Excuses

Come on, we've all done it. Milko's prompted this one with this extract of a post today :

I don't like making excuses, but....

I looked at the fast flowing river & it made me dizzy. ;D ;)

It was raining & water got in my eyes. ;D ;)

I thought a bulb was out on the table, but it wasn't, so I couldn't see anything for 40 min's. ;D ;)

The wife wore me out over xmas.........doing all the chores. ;D ;)

My mate Ian Moss was marking & wouldn't stop talking, so made the balls deviate from the holes. ;D ;)

It was so hot in the club the chalk wouldn't stay on my tip. ;D ;)

The curtain was open and a car went past and put me off. ;D ;)

The football was on and Oxford scored after 5 games of not scoring, the shock was too much. ;D ;)

So what's your best excuse for losing a vital game ?

My own offering, when stuffed out of sight by about 30k by Phil Collins over two legs in the W/Champs (Jersey) Plate last month was :
"If I'd got through I'd have had to play again immediately afterwards and we'd have missed our dinner"

Well, it made Katie laugh, anyway. ;D
