CCFC stuff at work (1 Viewer)

oucho · May 9, 2017

Has anyone else got CCFC stuff at work? Check out my desk:

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.

Spot the tat! I live in the Cotswolds so bit of a rare breed round here. Our lovely receptionist used to be season ticket holder at Highfield Road tho

You need help.
Looks like my bedroom 50 years ago.

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.

Sorry Oucho, but clean that mug, you mug!

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!

i had a picture of mark robins on my desk once. the day after he left for huddersfield

effing brum fans in office.....

hill83 · May 9, 2017

Wow.

Is this for real?

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

The Reverend Skyblue · May 9, 2017

Oucho, is that wooden handled thingy sticking out of a mug a knife, if it is your boss may need to send you all on some urgent team building exercises

You're obviously a Henry, judging by the paraphernalia and my Sherlock-esque insight suggests you must be lonely too - you've got yourself on speed dial there!

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.

That's Alkhen's photo....

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.

Sounds like you stained your record there....

ccfc_ukr · May 9, 2017

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?

Yeah but make Thomas's picture thumbnail size to reflect the comparably lower significance of the Checkatrade vs the 87 final.

singers_pore · May 9, 2017

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.... ;-)

Bit harsh on Oucho. He may be a bit of a numpty, but mug is pushing it a bit don't you think!!

Not so much of a numpty that I won a £10 bet against YOU last season - ha!

Sky Blue Harry H · May 10, 2017

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!!!

stevefloyd · May 10, 2017

50 plus... now now come on

Yeah, but I nicked it out of your wallet that night down the pub, so who's laughing now!!

stevefloyd · May 10, 2017

He nicked it out your pocket first

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' !!!
