There is only one man for the job.The Monkeys Bellend,haha.No one is better suited when it comes to handling media relations & saying all the right things.Sign him up now 😀
Who in the name of sanity is Monkeys Bellend?? Lol
You don’t know the Monkeys Bellend? Wow you have missed a treat there Jack.He would be ideal,he is a one man media wrecking ball from Wetties called Banjo,hahaha.Perfect for the job 🙂
Think you have nailed it Rad.Though clearly we will have to have a large debate about his grammar & use of apostrophes first.Dearly hope he can lob a comma in the right place as well lol
ahahah… brilliant idea Rads, I think the monkey is the ideal profile: calm and diplomatic. Maybe he should change his look by taking off his biker leather jacket and his sunglasses… a tuxedo is more suitable for him… lol In the event that he does not accept the assignment, we have one more ace up our sleeve… AOI. Our occasional and intellectual guest… ahah I have a feeling he’s coming… lol 😉
You are forgetting he won’t leave his job of manager in waiting,
Maybe it’s a job for the lovely lady that controls the zoo ?
Never mind we don’t seem to have a weekly update anymore of how close our points were to this time last year and our position in the league ?
Beware what I wish for,
