New 3rd Team Captain



At last weeks AGM Rob Aplin was officially confirmed as 3rd team captain for next season with Mike Phillips his vice captain (Both shown above). Rob's experience includes captaining the coin operated boats at Bude Caravan Park.

It is also believed that Mike Phillips ancestors captained the Spanish Armada and the Titanic. Mike claims to know the difference between an iceberg in the sea and a Rock on a rugby field - The iceberg moves faster !

Former 3rd team captain Peter Thompson who went to watch the Titanic leave port in 1912 but missed it because he had to be home by 7.30pm welcomed the news of Rob and Mike's appointment.

Hard working school teacher Thomo (His words not mine!) wished Rob and Mike his best wishes for the forthcoming season and then went on about how much teachers deserve their long school holidays.

What about all those INSET days as well, more like " In The Pub days "

Wivey secret superhero Bananaman speaking on behalf of the Wivey 3rds fan club commented " Credit to Rob and Mike but they are no Ivor Biggun."

"Like Bananaman, Ivor has great superpowers and he has the ‘equipment' of an elephant unike Mike an Rob - yeah, I looked in the showers once - but you should really ask Catwoman if you want the down and dirté on that aspect of his superpower. I'll say no more…"

Most young people in Wivey spend their lives drunk.


Figures published today have shown that most 17-25 year olds in Wivey spend their lives drunk.




"This is a terrible state of affairs", said a young person spokesperson Andy Ware. "I remember the days when I spent the weekend whacked off my brain on other things apart from just alcohol. I think they are mad to put all their eggs in one basket. They should try to spread their substance abuse about a bit more to prevent addiction to one thing."


Doctors have said that the rise in alcopops and sweet cider encourage young people to drink. A spokesman for the campaign for under age drinking tried to tell us that this was rubbish but instead told us that we were his best mates and would we like some of his kebab.


After presenting the picture above as evidence to Macyla Aplin she claimed

"Well they do say I take after my father! And I'm not admitting to being a lightweight, I just had a hard game that day!"






Here we see Martina Aplin using the latest youth drinking accessory. This useful drink and sickness spilage device can be used to pevent staining of clothing after consumption of too much alcohol.

Police chiefs have said that most of their officers have found more than 100% of arrests are of youngsters driving whilst under the influence."They're always pissed and stoned and most of them are dealers but we are planning to crackdown on these rogue officers" said a member of the Wiveliscombe Constabulary.

Qualified Energy Inspector


With just days to go before the start of the Government's phased implementation of Home Information Packs their future has again been thrown into doubt.
The crisis has arisen because there is still only one qualified energy assessor to cover the entire Taunton Deane area.

Alexander Keay, a former 2CV and mini driver from Wiveliscombe has qualified in energy assessment by passing the strict written test of writing out a cheque for £500 to an internet-based training firm.

Mr Keay is well know to television audiences for his frequent appearances on the Granada series "House of Horrors" where with a mate fails to notice minor faults in electrical and plumbing appliances and they charge the homeowner a bundle for unnecessary repairs.

He told the Wivey3rds website "That was all when me and a mate were doing refurbishments, but they wouldn't register us for the Corgi so I became a estate agent until the Government come up with this new way for me to fleece the public."

Asked how he could possibly cover the whole of tis area on his own he was equally dismissive, "New homes is gonna get the green light and old one's the red. It's that easy mate, five minutes in and out job and name me own price. I really don't even have to go inside, except when there's a cuppa on offer."

Man Arrested Picking Nose Whilst Driving

A man was arrested yesterday evening for picking his nose whilst driving. Michael Phillips, 45, was driving along a quiet residential street in his hometown of Wiveliscombe, in his Audi TT. Sensing his nose was feeling a 'little full' he decided to excavate said nose with his little finger and squeeze a couple of spots.

"That was when I saw the blue lights suddenly flare up in my rear-view mirror," said Mr Phillips. "I stopped the car and asked them if there was a problem. They pulled me out of the car, threw me against the bonnet and charged me for dangerous driving."
A police spokesperson said, "It is imperative the public learn the importance of paying attention to the road whilst driving. Mr Phillips should have pulled over and picked his nose whilst he was able to devote his full attention to it. He could have caused an accident had he lost his concentration for a split second."

Mr Phillips was due up in court to face charges next month but has now paid an on the spot fine.

Captain Pegwash and her pirates held a council of war

Captain Pegwash was a pirate of the high seas who commanded the Black Cat. She was the hero of many tales of bravery and daring. As she would tell you herself, her ruthless cunning made her a daunting enemy, and the name of the Black Cat (or pussy) was enough to strike fear into the heart of any sea-faring captain.

