"Norman Stanley Fletcher (Darcy Stephen Ward) , you have pleaded guilty to the charges brought by this court, and it is now my duty to pass sentence. You are an habitual criminal, who accepts arrest as an occupational hazard, and presumably accepts imprisonment in the same casual manner. We therefore feel constrained to commit you to the maximum term allowed for these offences — you will go to prison for five years." Now I wonder where we have heard this children, yes your quite right children on Porridge. I hear that Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais are been commissioned to write the 2015 remake version and you are all invited to put forward who you would naturally like to fill the parts of the actors in this series.

We will start of with Darcy Ward in the starring role as Fletcher and you can fill in the rest of the blank characters as you all think fit. Don't forget Harry Grout,Luke Warm, Mr Mackay,Mr Barraclough and Gober and also the rest of Slade prison inmates. Good Luck.

 

Strictly on intelligence, surely Darcy would be more suited to the Brian Glover 'Heslop' role in Porridge... :t::D

There is a new movement afoot..

 

The lackeys are all tweeting photos of Darcy posing for photos.

 

After all, if you pose for a photo, you can do no wrong!

 

I'm sure there will be a further delay now while the FIM take this now evidence into account.

are all them names you were called true?? :)

Maybe It was some of Fletch's home brew that caused him to be dehydrated :drink:

I disagree - Ward doesn't seem intelligent enough to be Norman Stanley Fletcher.

 

Perhaps I might suggest 'orrible Ives.

The man has proved many times on social media, his quotes on tv and as Team GB manager that he is a clown

 

 

 

Remember this is the same Neil Middleditch who was the GB International team manager, but had to let Phil Morris officially do the job because he'd forgotten to apply for an international team managers' licence.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Maybe he forgot to apply for a team managers license and someone else has been doing the job for him ;):P

 

 

The same Team GB manager that took us to 'a flashing light' away from winning SWC 2004. Short memories.

Because Ford can afford the best riders

 

So why doesn't your team or anybody else's team win the title year in year out?:

We all start the season with 7 riders and zero points.

Some promotions 'put bread on the table', some just grub arounding moaning.

 

No, the riders took us to that.

Yeh, Ipswich's own Scott Nicholls. :mad:

Not sure what year it was must have been 2008 or 09. that the Austrlian team came to the world cup meeting at Kings Lynn, they sat joking and playing about,They where acting like a load of clowns and so sure they would win the meeting, but it all went pear shaped for them, it was a picture to see their faces when they lost and had to get through the next round to qualify. They came to that meeting a totally different team, so I pressume they got a right old dressing down, The same Middlo, was also in the act mucking around with his two young stars, Ward and Holder, when he should have been more concerned with his own team.

Darcy had that care less attitude for most of his following Career.

Last season I saw a dramatic change in him, where he was not sure, that he was bothered riding anymore, it was just his attitude when he lost races, looking like a little boy lost, with his heada bowed and then going and sitting in the pits with his head in his hands.

I think there was more going on in Darcy's life, then anyone knew, the drinking sesion before the GP was just a lpart of this very depressed young, lost rider, who seemed to have lost his way in life.

He needs to get his life in order, before he ends up as a rider, who could have been a world champion, but fell at the last hurdle and was never raced again.

I really think I should give up the attempts at humour :-\

So, what are you saying? He should get away with it?

 

NO EXCUSE RIDING WITH ALCOHOL IN YOUR SYSTEM ON RACEDAY. End of..........

If my memory serves me right Graham 'Turnip' Taylor managed to only lose one out his first twenty three games in charge of the England Football team.

 

But he was still totally out his depth in the job.

And found sadly wanting when it mattered

 

Any similarity to Muddlo is entirely intentional.

Interesting comparison. It took me back to the 2010 play off final when Poole started to unravel after Bombers unexpected but brilliant heat 6 win. That was the sort of occasion when a team manager really earns his keep, the sort of occasion when young riders need mature leadership, a cool head and a metaphorical steady hand on the tiller. Where was Muddlo then ? Running round in a panic and leaving Dave Watt to motivate the troops and give the TV interviews.

I don't know what happened to a post that I put up earlier.

No one has told me why it has been removed.

 

So

If, perchance, it was inappropriate I have altered it to reduce any offence that may have been perceived.

No doubt as to who the guy on the right is? I wonder what he thinks about this...?
