Maybe there is a degree of correlation between people who want to run organisations and people who want to win quizzes.

Maybe there's an unknown rule 11 that has a portal to the twilight zone...

They took proxy points to win the quiz😂

Will the DTB quiz teams come clean on how they took the first two places in the Alex pub quiz [Link] ?

Current DTB might experience non league boardrooms fairly soon having still not addressed the elephant in the room..

Mahon, Holmes and Cooke are OTD players

The current DTB would have hated Non-league football, where there was a certain pride representing the club. One LSC Match clashed with a Football Club board meeting, and I was asked to pop on a suit and tie, and be the sole representative in the board room at an away match. Regretfully I was unable to eat all the food on offer! The wine though was very good. :o)

Although I wouldn't necessarily believe Fash, Leddy.

Doobs: you're too old for a crack at boyband status, hun.

Not for me Doobs. I have way too much vinyl as it is. Still looking at mounting all my Genesis covers in frames to put up my stairs. I have the CD's but the original Album sleeves are something else

Postscript - the glass-half-full Paddington hopes the last category have a rescue trick up their collective sleeve. The glass-half-empty one doesn't think they do.

DTB atm reminds me of bald men fighting over a comb...

Thanks DD, Trigs. Proper songs, properly recorded - like we did for the pub quiz. But I’d probably expect half of them to be come wall art :)

By definition, any elected organisation will end up being run by those who are good at getting elected, whether that coincides with the most able people will be purely a matter of chance.

You see the calibre of person when you tie them in a knot of their own logic and they respond by no longer responding.

I think they are as diverse as us on here, Trig. Some are undoubtedly intoxicated by their status in opposition boardrooms, the less able of them, perhaps. Others are intoxicated by their status as part of the current political movement holding sway, the Stasi tendency, if you will. Others, more modestly, are tending their CVs. Some (one, maybe) just enjoy power full-stop. A couple baffle me. Very successful in life. Not egotistical. Not, I think, long-term fans. They are probably the people who baffle you too. I really don't believe that they are dishonest.

I suspect that certain of the DTB members quite enjoy the kudos of being treated like a football club owner without having to actually do the hard slog of putting up their own money to fund the club- they are hardly going to welcome either outsiders wanting to gatecrash the party or people pointing out that, financially at least, the whole edifice is built on foundations of sand. … might as well enjoy the ride while it lasts.

Unanswered question for me mad… why? Why have these people behaved like this? Is it the intoxication of status? These people don’t have huge egos they are strange folk at best. So why do this? Ideology? Money?

Doobs needs one of them blue Peter charity thermometer 🌡 😂

Spot on Nick! At last. This place worries about censorship/post deletion and trust appeasement, people worrying about the constitution miniature, bit of side issue me calling out a 'consultant' of the trust.....we will be skint in 4 months and a January fire sale beckons. No one wants to talk about the pending cash crises as we dance around the trust dicking Shane, their silence and poxy proxy votes!!!

If the boards are willing to ignore the new constitution as much as they have done the old one at times it becomes irrelevant whether it’s digestible or otherwise.

I shall be sending the Trust quite a lot of comments on the new Constitution. But, imperfections aside, credit where credit's due - its a much more digestible document than the current Constitution.

Doobs: Great idea. I'd buy one. Quirky and fun. (No doubt unlistenable, but who cares?)

Having this big debate about the constitution does feel bizarrely ill-timed at this point. I wonder how long a time lag there will be between a new constitution being put in place and it becoming irrelevant as we tip into administration?
