A Piece of the Action

After much angst, I purchased stock in Manchester United. I've decided to give the Cellar a piece of the action. I pledge my dividends to be donated to the tip jar.

Now, let's all root for Manchester United since we own a part of the team. I bought enough stock so we probably own a shoe lace or a needle valve.

what the hell are you doing buying stock in anything?

I thought you lived in a trailer with no electric in a swamp? Can you even watch the games?

Swamp???

No.

He's in the Army now
He's not behind a plow
He's seeking riches
To pay some bitches
He's in the Army now

I thought he was saving for a trip to England. Should've bought stock in Aylesbury. maybe you'd get discounts on flights to the AGM.

Never in a million years will I root for United. Come on you blues.....

My Old Man Said Be A City Fan
(to the tune of 'Don't Dilly Dally On The Way')

My old man, said "be a city fan",
I said "f*ck off, you're a c*nt!",
"I'd rather shag a bucket with a big hole in it,
Than be a city fan for just one minute".

With hatchets and hammers,
Stanley knives and spanners,
We'll show those city b*stards how to fight,
(how to fight)
"I'd rather shag a bucket with a big hole in it,
Than be a city fan!".
(all together now)..

I've been on extended orders this summer working at Camp Shelby and Camp McCain. I've been living in the barracks and banking the cash. You might recall I posted photos of the barracks and range where I was working

The VA this week ruled I am 80% disabled. This last stint at the VA hospital cinched it for me. I'll be able to stay in the Guard until my Medical Review Board next year. When they medically retire me, I will be drawing VA Disability and my National Guard Retirement.

I'm still in a gray area where I can catch a non-combat tour and I'm trying to get to Africom for 6 months for a final tour.

I can keep an eye on United's fortunes and smile, I don't mind.
I had to adopt Leicester when I lived there, Aylesbury Ducks every Boxing Day, West Ham for family reasons and most recently MK Dons.

I'm liberal with my loyalty.

This is my fave from when I used to go to Birmingham City (Bachelor Boy):

When I was young my father said
"Son I have something to say....
You be a Villa fan,
until your dying day."

I said "Bollocks you Cunt I'm a Birmingham fan
And that's the way I'll stay
I'll be a Birmingham Fan
Until my dying day"

I think I thought I'd forgotten this.
Despite Ste & I still saying "yore-ugg-away!"

Apols if I've posted it before.


This was what I was looking for.
Ad I know I've posted it before, so no apols.

Sigh, we have lost $12.55 in our stock purchase. So much for my plans to buy our own tropical island for the Cellar.
