The coach leaves lunchtime tomorrow and will get tot he Brum hotel by 17:00. I presume they will leave about 17:00 on the Friday for the 20:00 kickoff. So that means they will have 24 hours to kill. What do they do? Now I presume they will get 8-10 hours sleep, and probably 3 hours of meal times. That still leaves 10-11 hours of free time. What do they do? Presume they have 2-3 hours of Playstation or the like. What else happens? Quite a lot of time to use up? Anybody have any idea?

Given to understand Greaves Leif Woolf and Palmer have a book group, this week they’re going to be discussing Evelyn Waugh.
In the spirit of reconciliation and happiness at the end of the Banter Era (RIP) and as a result of promotion I have cleared out my ignore list. Look forwards to reading your posts!
It's gotta be some of the worst bits of the job. I hate travelling for work and I don't have to be on a bus with my colleague and I get a hotel room to myself

Guess there's plenty of things to do now with Internet, PlayStations, etc..... guess in the past there weren't many happy with just reading a book, so there must have been temptations to sneak a beer and a bird in. Do they still have card schools?

Leif Davis was an English junior backgammon champion and Ashley Young is well known for his love of the game. The hungry hippos game has now moved to the Burnley physio rooms.

Chess. The match between Harry Clarke and Woolfie is in it's 4th year now. Luke lead with Asimov's gambit, but Harry on the black pieces, countered with the Traxler, but then a cagey stalemate ensued. The end game will be fascinating to follow, and the squad are all enthralled as to the eventual outcome.

Carpet Bowls used to be a thing although it does sound like an entry in the Profanisaurus

Well, it’s common knowledge that the squad is ferried to Brockdish, in Norfolk, under cover of dusk, where they’re greeted by John Craven in robes made entirely of fig rolls and Garibaldis. After a brief blessing involving water pistols and a lion named Keith (on loan from Banham Zoo), the players are invited to take part in the Biscuit Sorting Ritual—an ancient Norfolk tradition where bourbons are separated from custard creams using only intuition and a small rake.
Once the sorting is complete, Craven reads aloud from the 1987 Brockdish Parish Scroll of Tactical Ambiguity, while the lion paces ominously near the Rich Tea pile. The evening concludes with a group viewing of “John Craven’s Newsround: The Biscuit Years” projected onto the side of a disused grain silo, followed by a light supper of digestives and isotonic gravy.
Then it’s off to bed, unless you’re the designated Biscuit Whisperer, in which case you must stay awake and listen for the sound of fig rolls migrating.
