Have you never seen the episode of 'the office' when they have a fire drill?

Off at a tangent rambling story time:

The year I went off to Uni I got a job working in the Infirmary doing a mixture of portering and theatre assistant type stuff. There's a really old separate building called Christopher Home where they do the eye operations and I was based there with this 60 od year old fella with the shakes called Bert. Anyway, there wasn't much to do - fetch a patient from their bed about once an hour to take them up for an operation and just sit around outside the theatre waiting. Until the fire alarm went off one day and it was left to us and a couple of nurses to evacuate two 8 bed wards full of pensioners.

Most got into chairs and were pushed out but one or two it was quicker just to take the brakes off their beds and push them outside. Anyway after a bit we got the bleep that it was safe to move them back in and so got them in and retired to our little attic room for a smoke feeling pleased with ourselves. After we'd been up there about 20 minutes we heard this faint little voice going 'Hello? Hello?' We ignored it for a bit but eventually got up on the window ledge to look down. We'd pushed an old dear with both eyes bandaged up round the corner of the building still in her bed and forgotten her when we wheeled everyone back in


We were like shit off a shovel down the stairs and got there just before the surgeon who'd heard her as well I gave her a good excuse about waiting 30 mins for the all clear...

Questions for tomorrow's Fans Forum : Mon Jan 12, 2009 2:41 pm  

So, is anybody going ask any questions tomorrow? (That don't involve Weetabix)

If they're too scared (like me ), what would you like to ask?

I would certainly hope so.

There's been an awful lot of doubt expressed on this board in recent months about the running of the club. Now is definitely the time for people to put their money where their mouths are.

Maybe we could place a few questions on here on behalf of cherryandwhite.com and pass them onto Lenegan, Hogan and Noble to read out and answer.

I hope some people who are attending ask about the following:-

Sponsorship
Transfer movements or lack of them in key positions, although it seems some of these may well be coming to a head in the next few days for the 09 season, and longterm ie 2010 onwards.
Sam Tomkins - much debate about him on here, would be interested on the oficial line of why he was not used last year and plans for 09.

Ask em do they SERIOUSLY think we can challenge for trophies this year. If so, why? What has changed from last year

Thats if they have the time to do that. Maybe it's worth passing the questions onto the no scaredy cats on here to ask and then one of us could ask and then relay it on here tomorrow night

Where does the revenue from the South Stand bar & Concourse go.

i.e. are we lining Whelans pockets or does some of that revenue actually go back to Wigan RLFC.

Did anything get sorted regarding forming a partnership with an Australian club to send some of our better academy players over there on a scholarship.

My god, that's a 'damned either way' question isn't it?

If they say no, then the comeback is 'why not goddammit'. Say yes, and you ask why, what has changed?

I'm not sure we need this kind of negativity with a new season about to start.

The most obvious question i can think of is
"is there any truth in the rumours that we will be playing some games at leigh this season, if so why?"
