I'll take a stiff Jack and Coke, easy on the ice.
That made me chuckle...Quote:

He pushed the double, heavy oak doors aside and they swung open easily before him, a glint of sunlight flashing on the polished brass ‘MEN ONLY’ signs pinned to each door. The expensive scent of a layer of smoke that hung in the air drifted past as he made his way through the small groups of men, a few in animated conversation, others leaning back languidly, reading the broadsheets or deeply engrossed in some leather bound volume. Others watched, enthralled, the gladiatorial unfolding of a brutal team sport on the wide screen television that hung above the bar between two trophies, huge mounted marlins. There was an air of comfortable assurance about these men, easy in the company of their own sex. Surrounded as they were by the portraits of other men who had shaped the world, that hung everywhere in gilt frames on the panelled walls. Expensive bourbons, whiskeys and foreign beers littered the small tables in crystal glasses and tumblers. As he reached the bar he quickly caught the eye of the one barmaid serving drinks. He made sure to notice the name on the small plastic badge pinned to the chest of her blouse and asked the girl to make sure she put the ice in his glass before the single-malt whisky he had ordered. The girl did as she was asked and as she prepared his drink he made his way to the large humidor at the end of the bar. He picked out a fat, freshly made cigar, instinctively knowing it had been rolled only days before on the glistening thigh of a bronzed eighteen year old Cuban virgin. He put it under his nose and took in the rich, deep satisfying aroma and slowly made his way over to a worn, comfortable-looking red leather armchair and settled down into it. He clipped the end of the cigar, and - taking a match from the silver holder on the table in front of him – struck it on the chin of a brutish looking fellow in a nearby chair, before puffing the cigar into life. An uneasy tension spread about the room, broken only by the swift movement of the barmaid as she slipped lithely between the tables and placed his drink by his side. “Thank you ‘Lostprincess13’” he said, through thickening cigar smoke. “My pleasure ‘Michael T’” she replied smiling back at him. “And may I say… welcome to the Blokes' thread on this forum”.

I gave up smoking Cuban cigars when I discovered that their being rolled on the thighs of eighteen-year-old virgins was a myth.Quote:

The game where one team can put together brilliant move after brilliant move, driving possession downfield to score 5 points, then 3 minutes later, watch the opposition score three after being penalised because the tighthead prop put his hand on the ground?
The game which still bans padding in its rules, but has 100% of its international players wearing padding?
Is that the one? I've played that once or twice.
:D
How could you not side with the Aussies? Jeez, they're your spirit brothers!Quote:

I believe Association Football has been permitted here from time to time. Some years back, one of the footmen's grandsons was competing in quite a large competition. Played just over the other side of London, in Wembley, as it happens. Mid May, I think it was. No idea what it was all about, but an awful lot of people seemed very happy that young Southall's team won.Quote:

Let us not argue over the relative merits of Rugby ,Association Football or Cricket, which mean little to our transatlantic cousins, and concentrate on the two greatest sports that encompass both sides of the Atlantic and the Pacific;namely, tennis and golf; which happen to be my own preferred sporting endeavours. I would suggest that the club installs television for the American PGA/Open and Ryder Cup tournaments and also the Wimbledon grass court championships.
Is golf really a sport? I never knew that . . .
How about the western sport of rodeo? THAT is a man's game.
Golf? might as well be discussing Cricket.
:lol: Yay golf! Let us go watch the grass grow.Quote:

Anything that dishes out a good bruising and a few broken bones works for me. I enjoy the UFC quite a bit, but boxing will work.
I think someone should be shooting paintballs at the golfers.

I used to love rugby, but since the game's gone professional, it's died as far as I'm concerned - at the senior level anyway. I still coach the school team, but the players and administrators of the game are a bunch of things I can't adequately describe in here.Quote:

I consider myself privileged to have been alive long enough to vividly remember wagging (playing truant) from high school to watch Ali vs Foreman, which I watched again two days ago. Alas, a lot like rugby, boxing has had its share of troubles and is often nowadays a joke. Multiple champions across weight divisions measured in milligrams....
There are still the odd good bouts I'll watch, but I'm pretty selective.
Now, ice hockey, I do have a problem with. If you could cut the pansy fights out and play the damned game, it might actually be a good sport, but the kindergarten staged fights they have every 15 seconds or so just drives me off it.
Don't let the other members hear it, but I'm quite fond of baseball!
Touche, my friend. You know more about my favorite sport's history than I.Quote:

It's Rugby, Golf, Boxing, and Rodeo wrapped up into one...(well, maybe not the rodeo) :lol:
Silas mentioned hockey!
Yes, bulls are a little clumsy in skates and the horses would spook every time someone tackled them. Not to mention the constant cleanup of manure off the ice. That would get out of hand, having to pause the game every twenty minutes, get out the wheelbarrows and poop forks . . .
Since there are no REAL men here (and by real, I mean Canadian), I'll throw in that Hockey is by far a better sport than all of the above.
Also, to Skib, bull and bronc riding ARE NOT SPORTS!!!!
Anndd..I'm leaving now. Though may I grab a rum and coke on my way out? The coffee thread lacks this little luxury...
Phew, if that's the qualification, I'm having a sex change if there's any chance of joining the real men club by accident.Quote:

I believe games are now held as far south as The Stoop in London. The march of civilisation goes ever onwards.
I heard the onion news network is now covering soccer and other women's sports.
Woah! This is the first time I've come across this, we had something like this before - it died a quick death, unlike the girls' thread; you men can't stick with anything for long except your boxers. :lol:
