Not only did they lose, but they lost pitifully and are now relegated.
This probably means nothing to you, but it did ignite some interesting dinner conversation.
(A1 is 9 and A2 is newly 6)
A1: I'm going to buy a Ford when I'm like 25. If I'm a footballer, I will make like £200,000 pounds very game...
the most interesting part of this is that I have a Ford and have no shame sharing my dislike for it at all times.
A2: I'm going to buy an Audi A4, like the one I saw at Tesco and be a football manager.
Me: Good, you can manage Norwich back into the Championship.
A1: If I were a manager A2 might fire me.
When I become a football player, I am coming to England to play for Norwich or Arsenal or Man U and I'll make like 8 million pounds a year so I can buy a Lamborghini and a Ferrari.
you forgot the bit where you'll take really good care of your Mom, mate.
Look Norwich, you have nothing to lose. I think it's time you get creative and start buying some decent players. Give me a ring, we're here between midnight and 6 am...
and speaking of rings,
Dear Hubby,
My wedding ring has lost two diamonds. I blame the Air Force. If you had been here, I wouldn't have been using my hands like man hands.
I'm also holding them responsible for my additional weight gain, premature gray and the sunburn I got from standing out all day watching kids play in football tournaments (and no, the two hours after playing at the beach had NOTHING to do with my nice tomatoey complexion).
The good news is,
I survived my first Sunday as RS Pres.
Again, that probably means nothing to most of you....
Yes, very interesting dinner conversation. I like how matter-of-factly children speak of what they WILL do when they are older. Anything is possible in their eyes, which is what we should all be like isn't it?
ReplyDeleteAbout the wedding ring.....
I want your sons to take care of me in my old age;) And now the diamonds and the sunburn? gah.
ReplyDeleteNone of it made any sense to me, but I love that you all seem to be living a normal life.
ReplyDeleteI thought it interesting that your boy said he'd come back to England. They have this moving around thing down pat. Mine talk of moving back to Florida.
Hope the airforce replaces those diamonds. :D
congrats on surviving Sunday #1 of being RS pres!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on surviving as RS pres. I send lots of sympathy regarding Norwich. Our team Northampton were relegated to league 2, Shall we drown our sorrows in cake?
ReplyDeleteI have no clue who all the teams are you speak of but I do at least know that football is Soccer.
ReplyDeleteNow see, this whole RS Pres. thing is a great reason to be a 'B' list Mormon like me. Once you get on the 'A' list you get stuck doing all sorts of hard callings. I only have to teach RS once a month- cakewalk!
Ps- my word verification word is mickdog- do you think that's what McDonald's would call it if they sold hot dogs?
Oh man....lost diamonds, lost games,lost creamy white skin ....lost sanity (you accepted RS Pres. calling.) That is a lot of loss in a week. No really, congratulations on your new calling and surviving the 1st week.
ReplyDeleteRS Pres?! Oh, wish I was there to enjoy you...Truly inspired:)
ReplyDeleteHugs...<3
Oh my, you're having to use your hands as man hands? I'm thinking naughty things. That causes one to lose diamonds?
ReplyDeleteArg. Your diamonds. I'm sorry.
ReplyDeleteWow! Relief Society president! Good luck.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry about your diamonds. My ring has two of the six prongs that are broken so I haven't worn it in about 8 months. It makes me sad to look at my naked hand, but at least the diamond is still there. One morning I just had a feeling I should take it off, and I did and haven't put it back on for fear of the consequences.
Can you imagine if all of us fatty Air Force wives got together and sued the government for this AND the time they took our mates away what power we would have!!! I bet even Oprah would call us.
ReplyDeleteAs for the soccer..er...football conversations...the coach has already mentioned wanting his own club and I told him if I won the lottery, he would get his 4 million! (and we aren't even kids!)
