Watch out for your dongle coming in to contact with the jaggy nettles. :eek:

Are you sure it's Angry Birds? He may be furiously replying to an email.

Exposing your dongle in East Lothian is compulsory I believe.

No, he was swearing at it... something about 'blowing up the bloody pigs'.

Haha.

Can imagine the Haddington Post headlines:

"Hibsbollah linked to East Lothian terrorist plot"

I was stopped by the HTC security boys earlier; but i rebuffed them by saying 'no-one has more right to be here than me' which seemed to do the trick.

No sign of Petrie. Or Tam McCourt.

If you see someone with ginger hair don't press the trigger too quickly, it may just be Rooney & not Mickey Stewart!!

You mean Petrie isn't pacing the car park frantically making calls on his Nokia 3210 (well have you seen the price of those smart phones?) desperatley trying to recruit any Tom, yam or Harry?

Just what is this board up to? Probably busy laundering cash before transferring it to their own bank accounts at the expense of the club. Meanwhile we'll be saddled with a bunch of amateur journeymen on £3.50 a week.

I despair i really do, if we don't make a signing this week i swear i'll do time:timebomb:

In true miserly fashion I'll bet it was the Lite version. No wasting the player budget on games software. :greengrin

May I suggest that tomorrow you dress as a twitcher? You'll be able to collect a copy of the Twitchers Gazette in your local newsagents.

You could either build a hide in the disguise of a granite signpost, opposite the official one at the entrance to the HTC, that would be good, or

Alternatively walk around the HTC Monty Python style with walking stick, binoculars and a camera with a telephoto zooooooooooom lens, intermittently shouting “AH LOOK! An Alder Flycatcher!” without attracting much attention. :aok:

Try and look angry and I will turn up dressed as a pig. It will blow the unnamed officials mind. :agree:

There was a scouse guy called Sean using a strimmer on some of the shrubbery at the entrance. I assumed he was the gardener; someone called 'Massa Hyland' kept shouting at him to work harder "or you'll not be getting your £800 a week ya thieving scouse get". I must admit i couldnt see much; this place is swarming with ornothologists.

Welcome aboard the Happy Ship Hibernian Sean!

….keep it down, lads. Rod overheard something in this direction, said something about "too much hilarity and positivity"…told me to come over and check out the rumpus. He's raging.

I'll keep mum, but wanted to give you this word to the wise.

Tam McCourt is a perv, could clearly see him getting dressed at East Mains without closing the curtains.

I was so shocked I almost fell out of the tree.

Right, im away to my hotel. I was told there was a Petrie-funded bus from here but it was clearly just ill-informed spouting. More penny-pinching from our miserly board.

Sorry hibsbollah that’s just not good enough, you blummin’part timer ye. :rolleyes:

You’ve either got to do the business like a true trooper or call on the substitute, try the Hibs 12th Man! :hibees

Rod ‘ill be glued to this post thread like a limpet. He’s probably on the phone right now saying the coast the clear for an assault vessel style landing at the Pans.

INCOMMING! (sorry just farted)

When the front flips down the prospective new signings will hit the beach and the first three into EM will be signed … by the time you get back in the morning it will be the stragglers Uncle Rod will raise one side of his iron moustache in a sneery sort of way and snarl “You're fired!”

Man up privates, get back to your post. :rules:

The HTC security boys have spent the day strengthening the crash barriers around the entrance, as Garry O's dented Ferrari has been spotted around Ormiston. Fife Hyland is walking about with a smug smile and a 'GIRUY ya bunch of doom and gloomer #%*ts' T-shirt. The rest of the .net spotters have repaired to the Longniddry Inn, where quite a party is breaking out. Watch this space for tomorrows press conference.
