Having recently been shamed in another thread into admitting to being a Manchester United fan since early childhood:p, I was wondering how many of our more mature members owned or played Subbuteo when they were younger.
Do today’s modern equivalents of fantasy football management and X-box style football games really measure up to the world of Subbuteo, where you were the players, manager, grounds men and owner all at once. What lengths did you go to in order to perfect your pitch and your football skills? Did you and your pals have a league? Did you have the rugby version? Was there an equivalent game for American sports? :)
We never had subuteo, but my mate did, he had painted the burnley strip on to his players. I had to be sunderland, or sheffield utd or stoke or a random red and white striped team. I was rubbish anyway
I loved subbuteo! had the complete stadium all the scottish premier teams & scotland & englad national sides. - always made the little bro go england
We had a subbuteo contest in the first form, I was 11. You had to draw your team from a hat, caused a lot of trouble but I didn't care cos I don't understand football, or being a supporter etc. I mean, for what?
I drew Leicester City. Ah, where are they now?
Leicester city= league 1
On a happier note Netherlands - Norway: 2-0
Yay!
Suck on it Norwegians..... Haha Just kidding, you guys are alright, but you lost, too bad. :D
You can't beat a good pint of hand pulled Bitter such as Old Speckled Hen!
You are right, but better to try a couple of pints of Fuller's ESB and float home comfortably afterwards.Quote:

I have been drinking beer for more years than I care to remember but the other night something happened that I have never seen before. I asked the barmaid for a bottle of Leffe Belgian lager and, as she poured, it came out of the bottle as pure water. She was as surprised as I was and nearly dropped the bottle. At £3.40p a bottle that would have made it very expensive water. Has anyone experienced a similar phenomenon?
You turned beer into water. You may be the antichrist.

yeah that's right if you got the bottle with the water you had to proposition the barmaid, then she gave you the money, wasn't that it?Quote:

I find them a fascinating study - underpaid, overworked and subjected to sexual harrassment every working night. Kind of like being a hooker without the benefits.Quote:

Can't say I've ever seen a barmaid driving a Porsche.
lol what I was pretty much getting at was whether you meant monetary or perks of a sexual nature
And Brian, no, I'm not speaking from experience. That stint in Vegas just never worked out... :P
*added*
On a more serious note, this might be another interesting topic under Serious Discussions. Legislation of drugs seemed to be a hot topic. This may be as well
Urrgh. Why is it that all hot topics have to do with allowing people to perform the lowest of behavior? And it always seems to be, I wouldn't do it, but others have the right to.
Having sex is low behaviour?Quote:

Swearing like sailors, drinking like fish, smoking like chimneys.... A plus, a plus, and a neutral! *shrugQuote:

Thats so macho, I felt a surge of testosterone just reading it.
Have you tried a statue of a owl, one of trhose plastic things? Someone who had a similar problem tried it and told me it worked for a while. Then the woodpeckers realized it didn't move and felt comfortable going back. It might get you some relief and perhaps if you moved it around you might be able to fake them into thinking it's real.Quote:

You know why women have smaller feet than men, its pretty obvious really, so they can get nearer to the kitchen sink. Scottish beer, of course, is far superior to that American Duff. Well its time to go as I can hear the Amazon's jungle drums beating. If your courageous experiment prospers you will hear from me again, however, I feel that female retribution is swiftly winging its way to you. Best wishes from your fairweather pal, Jocky.
I take it you have a deep hidey-hole somewhere stocked with enough food to last about a year of siege after that!Quote:
