Postbag: Spit spatting
17 August 2006
Due to a failure of contractual negotiations between Cod Almighty and the postbag editor, future
postbags will be brought to you by CA's new letter-editing team with their shiny new letter-editing
equipment. I don't get out of bed for less than six grand per postbag, you hear?
Anyway, send
your complaints about CA's shocking handling of these negotiations to postbag@codalmighty.com.
Whither Grimsby
For James Booth:
Behold! Grimsby in Norway!.
And there appears to be a restaurant in
Christchurch, New Zealand called Grimsby's. Better than boring football eh?

Dim Butcher
Mr Tony Butcher's reports are indeed a thing of great
beauty, and something Town and football fans alike
should be proud of.
But I have to disagree with Mr Richard Dawson's
assertion that Mr Butcher's memory is undimmed. There are clearly times when Mr Butcher's
memory is clearly failing. The most recent example was his reporting that Peter Bore's first touch was
to score on
Saturday. I think not!
Or is it a case of taking artistic licence? Or is
there only a limited view of proceedings from Mr
Butcher's vantage point? Maybe a post is in the way,
or a standing supporter, or too much bemused gazing at the ground?

Daft ha'porth
"TOWN NOW HAVE TO LOOK FORWARD - KEEPER PHIL". I read this
headline in the GET and suddenly everything was clear. The daft sod was facing the wrong
way!

Enough with the "Luton's Michael Reddy" thing! You can't get away with
using the same old jokes time after time after time after time and still have people think they're funny,
you know.

Abort. Retry. Fail.
Croft
Baker maternity home was the former home of Croft Baker - a skipper who left his home in his will
so that it could be used as a maternity home due to the large number of abortions and unwanted
pregnancies caused by the fishing industry (at that time men with a lot of money at home for a short
period of time). There's also a park in Cleethorpes - I think it's Peoples Park - it's said to be full of the
skeletons of aborted babies another legacy of the fishing industry.

Lovely. Also, I've heard that there's a place in Grimsby where people used to be able to get
backstreet lower-leg transplants - Freshney Place. This was for ex-pirates who grew tired of their
peg leg. Another legacy of the fishing industry. [Letters Ed]
Shhhh
"Live football on the BBC... on your local BBC radio station" is the jist of an ad on
Radio 1 at the moment. Shall I tell them or you?

The only living haddock in New Cross
The only haddock in the south is terrible. Living in
Essex the only fish on offer is cod or plaice. The sighting of haddock on the menu is rare. This Friday
night I did spy some one though, nestling under the golden glow of the heater lamp. And I did purchase
said fish and it tasted like ithad just swum up river from Hades. It was god awful, and nothing like the
taste of freshly fried haddock from Grimsby chip shop.
Let's be fair - it's sometimes the only good thing about
the nearly 400 mile round trip. So, to conclude: Don't worry about haddock not being available in
Southern
chippies, it's trash anyway.

Who is this Billo chap that JF refers to? Is he a new board member or local
DJ that I have missed?
Matt Jones

Get your free pull-out in next month's CA: Just who is Billo? His lives, his loves, his passions. We
give you the lowdown on the man himself. Don't miss it. [Letters Ed]
Wahey! Tits... oh
Burns/Fenty: Sort yourselves out, you are behaving like
titheads

I think that about sums it up. [Letters Ed]
Radio free Grimsby
Re: Different Wavlelengths by Ian Rawson. Summed up very nicely and I couldn't agree
more. Give us some bearable coverage Burns and Fenty! Or the koala gets it.

In the blue corner 'Positive' Joooohn Fentyyyyyyy...
Spot on from Ian Rawson. The out in the
open squabble is childish and no-one is coming out of it in a shining light. From two professional
bodies you'd expect professionalism. There has been none of that evident in this case. And Ian is
right: all the fans want is to be able to listen to the game on the radio, not sat at a computer.
Keep up the good work.