"Plundering Porpoises! Jumping jellyfish! Harrowing hurricanes!" blustered pirate Captain Pegwash to the work-shy crew of her ship, the Black Pussy as they sailed the Seven Seas and encountered adventures. The busty Captain. always bold before the event, with a tendency to get into scrapes (and make a speedy exit forthwith).




The Good Captain, and her crew (above) Big Willy Warmer, Master Bates, Hugh Harse, were simple pirates and no match for their various shiver-me-timbers foes but fortunately they were regularly rescued from the clutches of black-bearded arch villain Cut-Throat Rawlings (of the 'Flying Dustman') by the cunning and courage of the Black Pussy's, Roger the Cabin Boy'

Here in her latest adventure we see Captain Pegwash with Seaman Staines after her latest encounter with Cut-throat Rawlings who was camped in the old Persian fort with the greatest chest in Wivey ladies history.

Wivey's Ambassador for Stirring Up Trouble


After being ignored in the Queens birthday honours list Ivor Biggun has accepted an offer by the United Nations to be the newly created Ambassador for Stirring Up Trouble in Wiveliscombe and the rest of the UK, it has been disclosed.

Mr. Bigun narrowly beat other candidates former Wivey 3rds player John Darlow, Tony Lockyer and 'Complete Twat' Mike Phillips. A member of the Interview Panel said:"We were particularly impressed at Mr. Bigguns's wide and varied credentials in the field of stirring up trouble. With Mr Lockyer we actually lost count of how many fights he has started so had to disqualify him. Although we considered Mr. Darlow, he simply didn't come close. We felt that he didn't really Stir Up enough Trouble, was too ginger and had gone too soft. As for Mr.Phillips, well, it was a close call between him and Mr. Biggun. Mr. Phillips has Stirred Up a lot of small troubles but never finishes what he starts."

A beaming Ivor biggun later emerged from the Rugby club toilets in Wiveliscombe and said "I am proud to receive this honour and distinction, and particularly proud that these accolades fall on a Wivey person. I have also done my best to Stir Up Trouble on behalf of my country and hope to continue to be able to do so."



As Ambassador for Stirring Up Trouble, Mr. Biggun is likely to be kept posted on events in Wivey's Basra (Kingsmead Close) in Southern Wiveliscombe, and has been reported as offering to arrange to have large concentric circles to be painted on the roof of the worst properties.

Sheep 'Flu Epidemic Is Sweeping The Welsh Valleys

Ooooh...those Welshmen!

A recent outbreak in Wales of, what was thought to be H5N1 Bird 'Flu, has, in fact, turned out to be rather less sinister, and has mystified Health officials in the area.

Local medical experts say Sheep Flu has spread like wildfire in the valleys, with more than 7000 reported cases in the last two weeks.

"These are the first recorded cases of Sheep Flu in this part of the world", said vet Dai Davies, adding "it's almost unknown outside Brompton Ralph. The virus is thought to be the non-fatal W001 strain, and it can only be contracted by "extreme intimacy"

Farmer Huw Chaser, who used to be a shepherd before he developed a liking for bigger cattle, said he'd had the 'flu, but that he was now better."My thingy doesn't itch anymore, Boyo, and the rash has all but cleared up. "

Mr Chaser also claimed that the illness was quite common in many parts of Wales , and that sufferers were more than willing to put up with the discomfort, for the pleasure it brought them.
"I keep all my sheep indoors nowadays, in the bedroom. When you have them at such close quarters, you're bound to get a few sniffles and snuffles, aren't you?"

Welsh health officials have warned the public against complacency, and have issued a statement telling potential sufferers of Sheep 'Flu to lock up their herds, and to see a doctor immediately.

Roderick Morgan, from the Royal St David's Animal Fondness Hospital in Carmarthen, said:"In some cases it can be quite nasty. The sheep don't seem to mind, but it's best to leave the fleecy little darlings alone for a while."

Bob the Bodger! "Can he f*** it?"

Wiveliscome TV have remade an episode of the classic kids series aimed at young children that originally followed the adventures of an odd-job man.Welcome to the world of Wivey's Bob the Bodger! With their chorus of "Can he f*** it?" "Yes, he can!" Bob and his loveable gang, drink together, laugh together, play together, quarrel and make up and just do their best to muddle through. Just like kids everywhere.



Their world is imaginative and filled with fun and adventure - a unique world of instruction mayhem and chaos, that comes complete with modern gadgets like mobile phones, remote controls and beer pumps!

