What's in a team name

No.1: Two points, two flats and a packet of gravel - Ian Kennett

I asked around again to see what an earth possesses some of you to name the teams the way you do. I'll start of with early season N&R Div 1 leader Ian Kennett for the first of the series.

We've had Goliath's Big Brother, Nortius Maximus and the Wody Webels, Who are you calling Big Nose, He's not the Messiah he's a very naughty boy, Blessed are the cheesemakers, Incontinentia Buttocks and now Two points, two flats and a packet of gravel.

For you film buffs or at least Monty Python fans, then you will have guessed that Ian is a huge fan of what he describes as the best film ever made - The Life of Brian.

For this year's team name the reference Ian uses is from a scene before the stoning, Brians mother (played by Terry Jones) is buying some stones and asks for 'Two points, two flats, and a packet of gravel' and it is a simple as that but bloody annoying when I have to keep typing it!

I'm leaning towards "Okay, sir, my final offer: half a shekel for an old ex-leper" for next season!
