Rookie crying over spilt beer
No sooner was new singing Andy ‘Peter Crouch’ Whiting called up from the ranks of the Windrush design studio to the Windrush pool ‘A’ team before he was relegated back to the bench again. Many had tipped ‘Crouchy’ for the top before his eagerly awaited debut..Okay not ‘many’ but his mum thinks he is ‘quite good for a tall lad’. No one could have anticipated that this rookie can’t actually fit into the room where the pool table is. In his favour he can reach right across the table from the next room - without a rest, but as it turned out that was to prove his undoing. With the black ball poised and his opponent ‘Tsunami’ Sue Mills on the ropes or at least at the bar again...Crouchy reached for the final shot - knocked over two beers, three pensioners, (there for the pension day special ‘soup of the day and a straw”) and a small Jack Russell. His opponent was covered in beer (nothing new there some would say); the pensioners covered in leek and potato; and the Jack Russell ended up catching Crouchy’s cue in the most unusual manner. The vet says he will be fine, but could retain that surprised expression for some time. Andy ‘Crouchy’ Whiting may yet get another shot at the big time, but it’s long shot...no pun intended.
