Secret resales 2015

[Legs]

Does anyone have a resale whatsapp group on the go to send out notifications when it's live?

Sorry, very late to the sneaky resale game! An old friend suddenly declared he's back in the country and has enlisted my help.

Didn't we have someone a couple of days ago saying they knew someone in See who said it was going to be today? Was that debunked or we still hanging on that?

shiftyp9 had a tip off that it would be today...

I can only imagine how you feel MJ. Us that have tickets are flapping so it must be a a million times worse for you all that don't. 

I'm trying to stay strong, I really am!

It's a matter of seconds when it happens - a group will be too slow

If it's not today, does anybody think it will be the weekend?? Sale and resale are at the weekend, now secret resale is getting as big... there is no pattern but everyone suggesting week day!? 

Can't see it being the weekend but you never know I suppose.

Absolutely nothing, not a single ping

Someone made a knob gag... or someone's knob made me gag.

I'm delirious

I've been lurking as well. Need to get one ticket for my wife - got 4 in the resale for our group of 5 and she was the unlucky one (and my popularity took a dive). Got the checkpage ready to go. Good luck everyone!

 

Jon, I am doing the same. Trying to get one for my husband and his mate.
We had 10 people, 4 girls and 6 lads to get tickets for. My friend got through in the first sale and bought just the 4 tickets for the girls as she didn't know which of the 5 lads to buy a ticket for along with my husband.

So I am hoping to get him a ticket, otherwise I might be in the dog house too!

I'm still so convinced that the scrum is coming this afternoon. But then again, I was convinced it was coming on Wednesday. And Thursday.

It HAS to come this week - I can't face going into a new week like this!

 

And I'll probably get sacked!

Yes this is what I wonder as well.  I believe in the past it has always been a weekday but then it could be anytime.  Could be 3am on Sunday morning.  Anything to fuck with our minds I think.

Help me.....

[Hopeful1]

I'm so used to behaving like a performing monkey pressing a couple of keys with my digit finger that I won't know what to do if they change the page 

[lobo]

As soon as they go on sale and panic sets in...

Even Craig David couldn't chill on a Sunday under this stress.

This is living hell. Seetickets are really playing with us now. So many hours wasted this week waiting and waiting.

There's one hour today between 3 and 4 where I can't be at the laptop. It's sods law that as soon as I walk away from it they go on sale.

I just remember so much 'ping' activity last year. Have the checkers just become more refined to mute the unnecessary noise?

It really is intense - it reminds me of another time:

 

It was April 12th 2003 on an eerily still chilly night in the Karbala desert, and although we didn't realise at the time, Gulf War 2 was entering its final phases. I had been attached to D Squadron 22 Para Tactical Infiltration Unit (TIU) to assist in 'Operation Blend-Out'. The Revolutionary Guard had wised up to traditional infiltration tactics and realised that whilst our Brit beards may be thick, long and wirey... our skin tough and leathery, and that our dish-dashes worn and dirty, that this was simply a ruse in order to blend in to the local population.

High Command had passed down the orders to double bluff the enemy, and play them at their own game. A plan was hatched that could have only been divised by a fox, a cunning cunning fox. We were to do the exact reverse of what the enemy expected, and dress and act completely differently to the population. The technique of 'blending-out' would serve to confuse the enemy and in their moment of hesitance, we would strike with the precision of a cobra and the force of a raging bull.

Wozza was smoking like a chimney as he dealt the cards to the men. He always carried a deck of 52 where ever he went and took every opportunity to shark someone at Poker. I had never much cared for poker, Gin Rummie was my game and winning was in my blood. My father had once won 3 straight games against the hardest man in Rhyll, and I knew where I was going where Rummie was concerned. Poker always attracted dolts and cowards, however these men were anything but. Wozza glanced over with a menacing smirk "What's wrong you big girl? You got sore side-b00b or something?". That was it, he'd thrown down the gauntlet and I wasn't about to be made to look like a girl in front of Her Majesty's finest.

"Deal me in and wipe that remtarded look off your face, you tw@t" I said with an air of cool confidence. Inside, I was bricking it and knew I was sailing close to the wind with that one!

The hand came in and I immediately swapped three cards - bang, Full House. It was as if the moon had watched the play and taken a sharp intake of breath. A sudden breeze blew, and ended as quickly as it had begun. I knew that I had them exactly where I wanted them, and all my concentration was bent on taking them for everything I could. I dramatically raised a single eyebrow, and attempted the sort of look that screams "Balls - I got jack all going here!".

I nonchalantly let my gaze lift upward so I could take in their reactions. I had expected the odd smirk, the knowing look... but nothing. These guys were good. These guys were very very good! In a moment of desparation, I let out an audible guff and waited a few seconds for the putrid scent to pervade the night air. I almost gagged but the men just sat there - stone faced. Not a glimmer of a reaction from a single man. These men were trained, and had earned the right to be admitted to an elite regiment... and by God did it show at that moment. They were the top of the class at the school of hard-@ss mothers.

The last I remember, I retreated into the dark night with a whimper and sense of complete shame which engulfs me to this day.
