Just when we had hoped that some football would break out and relieve us all from the monotony of board room politics at the Wessex Stadium. Jack Frost (not the one of telly played by Del Boy) comes along and kills our fun.
If you are by any chance reading this in York before setting off towards the south coast. Don't bother the match is off. Rubbish!
What this does do is give me a bit of time to launch the latest (and greatest) TerrasBlog competition.
As mentioned on the blog yesterday, the TerrasBlog online store is celebrating its relaunch by offering you, the readers, a chance to design a product for sale.
TerrasBlog has always been famous for selling Steve Claridge boxer shorts a few years ago but the undies we want in the store now could be your design.
Have a look at the image above and using MS paint or any other design software, come up with a Jpeg to fit on the bottom half of one side of the shorts. About 8cm square (or 3 inches for the oldies)
Once you have it designed, sent it over to jimmythecuckoo@hotmail.com with you name and address and you will be entered in the competition.
Prize will be the first crisp new pair of white pants off the production line.
I am giving you a bit of time to get your thinking caps on (but remember you can't use copyrighted material) so the closing date is the end of January.
Good luck and may the best pants win!

And so season 2008/09 is off to a winning start away from home and in Europe.
I say Europe because Portland is a bit off shore, and whilst yes I accept that it is connected to the UK by a causeway I think that the French probably think they are going overseas when they go to the Mt. San Michel. Maybe.
Anyhow I am sticking with it as I always thought our rare wins against Newport Isle of Wight were European victories so there. Argue if you want, but my logic is sound!
My man at the match isn't answering his phone yet this morning but I can stick with the facts I know and that is...
Portland United 0-4 Weymouth (The scorers I think were Dubois 2, Beavon, Sandwidth)
Of course the real tests lie a lot further down the track and history will show us that a decent pre-season for this club usually means a terrible season, but i am staying positive.
It would be nice to think that we can have it all this campaign. And I did dream that Chris McPhee became the first player to score the winning goal in consecutive seasons for different clubs in the FA Trophy.
Beaver got the second against a below par York Side.
My dreams don't usually come true but its worth keeping an eye out!
Ok, thats all for this morning. Keep the Beat the Blogger entries coming in... I want to see your holiday snaps!!!! (not those ones)
