Cold Ale - The Blokes' Thread!

Well...I don't know much about Rum...
...but I'd have to agree that hockey players require actual skills...
It's not like running a football past the line, they're on skates too!!! That also means that they are moving at a faster pace,

Skates! Played hockey m'self for the college mixed 11, played on grass in our plimsoles. Don't remember any fights, but some of the gels used to get a bit cattish.

Sorry, but it seems that some scurvily infected fellow on the Mayflower didn't bring with them the proper vocabulary. Forgive my ignorance, but could you broaden my poor English vocabulary...

plimsoles...
gels...
cattish...(I deducted that this means rowdy or argumentative )...

Might I suggest the members attend a game of Rugby League. Its similar to rugger, or kick 'n' Clap as its called round here, but with the silly bits taken out.

I believe games are now held as far south as The Stoop in London. The march of civilisation goes ever onwards.

Yeah, it's funny old game. All those years of rugby holding league to the ground by the throat, but give it another five years and it'll be taking over the rugby game. I agree that nowadays, it's a far better game.

I heard the onion news network is now covering soccer and other women's sports.

Now, if someone were to put a driving lane out back behind our club, where after a few JDs, we could test our skill, I'd be up for that.

Just a bit of a problem with space. Anything bigger than a wedge is going straight over th back hedge, and Her Majesty gets worried about the corgis swallowing a golf ball, so no go, I'm afraid.

I just serve those who come in. It's the guards' duty to show people out.

Did you fill that cup in the bathroom?

Plimsolls are tennis/sport shoes - canvas topped

Gel [hard G] is a gal/girl - very 19th-century

And you don't describe women as catty sometimes? Still strongly in use. Ever seen catfight? All claws, screaming and biting?

there is skill in hockey... but! you should all watch a game of Gaelic or Hurling sometime...

But only if you are wearing flack jackets and steel helmets. The same goes for those attending an Irish wedding.

The sign of a good sport is, of course, to be measured through it's growth and popularity throughout the world. Those that come immediately to mind are cricket, rugby, football, golf…Hmm I think I see a pattern developing.

Do I see my drink coming?

[BienvenuJDC]

I didn't hear you order one?

I don't agree that growth and popularity is a sign of a good sport. I have discovered that the masses don't necessarily have the best taste. People are followers...like lemmings. Consider Reality TV...it is very popular, but that does not mean that it's good.

Oh I'm sorry sir! All the sports talk had me a little distracted! LOL! Here you go!

Did you fill that cup in the bathroom?

Ummm, what cup, sir?

And also, I don't mean to be a bother but I'd have to report that we're running a little low on the beverages. The security cameras indicated the source of the problem:

[Silas Thorne]

Quickly skib, get the rifle. Be careful, try not to hit the whiskey!

[BienvenuJDC]

Ummm, what cup, sir?

I believe that he was referring to the cup of green tea!!

[Silas Thorne]

Can anyone shoot around here, or do I have to get the duelling sabre out of the games room?

Are you going to get that weasel?

[BienvenuJDC]

**takes LostPrincess out to see the weasel and looks up to see the meteor shower**

Look up...Wow!! That looks awesome...

[Silas Thorne]

Ok then...

I get a dart from the dartboard, kneel down and throw it underhand, impaling the weasel through the throat and lifting it a few feet up in the air, twitching and pinned against the wall.

'Sorry about the mess!' I shout, as blood trickles onto the floor from its throat, all over the floor.

But luckily the bottle topples over intact, and I put it back on the bar.

We have a new dart champion!!

Don't worry...I'll take care of the clean-up. Does anybody have a good recipe for weasel??
