The Festive Season goes Buffoon

Tis always a good time of year for japery and foolishness, and this festive season has begun in earnest. With nobody challenging Pembos early lead for a month or two there has been little to report. First up a Knobhead (1 pointer) to my good self. Trying to fathom out the London underground, I asked which tube stop was the one one for St Paul's. "That will be St Paul's mate" said the smirking attendant. Next up we have an Eejit (4 pointer). After the Brentford game, we were all sat in a boozer discussing the Heroic display by their keeper, to secure them a victory. "We've got him on loan from Reading, played for Denmark as well" a knowledgeable local told us. "So he's Swedish," opined a not so knowledgeable Shouty. In fact that is so stupid I'm upgrading it to a Fuckwit (6 pointer). But the stupidity in the Big Smoke, was preceded by that rarest of sightings, a full blown Buffoon (10 pointer). If you were to say who was one of the least blessed amongst the Bender Squad at simple house repair, DIY or maintenance, I am sure that the Helmet would figure at the top, or very high on most lists. And with good reason. He has recently moved into new dwellings, and there was an issue with the bath tub not draining properly. "A job for the landlord" I here you shout. But the Tony decided to don his toll belt and sort it out himself. He unclogged several years worth of hair and stuff, to unclog the pipes, and went down stairs to show his missus what a top fella he was around the home. In his haste to show off his masculinity he forget something. Do you know what it was? Yep, that's right. He didn't reassemble the piping. So after the next bath time, he ended up with a lido in his kitchen. John the Don would be proud.. So an update on the current standings is in order;

  1. Tony Helmet 10 points
  2. Shouty 6 points
  3. Pembo 4 points
  4. Euro Bri 1 point
With the party season arriving, I expect further entries before the year end, especially as there is the infamous Otleyfest just around the corner. Merry Buffoonmas indeed.
