPL club chairman mopping up after their supporters the way that Rodders did.

Petrie got it sorted - and I was there :wink:

I wonder what other odd jobs he does around the stadium to save a few quid?

The look of slight panic was concern that someone would stand on them before he could pick them up still intact and get them "repackaged" with the rest of the discarded crisps and sold this week. :greengrin

One of our pipes froze and burst while I was back home for xmas. I wasn't in the flat when it got fixed but i was told it was plumbers...Rodders must be such a modest guy.

Why didn't the manky ******* not pick them up himself ?

Rod has got better things to do, like sort out world peace n' that.

Tee hee - your post is even funnier than the OP's (which was intended as humour!) Suggest you pop on to E Bay and see if you can purchase a sense of humour !!! :wink:

Anyway, back to the thread......my kids school was closed yesterday but has re-opened today thanks to the efforts of one man - the legendery Rod Petrie, a true colossus of a man. :agree:

Am I the only one who finds the attempts at humour on Hibs.Net a bit tattie? It's not the first time I've seen Rod hoovering about in Behind The Goals. He does his best to preserve our tidy flair reputation.

Far too much praise for him. Months have passed and he does nothing about Hibernian TV. Every single week supposedly John Hughes The Dugout. Not once have we seen the dug. :grr:

..............or if he then gave them to Maka/Stacky/Flynny/Smithy could he have chipped the keeper ? :cool2:

And all this time I thought it was a Freddie Mercury tribute act that did the hoovering. Must say Rods got a nice pair of pins...............:dizzy:

Back to the Op theme....
On match days (as usual) Rod toured BTG. Doubt if many other SPL chairmen/execs would do the same week in/out.:agree:

Just hope he gets the shambles of the bar staff sorted ....how the **** can they run out of beer exactly 31 secs after opening? :grr: I noticed that the staff had pre-filled 8 x 4pint jugs of lager ready for sale but NO BEER.

The bar nearest our seats has three lager pumps and one beer pump but EVERY SINGLE Game the beer runs out and the delay while a barrell gets changed is ridiculous.

Rant over and well done Rod for taking time to listen to the fans.

Thank you Rodders.

People moan about the snow and that, but little do they know that Al-Qaeda had arranged a horrific Christmas plot, spreading deadly poison up and down the country by pumping it out of specially-hired Luton vans.

The only way to counter it would be to freeze the toxin by ensuring sub-zero temperatures, thus nullifying its lethal effects.

Course folk just laugh when you tell them Rod can control the weather :rolleyes:

wish rod did the tannoy at ER

better than that muppet shouting ''moan hibs... get yir scarfs in the air!!!'' and ''this is the chorus... get yer scarf above yer heid''

rod could just come out and talk about the economy and offer money saving tips and 100 ways to make your savings triple

Good idea....but looks like Rodders is offering advice already...

'The tache our Chairman wore '

Let's get it ready for the next visit of the Hun. :greengrin

Sure it's old and it's not beautiful
and last trimmed in '84
It can sniff out dropped chips* from five yards
It's the tache our chairman wore


alternatively *bigots * smelly huns

I went to bed last night with a bit of a chesty cough coming on, and sure enough, it was a bit of a rough night. However, at some point during the night, I felt a cool breeze on my forehead, a silhouette emerged in slow motion from a pure white light which filled the room, there was a sweet smell of flowers and incense and off in the distance, a heavenly choir of celestial voices hummed and sang. The light was too bright to see properly and even as I tried to rise from the bed, gentle chairmanly hands lowered me back and from beneath the well-known tache came the intonation of magical spells softly uttered.

In the morning, I felt much better. I think I know who to thank for my restored health.
