Tighty.....BEHAVE !!

[TightEnd]

Here at Tighty Towers the email has been humming with good luck messages for our players, as they head off in the next 24-36 hours to the Luton metropolis to pit their wits against their peers. And Steve Redfern


Here are a selection



Firstly, for Mr Redfern himself




"See Steve, Two APAT Gold medals in the picture. Been a while since you got one of those isn"t it? All those hours supervising Swimming galas, and all the hopes that your children could one day swim in the Olympics. However concentrate please, forget the galas for one weekend, and take down another APAT. If only so you can have a display picture like Yates. Only bigger. Good luck Steve"

[TightEnd]

Roy Hodgson has a message for Scouse Bayliff


"Steve, this is my look when I have a big hand but don"t want anyone to know. I know we haven"t given you much to smile about recently. We even lost to Everton. However brighter times are ahead. We might finish fourth bottom. Good luck in Luton. Remember that talk we had about being quiet and sober? Good lad"

[TightEnd]

Foghorn Leghorn has a message for Craig MacInnes



" I say I am the loudest, I say I am. Not you, me. I say good luck in Luton, but put the career as my stunt double on hold for one weekend please. I say put it on hold, I say"

[TightEnd]

Phil Laak has a message for Andy Overton



"Unabomber? You? Study the look Pants Man. This is mean and moody. Well played for trying though, and good luck in Luton"

[TightEnd]

Sven Goran Erikkson has a message for Martyn prime, Paul Petcher and someone else




"No Martyn, I do not want to go walking in Luton on Friday. I have, er, another arrangement in my Leicester hotel room. One second thats my phone ("Hello sweetheart, why yes dear 2.30pm is good"). Good luck in Luton Martyn and Paul. Martyn, do you work for Easyjet?"

[TightEnd]

Fern and Phil have a message for Debjani and Andrew Duncan



"Win at Luton, well Debs win, Andrew finish 12th or something, and you can come on the next series of All Star Mr and Mrs if you like?

First question......Debs, Andy has AK on the button to a raise and a re-raise, but the re-raise is from Tony Trippier. Does he a) call b) shove or c) fold or d) fold quickly?

ok, see you at the studios soon"

[TightEnd]

Mr Gilbert from The Inbetweeners has a message for Rob Swindells



Greg Davies, the actor says

"Hello Rob I am delighted to be on This is Your life (ed. It"s not This is your life Greg). Sorry I wil start again. Rob, I am delighted to say something random to someone I have never met because you may not know this but I based my portrayal of Mr Davies on you? Yes, you. Next, I get to donk out of 37 APATs, just like you. Good luck in Luton"

[Swinebag]

Sigh. Has it really been that many? If not it could well be soon unless i retire.

[Chipaccrual]

So, Luton it is for the weekend.  I"m sure Tighty has some amazing facts about the place to share over the next few days.

Famous people from Luton, I"ll kick it off with.......
