Has anyone else got CCFC stuff at work? Check out my desk:
20170504_111210.jpg

This'll be embarrassing if I'm the only person who has got anything like this, but on the basis that I used to work with other City fans who had A4 landscape photos of the famous Houchen flying header on their desks, I'm pretty sure I'm not alone in this.

I particularly like that you have a grim looking picture of a canal.

I presume such a tiny portion of your desk is CCFC dedicated because the rest of your desk is filled with all your Council victory champagne corks?

reassuring to know I'm not the only one whose desk looks like it's had a hand grenade explode on it.

I have a picture of a disused quarry filled with water on mine. I think it's quite common to either have a picture of your wife or of somewhere where you were really happy with her - e.g. the place where you dumped the body.

get the feeling if she ever read that post there'd only be one person ending up at the bottom of a quarry!

Wow.

Is this for real?

Edit: Not having a go, I just didn't realise 12 year olds worked in offices.

Ha fairly accurate. Thing is when you tell people you support a lowly team like Cov it seems to lodge in their memory until your birthday or Xmas. All the Cov junk I have have been gifts and better they stay in the office than o take it home.

Grim? That's Brentford river bridge near the canal basin, with my office on the far left of the screen. Historic site, that - that's where the parliamentary army fought off Charles I's attempt to invade London at the start of the civil war. Holding London with all its wealth and strategic value was key to parliament eventually prevailing in the war.

Nah I tidied them all away. Looking forward to the next round, though.

Well I had just finished a brew when I took the photo, I wasn't pretending it was clean.....if you must know I obsessively clean it out before each new brew during the working day.

Some years back, I'd started in a new office job and was making a brew for a few folks, including my new boss. The inside of his mug was so covered in tea stains you couldn't even see what colour it was originally. While the kettle was boiling I scrubbed the shit out of that mug, it was absolutely pristine again by the time I was done. Delivered the tea, secretly pleased with myself only for my boss to go nuts after a couple of sips - he thought the stainage somehow enhanced the flavour of his tea and had spent months deliberately building it up like that. I didn't last long in that department.

IMG_4083.JPG I have This framed pic on my wall in my office and an obligatory mug! (Not talking about me as a CCFC fan there lol)

Maybe a similar photo of George Thomas to go with it?

I've got framed pictures of the 87 cup final in my office. I'm always amazed that many Americans who visit my office assume that I am the person doing the diving header.

We've seen a picture of your bedroom recently haven't we? To be fair, it looked like it had a '70s decor' feel.... ;-)

Just retired (sort of) and Ileft the latest CCFC calendar on the wall (full of players/manager etc who have since departed !) Did bring back home a Sky Blues coaster that my lad made for me out of hama beads (had to google how to spell them!) when he was about 5 years old (so lasted 6 years - not bad!). Have a CCFC pencil case that somebody bought me years ago (what 50+ yr old owns a pencil case?!) but can't bring myself to throw it away - seems disloyal. Yes I really am that sad!!!

I knew that when you said to me "I won't pay you, I'll donate it to charity", the charity in question would be the 'Sky Blues Talk's Otis Benevolent Fund' !!!
