Cold Ale - The Blokes' Thread!

I quite fancy a go at that skeleton sledging. I might not be the most aerodynamic shape, but I have plenty of mass for gravity to work with.

Yes. Bulky and unaerodynamic is what I'd put on my application form for the skeleton. I'm sure it'd be just like going down the glassy slope that was Cannonball Hill on my plastic bag. (I was sore that day).

I think they should hold a parallel Olympics for old fat blokes who should know better. No training or anything, just a delusional belief that you are still 21 would be required.

Top Olympic athlete of all time, IMHO, Eddie The Eagle Edwards.

[Paulclem]

Agreed Mick. The middle aged games. Perhaps every competition should have a parallel tournament.

Eddie is up there with the Jamaican Bobsled team, and represents the pinnacle of what the middle aged games could achieve. At least there'd be plenty of material for those falling over programmes.

Speaking of which, I went **** over *** down at the allotment today. I was moving lengths of the plastic greenhouse when i got my foot stuck in one end and the other jammed into the ground. I'm pleased to report that I sprang up immediately just in case anyone was looking out of the windows of the houses that overlook the allotment. That's when the psychic sense kicks in and you can feel the guffaws, hoots and neighing.

[The Atheist]

**** over *** is a new one on me. I get the ****, but I cannot figure out what the *** is. It was always **** over tip that I know.

Count me in on the middle-aged Olympics!

I could do that curling business.

I'm currently drinking a beer called 'Mondo Blonde' and waiting for my 'Cowboy Burger' to be served up. I'm not much of a macho guy, but I thought I might mention this here

You're in the right place. I've just had a lime and strawberry flavoured cider. Strawberries in a glass. Mmmm

I've heard of **** over tip but I always thought it was **** over *it. Perhaps it's local usage.

Highly appropriate!

Although you might want to double-check on the macho-ness around here. We serve Shirley Temples at the bar and there are people around here who drink chocolate stout!

It's more of a refined gentlemen's club.

Except the refined tends to refer to the booze, and the only "gentlemen" in the place is the sign at the toilet.

I wondered if that was it. I was hoping it was something naughtier, as it didn't occur to me that one would be **ed. What happens in my ornithology thread when we get to ***s? Or even boobies. (waiting to see if it escapes the censor) The blue-footed booby mating dance is one of the wonders of the animal kingdom!

There are quite a lot of variations, all bastardised from the original, which is: ****, being bottom, over tip, being top. Dictionaries generally list both, I see.

Somehow, down this end of the world, it became **** over kip, which I'm sure is due to all the Irish accents early on.

[The Atheist]

Phew, the blue-footed boobies are safe.

If you haven't seen it, go and check out their dancing. Harlem shake, my ****.

We like to play games too...

I'll offer up my water heater tank for the old geezer Olympics; split it down the middle and you have two bobsleds.

[prendrelemick]

Mrs P had a ..... Over... Experience, t'other day. She was holding my young dog Gwen as I was penning some sheep , she was supposed to leap in and shut the gate, but when I shouted, the dog leapt in and pulled her over instead. Face down in mud of an organic origin. My encouraging cries of "get up and shut the gate
for heavens sake" did not go down well.

[Sancho]

Probably a good thing you resisted wishing her a happy Valentine's Day at that point.

Middle-age Olympics! Count me in!

I think the first event should be the "****over*** competition," with points awarded for technical difficultly as well as style. (Although I'm still not sure what ****over*** means)

But before the first event, there should be an opening ceremony. I'm not sure what our uniform ought to be, but I'm fairly certain it will include plaid Bermuda shorts, black socks, and leather shoes.

[Paulclem]

I'm going to introduce kneesy, earsy, nosey to the office. I'll let you know how they get on. I'll probably need a bit of practice over this week before I do though.

The **** over *** competition should be very good. The slow motion replays should be worth a programme in themselves. And I like the sound of the uniform. What top though? What about a tuxedo style t-shirt with a dicky-bow print so that we look like sporty bouncers? That would suit us Mick.

[prendrelemick]

Yes I think I could pull that off.