In this episode we see the mischievous scarecrow "Spud" Piercey, who loiters around always up to no good, undermining the gang's hard work watching from his window when he ought to be helping.

The rest of the gang, Andy "Roley" Harvey, Del "Lofty" Evans, Heather "Dizzy" Harvey and Pete "Travis Tractor" Kirk remain at the refuelling depot looking after "bird"Tawny Owl in the cellar.

But between them, despite the mix ups, muddles and mayhem, buildings get built, constructions get constructed, and things get well and truly f****d...

Dame Edna Broome

Here we see Martin Broome's impersonation, providing you with an incredible lookalike / soundalike tribute to Dame Edna for any occasion. He is available for private events and parties; corporate entertainment, marketing campaigns and product launches; as well as film, television, radio, and commercials. Many people suggest though that he should be incarcerated in a maximum-security twilight home for the insane with that hairdo.

Dame Steptoe is revered for his insights into Wivey rugby. When asked why Wivey 3rds have had a good season he commented "Good food and diet; open air life; alcohol; women and the total absence of any kind of intellectual distraction. Look at Mike Phillips for a start !"

Sir Lesley Colin Patterson is a Dame Steptoe Broomes alter ego. Lecherous and offensive, this farting, belching, nose-picking figure of excess is an Wiveliscombe Falstaff.

Affectionately known as "Worzel" 0r "Steptoe", he has served Wivey 3rds in many roles from hooker to flanker.His humour abounds in such a wide range of stereotypes. Let face it with hair like that you must have a sense of humour.

Wiveliscombe's Minister for Sport with special responsibility to keep sports rampantly heterosexual and "blokey" have commented " Dame Broome abstract girly hairstyle has caused us a few problems, but he still has hair unlike many other wivey 3rds team players."

Dame Broome is ably assisted by his Eggy Broome shown below.


I hear Eggy boasts of his prowess with women and his trips to Wellington's "rub and tug shops".

He jokes that "the best place to hide something from his a father is under a bar of soap". He also represents Wivey Colts, but I hasten to add not in court they get legal aid for that.

Wivey's rising wave of teenage drinking

Young people are drinking more now than they used to. Studies have shown that young people in Wivey are drinking more per drinking session and having more sessions per week than they did ten years ago.

Chief Inspector Dick Head of the Wiveliscombe Constabulary said "We are seizing increasing amounts of alcohol from underage people. We have powers to seize alcohol from young people, and we can dispose of it as we see fit when we get it home".

"It is illegal to sell alcohol to anyone under the age of 18, but more and more young people seem to be getting into trouble with their drinking.We're trying to educate people. However, we find that parents can sometimes be the problem. "

Youngsters in Wiveliscombe now look up to their role models Andy Ware, Stuart Norman and Daryl Smith. Drinking alcohol in moderation is not usually a problem. It can become a problem when heavy drinking and drunkenness become frequent and this style of use is continued into later life. Normally, as people get older, their responsibilities increase and their alcohol use goes down.


What amount is safe to drink? About two pints if your Mike Phillips at the Dinner and Dance !

According to the Department of Health men should not drink more than three to four units of alcohol a day, and women should drink no more than two to three. These benchmarks apply whether you drink every day, once or twice a week, or occasionally. Twice the recommended amount and beyond is classed as 'binge' drinking. Although national figures suggest that binge drinking is slightly in decline except in the Bear Wiveliscombe, it is very much on the rise among young people. The current licensing laws mean that people mean will have more hours to drink at pubs and clubs.

Crazy laws around the world

According to an ancient law, it’s OK to shoot a Welsh person with a bow and arrow – as long as you’re inside the city walls and it’s after 12pm. But where? Chester.

So if you’re Welsh - or even if you look it - watch your back late at night in Chester.

Comment:- Think this law should be extended to the rest of the country

Most places would arrest you for being drunk in possession of a car – but in Scotland extends this to being drunk in possession of a cow?

So don’t take your cow to the pub north of the border – however tempted you may be

Comment:- Never take the wife on a distilery holiday tour of Scotland

We’ve all heard of the fashion police – but in Australia is it actually illegal to wear bright pink trousers

In the Australian state of Victoria, don’t even think about donning a pair of “hot pink pants” outside - especially after midday on a Sunday.


Comment:- Jimmy avoid Australia for your next holiday

If your house is on fire but you’re peckish while you wait for the fire brigade, don’t have a snack in the US city of Chicago or you could be up for arrest. But which one?


It’s forbidden to eat in a place that’s on fire in the Windy City – so watch out next time you ask for a flame-grilled burger.

Antwerp has banned people from wearing a red hat and walking down the main street? (We can only guess it’s an attempt to improve its sartorial standing.)

So expect to see only blue, black, white, green, yellow or purple headwear on the streets of Antwerp (what about Santa?).



Comment:- Could Santa get down the Chimney?

Al Boredo take hostages

Terrorist from the group Al Boredo fighting for longer school holidays for school teachers have kidnapped fifty women drivers from Wiveliscombe and taken them hostage. The man behind this plot are thought to be the terrorist group leader Burin Bastardedo, and his deputies El Span Kum and Tumuch Timeoff (Pictured below).


Chief Inspector Dick Head of the local constabulary warned these men are known to be dangerous and can bore a classroom unconscious in minutes.

A spokesman from this group demanded a 10 million pound ransom fee, longer school holidays, chocolate biscuits in the staffroom and for anyone caught calling them boring to face the ultimate punishment which is to be forced to live in Wales.

If their demands are not met they are threatening to release one women driver hostage every hour on the hour from noon tomorrow until the ransom money is paid.

Crocodile Aplin

We can now exclusively reveal that Rob Aplin has been participating in the Australian reality program I'm A Camper Get Me Out Of Here (IACGMOOH).

To pay for this trip he has apparently he been collecting together all his air miles acquired of a Saturday afternoon.

We understand that he did a ' Bushtucker Trial' eating crocodile and kangaroo but said his biggest challenge was being stuck for hours driving a car across Australia the morning after his mate Lawrence had eaten a strong curry and having to use the ' dunny ' after him.

Said Rob " My bushtucker trial was nothing really, remember I have food after a 3rd team game at the rugby club "

His next ' Bushtucker Challenge' will be to have more that 5 pints after a game on a Saturday and not turn into a jibbering romantic wreck.

Club-themed funeral for Portsmouth fans

An undertaker is offering Portsmouth football fans a club-themed funeral.

Part of the £1,795 package includes a coffin painted in the club's blue-and-white colours.
The funeral cortege drives past Pompey's Fratton Park ground and mourners the option of a wake at the stadium.

According to the funeral director Lee Fletcher, 36, said: "This is a modern option for loyal supporters and I think both of them will like the idea. Many fans have died of boredom watching Pompey , its more dangerous than being on the touchline of a Wivey Ladies game"

Local pompey fan Omar Rawlings is yet to make a comment.

Hand over wife to pay debt

A Romanian man has handed over his wife to a creditor as payment for his debts.

Emil Iancu, gave his wife Daniela to 72-year-old Jozef Justien Lostrie when he turned up on his doorstep to collect a £1,800 debt.

Iancu said: "I had no money to pay the debt and when I told Lostrie he said he would take my wife instead.I was scared of what he would do and so I signed a document saying Daniela would live with him."


But Daniela says the deal has proved better for her."Before I had to clean the house and look after our three children on my own, while Emil did nothing, but now I'm treated like a guest and hardly have to raise a finger," she said.

"I hear than many husbands in Wiveliscombe, England have tried to give away their wives to pay off debts but have instead had their debt cancelled and been piad money if they promise to keep them!"

Counting Pizza


Whilst in the Bear last weekend I observed Martin Broom ordering a large pizza to take home. He appeared to be alone and the bar staff asked him if he would like it cut into 4 pieces or 6.

He thought about it for some time before responding. "Just cut it into 4 pieces. I don't think I'm hungry enough to eat 6 pieces."

Dead Bird

During a stoppage in the Wellington game Mike Phillips shouted.... "Look at that dead bird!" All the Wellington forwards looked up at the sky and said..."where???"

The Good Samaritan

A Good Samaritan taxi driver who allowed three people injured in a car accident with a Wivey female driver to shelter from from the cold in his cab was left counting the cost - after emergency services destroyed the taxi to 'rescue' the trio.

Chinese cabbie Doin Me Lip Stick, 45, from Wiveliscombe said: 'They had a few cuts and bruises and I let them shelter in my cab. They looked worse than they were.

'I went off to look at the wreck and when the Wivey firemen turned up, they pulled out hydraulic metal cutters and sliced the side off the cab.'

'They said it meant they could get the people out without them having to bend too much, in case of neck injuries. They didn't realise they only had to open the door.'

The taxi driver is now in dispute with his insurance company, who do not believe his story over the reason for the repair bill.

