Leigh Centurions • Re: Weekly Prediction League?
Aaaaahh! Good evening, good evening, good evening, good evening, good evening, and welcome all to WPL (more than a handful’s wasted) CCup Special and a hearty welcome to the audience and to this evening’s guests. To Bongser’s left we see this round’s biggest misnomer, yes it’s “Summer Rugby”. Sharing a desk with him is one of today’s, featured game, postponements. To the right we have the other and, as ever, Mr Alan Davies. Fingers on hooters, please.
At great expense to the BBC (though less so to Dave), you were all given a “Pokemon in the Room” little sticky-uppy thingy. Now, now! No schoolboy sniggering, please, and no Ms Brand you still can’t have one.
With seven featured matches still going ahead, the Pokemon bonus was still available but nobody saw the “Debacle of Dewsbury” coming. With both Whitehaven and Barrow winning, maybe Dr Marwan has inadvertently instilled a NIMBY siege mentality in Cumbria.
Couple of late entries this week. VL missed the first two games and WLJ just the first. The latter latecomer did “postdict” the correct winner in Friday’s mismatch (unsurprisingly a clean sweep for all the eligible posters) and Bongser did spot this despite the distraction of Jim “guessing” the margin and scoreline wrongly around twelve hours after the completion of the game!! Alas, he shall have no points on that match.
Now, oh my, oh my, oh my! Do Bongser’s eyes deceive him? We seem to have (as well as a rare, if squeaky bum, victory for Leigh – did anyone else notice that Darth Caroli went over to the dark side?) a hen’s tooth in the room: The Publican correctly predicted the exact score line of the Barrow vs Sheffield game. Aaaaahh, he shall have points – 19 thus far making him this week’s leader, though not yet winner. All of which brings us neatly to the bit we like to call “General Ignorance”.
Ol’ Pa Bongser, whenever he espied a more than generously proportioned lady would exclaim, “By ‘eck! If she says it’s Sunday, it’s bl00dy Sunday”. As it is indeed Sunday he must have been right. But in this ever changing world it will be Tuesday before two burly girlies pluck from the swirlies and Bongser can’t score the bonuses until then. By ‘eck! If they say it’s Tuesday, it’s bl00dy Tuesday – especially as they’re holding the balls.
Until then, Bongser will leave you with a cheerful (though less than Wagnerian) composition by one Howard Goodall.
