Quotes of the week
There were a lot of bleary-eyed crew members walking through the door on Tuesday morning after the transfer window came to a close.
Most of us were glued to our screens into the early hours of the morning and it was all very exciting stuff... Robinho to Man City, Berbatov to Man Utd and Marouane Fellaini to Everton, which Simon was particularly excited about.
But in truth it was all a bit of an anticlimax because the real action took place on Saturday after John Akinde joined Bristol City for £140,000 from Ebbsfleet!
As one of the 7,000 board members of the club, we obviously had a bit of an interest in that one, although we were a little concerned that we weren't told about the sale of Akinde until it had happened!
Still as Disco Dave said the most important question here is 'how much do we get of that £140,000!?'
Meanwhile, Tom and Trev proved how dedicated they are to the cause after they spent their day off working on new ideas in the best place for ideas - the pub!
A solid few hours of work was followed by a few beers and probably the worst pub quiz ever according to the boys.
Not only was there a know-it-all who was sitting on the table next to them rubbing his 'superior' knowledge in their faces, there were no sports questions either! Now that's just wrong.
To compound a bad couple of days, Tom admitted he lost a bit of money in a high stakes poker game.
He It was a tense affair by all accounts and after a solid six hours at his computer he lost the grand total of 50p!
"I was a little annoyed because I was 70p up at one point," he told us.
As annoying as that must have been it's not as bad as thinking that you had won the lottery! Lisa got all excited on Sunday when she found an email from Euro Millions in her inbox with the subject matter, you're a winner!
Unfortunately she had only won a tenner and not the £70 million pound jackpot! On the upside no one else won either so we've all got our fingers crossed in the hope that one of us wins the small sum of £92 million!
See you next week... unless of course we're £92 million richer!