Breast Boosting Beer

European men are flocking to Bulgaria to buy 'breast-boosting beer' after EU accession led to customs duties on the drink being abolished.
The millet-ale called Boza which is made from fermented wheat flour and yeast is being snapped up by bar owners, shopkeepers and shoppers from across Europe.They are said to be keen for their wives and girlfriends to benefit from its reported ability to make breasts grow.

Austrian landlord Klaus Schmidt from a Austrian ski resort said he was planning another trip soon.

He added: "I got some Boza before but it was always so expensive once the tax was added. But now that's gone I'm going to start offering the drink to my après-ski customers. I first sold some to a party of School teachers from Taunton and Mr Thompson purchased a whole crate.He said it was for his wife and I could obviously see that he did not need it himself."

Wivey Fire Fighters Video



Wivey Fire engine recently attended a chimney fire at the Bear Inn . Upon arrival they were escorted by the bar staff to the biggest supply of water which was the beer in the cellar.

Hours later they emerged from the cellar and by that time the fire was already out and fortunately Andy Ware remained undisturbed

Ball Skills


Here we see Ross Porter showing the importance of ball skills as Charlotte Phillips jumps in the lineout to catch the ball.

When the number of times the ball is handled during a match is considered it would seem to be impossible to over-emphasize the importance of ball handling skills. Strangely, however, these skills are virtually ignored by most of Wivey 3rd team. This doesn't mean that they don't regularly use handling drills in their training sessions, of course. The problem is that the drills they use don't work. Handling doesn't just simply improve.

Good rugby players develop a mystical relationship with their balls. They all know what it will do. This is neither second-sight nor luck -- it is total familiarity! This approach also requires that you have sufficient balls to make sure everyone can participate

Test Driver


Pint sized Martini Aplin recently turned down the opportunity to become a test driver for Scalextric to become a trainee hairdresser.A spokesperson for Scalextric commented " We are very disappointed our models are getting more and more realistic and she would have been ideal for this position and as far as I know you can not be charged for being drunk in charge of a model car.

We are though still considering bringing out a stunt version of Scalextric which will be based on avoiding the extreme parking of female drivers in Wiveliscombe "

Wellington Hurricane Appeal

A major hurricane (Hurricane Rob) and earthquake measuring 5.8 on the Richter Scale hit Wellington in the early hours of Tuesday with its epicentre in Rockwell Green.The hurricane decimated the area causing approximately £30 worth of damage. Several priceless collections of mementos from Majorca and the Costa Del Sol were damaged beyond repair.

Three areas of historic burnt out cars were disturbed. Many locals were woken well before their giros arrived. Welly FM reported that hundreds of residents were confused and bewildered and were still trying to come to terms with the fact that something interesting had happened in Wellington

One resident - Tracy Smith, a 15-year-old mother of 5 said, "It was such a shock, my little Chardonnay-Mercedes came running into my bedroom crying. The noise nearly made me crap in my knickers but then I remembered that I had left them in the toilet of the King Arms last night."

Apparently looting, muggings and car crime were unaffected and carried on as normal.

The British Red Cross has so far managed to ship 4,000 crates of Sunny Delight to the area to help the stricken locals. Rescue workers are still searching through the rubble and have found large quantities of personal belongings, including benefit books, jewellery from Elizabeth Duke at Argos and Bone China from Poundland.

HOW CAN YOU HELP?
This appeal is to raise money for food and clothing parcels for those unfortunate enough to be caught up in this disaster. Clothing is most sought after - items most needed include:

Kappa tracksuit tops (his and hers)
Shell suits (female)
Clean overalls
Red trainers
Any other items usually sold in Primark..

Food parcels may be harder to come by, but are needed all the same.Required foodstuffs include:

Microwave meals, Tins of baked beans, Ice cream, Cans of Colt 45 or Special Brew. £2 buys chips, crisps and blue fizzy drinks for a family of 9 and £5 buys B&H and a lighter to calm the nerves of those affected.

22p buys a biro for filling in the compensation forms.

Please don't forward this to anyone living in Wellington - oh, sod it, they won't be able to read it, anyway.

New Bear Bar Staff


Rumours that Andy from the Bear was holding a recruitment drive for bar staff last Sunday are yet to be confirmed.

Interview panel Mr Evans and Mr Ware suggested the standard of applicant was very high after 8 pints of Eagle and that the applicants had bigger breasts and less facial hair than the present bar staff.(Apart from the landlord anyway !!)

Seriously well done to everyone from the town who ran three miles around the surrounding villages to raise money for Breast Cancer Care.

A barbecue was provided afterwards by The Bear Inn and enjoyed by all including Wivey Fire Brigade who were there in case of an emergency.
