Postbag: Tired all the time
24 August 2006
Morning. Anyone else as tired as me? Nope, thought not. It doesn't help you know. Your team playing
cak that is. Especially when you're tired. It's really hard to stay awake. Really, really hard.
Yawn. Anyway, people either seem too depressed to email about the current state of the team, or are past
caring. If there's something else you'd rather tell the word, do it here: postbag@codalmighty.com
Grimsby all over the world
Welcome back Mr postbag, Sir.
Never mind the Grimsby in Norway, impressive though it is. Never even mind Grimsby, Ontario, where
I spent a mercifully brief part of my 23rd birthday. Because... there's only a blooming Humberstone in
Chile!
There's also a People's Park in Grimsby, besides the Cleethorpes one mentioned by your
correspondent (where's that one anyway?). Also, good haddock in London can be found at Seafresh
in Wilton Road - round the back of Victoria station. And Geales in Notting Hill. And... nowhere else in
London. At all.
Don't like Town's baseball player-esque white and black Nike socks. Come on you Grimsby redsox
dudes.

It looks almost as nice as the UK Humberstone too... [Letters Ed]

Hark the Herald
Sadly the players are not being sent back to RAF Honington for failing to
convince anyone during the first three games of the season.
As you were so kind after my last clipping from the Bury Free Press, my father-in-law (who works at
the base) has sent me a clipping from the Honington Herald magazine. A full page featuring our
favourite
bunch of rogues (and the Town players) sitting in front of a Buccaneer, I think.
It's all a bit old now, but with the lack of actual new signing etc - but you may find some use for it. And
there's probably some comedy value in the pictures.

Cheers Nige. There's ALWAYS comedy value in pictures like this, I can assure you. Even if it just
makes me laugh. [Letters Ed]
Radio unfree Grimsby
Pathetic. Fenty's lost the plot. Town away and its a dreary
saturday afternoon - so you go shopping in Hull or Scunny for a change. But you want the Town
commentry to listen to in the car - you don't take your bloody laptop with you. I've listened to
Humberside's commentaries for about 25 years and it's all part of supporting the Mariners, even if
your not at the match. If John Tondeur's there you know you'll get a Town fan's perspective. Sort it
Fenty!

Codalmighty - bringing families together
I just found your site while searching for
information about Vanse and Farsund, Norway. Near the bottom of the page was a message from a
Norman Grimsby asking for help.
My maiden name is Grimsby, my great-grandfather, Conrad Grimsby, was born in Farsund, Norway in
1843 and was brought to the United States shortly after birth. My father received an inheritance that
was derived from the sale of the Grimsby Farm there in Norway. I feel certain that Norman is closely
related to me and my brother, who also lives in southern California. I would very much like to get in
touch with him and share info on the family, including info about the shipping that the Grimsby's did as
well as their connection to Grimsby, England. I noted that Norman did have an e-mail address but it
was omitted in the message, which I assume was done to protect his privacy. But I thought if you
could relay my message to him with my e-mail address, maybe he would get in touch with me.
Please let me know if this is possible. I am assembling the information about our family for an album
and am about ready to start writing the history. I feel certain that we could be of great assistance to
each other. Thank you very much.

Glad to be of service Agatha. I'm sure our readers will be pleased to hear that Agatha and Norman
have been in touch, and they're second or third cousins. I've never really understood that second
cousin thing - is it your cousin's cousin or something? [Letters Ed]
A letter about bikes and mattresses
Just what sort of people do you have contributing
letters to this postbag. Your STAR LETTER in last weeks postbag was from somebody who thought
that Peoples Park was in Meggies and was built on a pile of aborted foetuses, or is it foeti. It's just
sick.
Everyone knows that Peoples Park is in Grimsby and is actually built on a small feather mattress
named Lionel and an old bicycle from Cooks. The ghost of the bicycle can sometimes be seen in the
pond.
A few more articles on Grimsby and Cleethorpes history wouldn't go amiss.

Ok. Who wants to write a few more articles on Grimsby and Cleethorpes? Come on... there must
be someone with nothing better to do... [Letters Ed]
