Don't get too excited, although that's the right thread, I can't see that the cartoon strips come up - maybe one of the mods can look into it?
Edit - Cricko and I posted at the same time - very strange that they're not there?

No parting words from PB then, Andy? :winking:
It's gut wrenching for me...
I haven't been this excited awaiting the last chapter of the PB Diaries, since the cinema release of Back to the Future 3, only to learn by the final scene, that there will never be a back to the future 4.... or even worse when Goose died in Top Gun.
Lord oh Lord, I understand that a change of management should happen, but why didn't Ron offer Phil the club shop ticket manager position or in charge of purchasing onions for the west stand instead....?
So many questions....So little answers!!.. For example who's gonna play Buckeroo with Hort's now?
Kids, let me give you some life advice.... The world is a cruel place, and everything good in the world eventually comes to end.
I need closure Andy!!
RIP

I guess some of yous are wondering where I am. Well, when I say some, I guess it might only be a few. Probably just a handful, if truth be told. OK just me two remaining followers on me twittergram account it is, then!
Well, I decided to book meself a little Caribbean break to get away from it all. I chose the Palm Beach View Hotel in Boa Vista as it soonds all posh, like. Turns oot, I'm stuck here in Cape Verde. FFS, I didnae even know it existed. It's a bit of a dump, if I'm brutally honest, but it's given me time to reflect on me last few years doon in Southend with you lots.
How did I end oop here, I keep asking meself. Last Wednesday, I turns oop for training, as usual, when a steward fella stops me in the car park and says there's no spectators allowed. I says what yer talking aboot, man and he looks all surprised and says "Didn't you get the call from Mr Martin?" .. I thinks what bl**dy call and I'm straight doon the ground to confront him.
He looks all flustered like and tells me to sit doon. I knew things were oop when I saw a framed photo of Chris Powell on his desk. I donnae likes the look of this, I thinks. He starts off on some old tangent. Frankly, I was getting confused, like. He says I've lost the dressing room, the fans have lost the dressing room, I've lost the fans, the senior players have lost the junior ones, the dressing room has lost the senior players, Horts has lost the keys and he's lost his patience. In short, he says, we're losing. I says, yer can say that again, but I have an eye on a couple of fellas who can help oot. But he says it's all too late and frankly I'm gonnae have to go on gardening leave. I says I've never done that in me life. I can't stand gardening!
Apparently Wordy is doing it as part of his community service, though he just stands in the middle of the garden pruning a bush all afternoon, he tells me, while his helpers do all the fetching and carrying for him. I says if yer think I'm doing that Ron, you've got another thing coming. But he says it's only a figure of speech and I'll just be free to do what I like all day, which doesnae soond a lot different to normal, to be truthful.
As I sit here on me sun lounger watching the tropical storm lash doon, I've had time to reflect on me times here at Southend. I knows I wasnae the most popular manager ever here. In fact, probably one of the least, but I did like being with you lots and I brought one great memory I likes to think. Something you'll never forget. Yep, those back-to-back clean sheets at Walsall. Those were the days when we knew how to defend, eh!
So, I leave having done me best and given me all to the club. I think we shared a few great matches and I'm hoping I leave the club in better shape than when I started. That was what I wanted to do and I think we managed it. Me, Horts and Coghs.
I leaves yer with the words of Edith Pioff "Je Ne Regrette Rien".
Until the next time. Good luck to yers all! :thumbsup:

We are going to miss your updates on here, Phil.
If only your players had displayed such creativity and ingenuity on the pitch in the last few months, then I'm sure you would have been around here for longer.
If you have time, I'm sure the odd report from your gardening leave would be welcome here. While i wouldn't want to second-guess your horticultural skills (hortoncultural?), the least I would expect to see would be a couple of massive ancient oak trees as the centrepoint, a few spindly saplings along the periphery, with the rest filled in with a collection of shrubs, sitting in square pots planted in round holes, which burst into beautiful flower once every few years but for the rest of the time lounge around sullenly waiting for the sun.

Well worth the wait, Andy :thumbsup:
Like all the great comedies of the past, i'm hoping Andy T is scripting a "PB Diaries Christmas Special".
Picturing it now...... Christmas lunch polished off, Queens speech done, then gather the kids and the computer for a bit of festive comedy gold.

Surely he will be “ pulling up trees” not planting them. Maybe he will nurture the young saplings and give them some support when the wind changes and therefore get to see them grow and mature into perfect specimens. He needs to be careful when spreading the manure though as too much can have a negative effect on growth.

Well worth Fasto points for the final episode, unfortunately I have to "spread it around". Left me with a little tear in the eye :cry:
Absolutely brilliant work on these Andy, he's a man with a sense of humour and Ic ould imagine him really enjoying them.
