So England Hockey have an announced a new GMS system, yea fabulous news! Well maybe not...

So there I was on Tuesday, casually doing my work, and you know being all health and safety conscious, mustn’t electrocute myself (top tip).

But my phone was having its own battle with Spond notifications. Every five minutes I was getting a message, which is very awkward when you’re working in a customer's house who have no power, and all they hear is the ting from my phone. They must have thought I was very popular. But Alas it was Adam, Neil, Matt, Joe, Rob, and most importantly Jan, all messaging each other about how good England Hockey have been at setting this up.

So I told Vera the customer that I needed to pop to the wholesalers and pick up parts. Now I jumped in the van a drove down the road five minutes and pulled out my phone in a popular layby. Walla [can't figure out what George was going for here, and I can't fix everything, so ideas in the comments please], I was free to have a look at this excellent website myself, so I followed Neil's instructions to the tee, and the website didn't work. Then opened the M3's WhatsApp and boy oh boy did everyone have their own opinions on this and how it should work. One of my favourite comment was [redacted]. Me being me [redacted]. Good plan right?

Anyway at this point I got a phone call from my boss saying "Vera is a bit cold without her power," and "how long will you take to get back with the parts." I hit the van in reverse, and then the website responded! So I told him there was quite a big queue and I’ll be right back. Anyway that's the story of me signing up for GMS.

The hockey went well, Blair scored twice, and we had complete control of the game with 90% possession. We looked amazing, a top-notch outfit. But unfortunately in the last seven minutes, things didn't go right. People got pushed over left, right, and centre, apparently by me. Teas was quite interesting, ever had baked beans on a cake?
