I note that their cheerleader auditions are being organised by this lot: Dolls Agency UK | Models, Dancer and PR Staff

The good news is that they can teach me how to be an Artiste

Nothing else on his mind than the stadium.











Oh, and getting in petty fights on twitter.

And making graphics to illustrate what he thinks of the unemployed and those with mental health and addiction problem etc.

At what point in Billericay Town's history were they in a boat? specifically, an out of proportion galleon?

Also why do they have a boat on their crest? Hamlet are 3x closer to a navigable body of water than 'ricay. Unless of course they're keen on sailing on the Hanningfield reservoir?

I work close to Billericay and our Company Emblem is The Mayflower


Pilgrim Fathers[edit]
A meeting of the Pilgrim Fathers prior to their sailing in the Mayflower is said to have taken place in Billericay, and many local names and much historical imagery reflect this: Mayflower House, Morris Men, Taxis, School, Hall. Sunnymede School's houses were called Mayflower, Pilgrim, Chantry and Martin (after Christopher Martin, a Billericay merchant who travelled on the Mayflower as Ship's Governor).

Four people from Billericay were on board, including Christopher Martin. He and his wife Marie, along with Solomon Prowe and John Langemore, perished shortly after their arrival at Cape Cod, Massachusetts.

The unfortunate fate of the would-be pioneers did not deter other inhabitants of Billericay from setting sail for the New World. The town of Billerica, Massachusetts was established in 1655 by colonists from Billericay and named after their home town in England.

But Lucy Fur was talking about the time they went to Mayfair and had a lovely night out.

22 pages in this thread yields its first positive effect...

Those girders coming from Holland, right?

Sorry, that's gone whoosh over my head...

 

[Dulwich Mishi]

Um, how is pointing out that a capacity of a ground is wrong 'nit-picking'. If you carry on like that I'll have a view of you as coming across as a bit of a mug online, and we wouldn't want that would we...

Not sure of the figure, but I think a lot less tickets than that went on sale, but not sure, off the top of my head...

 

[Dulwich Mishi]

Very pleasant. Thanks Mishi.

Now changed, in original post, because of your sensitivity.

 

[Dulwich Mishi]

As pleasant as him referring to a hunger strike as a "Bobby Sands" on the Beckenham thread.

Personally I don't think that was offensive. As someone who remembers those days I fully supported and marched for the aims of the hunger strikers, and today I still believe in one united Ireland.
I wasn't actually referring to a hunger strike as a 'Bobby Sands' . I was referring to it as a term for going hungry... hardly the most offensive thing in the world, but then I like comedians like Jimmy Carr, Frankie Boyle & Rickie Gervais, so perhaps my 'sense of humour' is different to yours...

I wasn't worried, just shocked, then again all of those comedians are capable of being offensive, even if I find them funny.

I'll have to try this one with my wife.

I wonder if Carlsberg know about his 'jokes' about mental health sufferers and the unemployed?

Tamplin revealed to Tribalfootball: "We just got a sponsor called Carlsberg and its a bit of a joke because of their promotion at the moment, 'If Carlsberg did… It would probably be the best in the world'.

"Carlsberg have actually sponsored us for £80,000-a-year and they've sponsored all our bars and they're saying if Carlsberg did non-league football, they'd do Billericay.

"Thats the impact we've had. So theres sponsors like that now [at the club]."

 

[mick mccartney]

Ah, but your assumption would be that it would be a stereotyped 'dolly bird' [to use old fashioned vernacular type of cheerleading...

As it is our approach/idea didn't quite come off, but you will just have to take my word for it, that it was a little 'outside the box'...

....this has slipped under the radar... so come on what was the plan ?? Jack and The Jackettes , all-singing , all-dancing bring you The Olde Tyme Hot Hits of Yesteryear .. . 1st up .. If I were Dean Carpenter ...

 

[Dulwich Mishi]

I'll have to try this one with my wife.

Depends on her sense of 'humour' I suppose....

 

[AveryDave]

Please post up any responses you get from the Chairman and any other officials. I honestly fear that Tamplin's actions may lead to ugly scenes off the pitch.

Will do. Have asked for confirmation of receipt and of what actions they're proposing to take to investigate, and then anything further coming out of that. I'm not exactly holding my breath, though.

I can't be arsed to sign up, but are there more topics for members in their forum? It seems very quiet for the biggest club in Essex/champions-elect/best fans in the world etc

We also sent our criminals there to join them, until their "Brexit" in 1775.

He's now Tweeted an apology and deleted the post (on advice I'm guessing). And then put up some bizarre stuff about his swollen testicle, god and lions.

All is well in the Bostick

He does seem to like talking swollen testicles.

 

[EDC]

I remember seeing on telly years ago that swollen gonads are caused by steroid abuse.

Only if you like talking to yourself.

Poor old Glenn. How he suffers for us all.

He seems to be developing something of a persecution compex

I have a scar on my arm from when I was so drunk I scraped it along a wall outside Sheffield Children's Hospital.

Pleased to know I am stronger than that wall.
