A Few Good NNM by GrahamH.

Scene One: A Dean Court Room.

Lord Snooty is in the witness box and Lt. GrahamH is cross examining the witness.

GrahamH: "Did you order a code NNM?"

Lord Snooty: "Son..."

GrahamH: "No, he plays for Spurs and he's not that sort of player..."

Lord Snooty: "You snot-nosed little..."

GrahamH: "Did you order a code NNM?"

Lord Snooty: "We live in a world that has N and those N are guarded by Ms with guns. Who's going to do it, you, you Lt. GrahamH? I have a greater responsibility for NNM than you could possibly fathom. What do you want?"

GrahamH: "I want the NNM."

Lord Snooty: "You can't handle the NNM!"

GrahamH: "Did you order a code NNM?

Lord Snooty: "YOU'RE GOD DAMN RIGHT I DID!"
Man U can't handle the NNM.

Amongst all the Yuletide happiness I’m afraid today I have to reflect on a situation causing concern.
As we open our 11th window we reflect upon the fate of Cherries hero Steve Fletcher.
Having been relieved of his duties as coach, Fletch has been appointed club ambassador.
Apparently all the excessive wining and dining this involves is having a negative effect on Fletch…as this recent picture of him in the gym seems to prove:

Can you believe it chums?
Halfway through our little Advent Calendar?
Christmas is getting closer! :santa::party:
As we open our 12th window I thought I’d add something a little new.
A few singalong Advent windows!
Here’s the first one.
Please join in with a hearty voice chums!


"Happy Bournemouth (Iraola)"

Spoken softly:
Happy Christmas, Yoko
Happy Christmas, Fletch

So this is Bournemouth
And what have we done
Another year over
And a new one just begun
And so this is Bournemouth
I think we’ve had fun
Our new team formation
Four Two Three One

Chorus
A very Merry Bournemouth
And a happy New Year
With goals from Solanke
And young Tavernier.

And so this is Bournemouth (Iraola)
For weak and for strong (we just love him)
For Meps and Lloyd Kelly (Iraola)
The ball is played long (nowwww)
And so happy Bournemouth (Iraola)
For black and for Red (we just love him)
For Watford & Scummers (Iraola)
It’s us they both dread (nowwwww)

Chorus
A very Merry Bournemouth
And a happy New Year
With goals from Solanke
And young Tavernier.

And so this is Bournemouth (Iraola)
And what have we done (we just love him)
We’ve beat Man United (Iraola)
And a great run has begun (nowwww)
And so happy Bournemouth (Iraola)
We’re all having fun (we just love him)
We love Cook and Christie (Iraola)
They tackle and run! (nowwww)

Chorus
A very Merry Bournemouth
And a happy New Year
We’ll play anybody
Without any fear

Iraola, we just love him
Iraola nowwww
Happy Bournemouth (Happy Bournemouth)
Happy Bournemouth (Happy Bournemouth)
Happy Bournemouth (Happy Bournemouth)
