Sorry it's late chaps. Here are my nominations for Week K:
Kidney
Of course, I don't mean the life saving organs of the body. Well, I do, but rather I mean when they are used as food. I sincerely hope whoever has Week L next week (I haven't checked) will put liver in by the same token. A pie with meat in is a wonderful thing, don't ruin it by putting kidney in too. And if you must, don't accidentally sell it to me under the premise of it being 'meat and potato' in the Cheadle End. I nearly died.
Karaoke
Two kinds of people get up to do karaoke. Those who can really sing (or at least think they can), and those who are bloody awful but don't care who knows it. Strangely, we Brits love an underdog, so karaoke spectators in pubs and clubs tend to support the latter type of singer and resent the former. We might say 'Blimey, she can sing' but deep down we want her to fall over. I fall into neither category. I am a woeful singer, but will never get up to sing in front of people if I can help it, for that very reason. It's for their own good really. I hate karaoke, as I have been forced to do it three times in my life and died on my arse each time. I don't like being embarrassed, and especially not publically in front of lots of people.
Kennedy, Brian
Just, because.

Sorry Sandy, no way can I put kidney into the vault, I love the stuff as I do with liver (especially calves liver) so that stays out for me. I don't sing because I sound like a strangled cat when I do but I do like karaoke for no other reason that it's great entertainment after a few beers to watch someone die on their backside and just laugh at them!!
So there can only be 1 contender for this and that is he that his name I shall not speak!!

Sandy, I also like kidneys so can't put them into the vault, and although I detest Karoke just for people that think they can sing and really can't or pissed up people who enjoy making total tits of themselves but for me has to be that excuse of a man that gets dropped in to the vault hopefully in to a fire pit at the bottom.

bits of kidney cut up very small in a steak pudding are acceptable. to damn it with faint praise, kidney is better than liver, although i am very wussy about the idea of any offal to be honest.
i have never liked the idea of karaoke. therefore i have never done karaoke. i am slightly suspicious of someone attempting to put it into room 101 who has done it 3 times. sounds a bit 'oh i hate karaoke, it's ridicu...ooh...is that a microphone? and is that the seductive opening of 'dancing queen'? don't worry everybody...i've got this...' are you just trying to save your drunken self from itself here?
BK. he could have done much worse to county. yes he could. as the major creditor, he didn't have to agree to lose the majority of the debt we owed him for us to come out of administration. we'd have been liquidated and out of his ground that way. could have f***ed about with the sale price this summer, could have called us in on our rent arrears at any point. and he didn't. but failing to do the worst case scenario is only part of the story. his involvement angered and drained the county fanbase over a decade. successive boards failed, but he helped create the conditions for failure - in fact, made it so much more difficult to succeed.
BK then. he may be gone, but he's not forgotten.

I assure you this is not the case!
On two out of the three occasions, the first I knew I was doing karaoke was when my name was read out, having been put down by 'friends' for me. The first of those nearly got our group killed in an extremely rough pub in Enniskillen, and the second was on a stag do when myself and the stag were forced to sing Girls Aloud's Love Machine.

but those first two occasions really gave you a taste for it, and the third was entirely voluntary?!? what have you sung apart from girls aloud then, whitney?!?

Ah, those were occasions two and three. The first ever enforced karaoke was at an 18th birthday (I was also 18 at the time) at Poynton Cricket Club. No idea what we sang, but there were about 8 of us so I could hide at the back.
Strangely, we have 'Singstar' for the PS2, and although I can't sing, I don't mind playing that, as it's in the privacy of my own home. My wife and I performed a rather troubling version of 'Don't Go Breaking My Heart' a few years ago, and only realised half way through that the reason the song sounded so awful (apart from my voice - hers is quite good) was that I was singing Kiki Dee's part, and she was Elton John.

Has to be Kennedy
Kidney - not keen on, but kidney beans I love!!
Karaoke - so much fun watching people attempting to sing, and then sometimes you see someone who actually can sing and the whole pub stops and then joins in -
Offerton Hatter do you remember when you sang Angels in Tallinn?

If ever there was a candidate that elected itself, this is it.
C. Montkennedy Burns for me too.

Be gone, BK!

Love Hollands Steak and kidney pies, although you get less in a bag now..and I suspect they have shrunk a bit over the years as opposed to my stomach...(sorry thought I'd add that...)
Karoake... not much to say except, its not my scene, but I guess there's some entertainment in peeps getting up pi**ed and totally embarrassing themselves. Very occasionally you get someone who can actually sing...
Kennedy...difficult to forget the past and taking into account ars's comments he could have finished the club off. Whats most disappointing with the 'sale'of EP to the Council is it appears he couldnt find it in himself to write off the £200K debt.. why? I really dont know... so on that basis I have to change my initial karoke to BK.

I don't mind Karaoke to be honest. It's rare I'd do it but it can be quite good fun.
Kidneys are just gross.
It is definitely going to be a landslide this week and rightly so. That man has tried killing our club not caring how many people it upset or how many jobs it cost. Okay he did stay true to his word about selling the ground but at the end of the day it was too little, too late!
