NOW IS (NOT) THE WINTER OF OUR DISCONTENT by Sir Arun of Yogshire

(PS impressive how this passed predictive text ?)

Well, hither we wend into the 2nd act of that well rehearsed playeth hath called "stratford at home". Though tis not quite what forsooth as the vaward of the opposition, in order to carryeth out the aforementioned second act of taming of the sils, hath forsooth taken on the part of the first conspirator from coriolanus and hath forsooth refused to playeth at the midsummer nights hour of 5. 30pm. Hence forth we wilt beest playing at 3. 30pm in Hamlet in Arden.

What sayeth I to this? King Lear (or something quite like that). concluded, be it, to receiveth to the matter in handeth as we wend onto the next war, a bit of grit and determination as per the 2nd half of last weeks game wilt forsooth serveth us well.

The 3 fingered motto of shape purpose and discipline wast hard to see last week. Our shape (well mine wast rotund) but thither wast far too much playeth from our half leading towards the hath left. thee knoweth what that leadeth to!

Purpose( well i didst intend to has't mine double brandy ere the match not after... but tardiness putteth hath paid to that idea! ) the idea that we would harrass the opposition into mistakes wast difficult to carryeth out ov'r a long period of time with new personnel and a difficult opponent in many ways. Discipline should not beest an issue at our age and our level. an uphill office is madeth nigh on impossible if 't be true we continueth to not carryeth out our 3rd motto. if 't be true we behold upon t as a game and game only then the corner that I bethought we hadst turned last year at which hour we hardly hadst any card wast only a temporary thing. recall tis how thee visage adversity that is important and this year we art showing we art not up to t in the discipline stakes. No point calling yourselves mighty if 't be true at which hour push cometh to shove we revert to type. We must playeth the game the right way.!

Enough ranting. Talking about mighty, if 't be true the pen is truly mightier than the sword wherefore doth actions speaketh louder than words? ”

Joking aside the meaning of that phrase is down as "you can solve problems or achieve thy purpose better and more effectively through communication with words" so alloweth at least talk about our shape and purpose and discipline more by sticking together talking more on the pitch and talking more off t.. I has't noticed a diminishing number of our team gathering at sils afterwards and we at each moment hath said that cometh what may we would not doth that so without intention of who we art playing for we ought to maketh a pact to improve on not only our 3 parts of our motto but eke this last fact!
