Cold Ale - The Blokes' Thread!

[The Atheist]

It needs thinking about this.

start with 100 points each.

you lose points for pointless kicking, spoiling scrums, spray-on tans and hair gel.

you gain points for prop's sidesteps (thats straight on over the opposition), taking on the winger on the outside, passing the ball, rubbing the tanned, hair gelled scrum half's head in the mud.

I too appeared as left back for my school on a couple of occasions.

I like it!

M'a'a N'o'n'u's mascara would be an immediate -20.

I like it too. I'm against all the male make up crap they are trying to sell us these days.

We've got a thread full of left backs - we'd keep some clean sheets, but perhaps we'd not make much of a team. How about you Gilliat and Soundof and gbrekken. Where do you play? You never know - we might rustle up a 5-a side team.

Quite right.

Nothing like a couple of Liverpool kisses to make sure all shots are long-range.

My sport was running, as in sprinting. I had no choice but to run!
Remember those knuckle dragging playground girls?!

I'll drive right over; where we playing? I'll get on my striped knickers and pom poms and do some big girl cheering dances

continuing the sporting theme, have you chaps come across the Women of curling Calender?

Here is a sample





There are more here, risque, but tasteful.

Hmm.. Curling, an undeservedly neglected sport. I see that now. I suggest we sod the football, grab a broom and start sliding our rocks about.

Is that the curling with the heated tongs?

Ha!

Cor, I'm getting shivers down my spine just thinking about it!

Ahem.

Did you really ask that?

Very good plan, although I have my doubts about our collective chances with a bunch of young babes!

15 or more years ago, sure, but I have to be honest and note that my appeal is greatest these days among women of the over 40 persuasion.

Not that there's anything wrong with that!

And just for those who live in sunny England - we've just completed our driest three months in recorded history in Auckland with a grand total of 56mm of rain in 2010 to date.

Melbourne had 60mm in an hour and a half a couple of weeks back.

Auckland; sub-tropical paradise.

Thanks for that Athiest
The one thing we are getting more than our share of is rain.


Here's a thing. Is there anything left to invent?

I ask this because mentioned on the news this morning was a Grandmother, who has thought of something so brilliant and so simple, that every boffin in the world must be slapping their forehead and going doh! (Its a needle anyone- even me- can thread)

So whats left, there must be something we all need but don't realize we do. Something simple, like that bit of string attached to mittens that goes up one sleeve of a toddler's coat and down the other.

I'll have to pass on the rugby, no place for ice hockey goalies. I did almost watch the Scottish-English match a week or so ago. Turned to the BBC and soon realized they were doing a full hour of pre-game, and that was just too much foreplay for me. By the time I tuned in again, in was half-time, and the only stat I fully understood was 160 succesful passes by the Scots, that, and they were ahead. Back to the other station, and then tuned in again for the last ten seconds of the post-game. "Two English coaches and neither one won". No OT? Back to the hot ice site-anyone for curling?

Beautiful t&a shots; oddly enough, my favorites are the ones that don't show alot of face Curling is an extremey dangerous sport; I gave it up when the arthritis came...Got the curler next to my head, tangled and couldn't get it out

Is that the curling with the heated tongs?

I hear they practice with the heated tongs and if it doesn't work out, they do a bikini cut

Ha!

Thank you, Atheist, there's one vote for me to change careers for cheerleading
I think nowdays it isn't much of a sport to catch the eye of the under 40's; just wave your credit card and keep a new auto

It's only spring and already as hot and muggy as a rainforest here

This needle I have to see; I wonder if it fits through any fabric?

Have we located the Jock yet...I wonder if that horrid muse poisoned him or something

Being from 't land myself, I do feel for the farmers; they are doing it very hard right now up in Northland, which just about never gets drought.

Go granny!

Got a link?

That's pretty good, but we can go one better!

Elastic on mittens attached to a pre-sewn frame in the back is the way to go, then we can attach a chain to the middle of the harness - no lost mittens or kids!

Isn't ice hockey full of mad bastards who fight all the time?

There's a place for you in rugby alright!

I never quite got the hang of that American thing of needing to find a winner at all costs; a draw's a fair result - it shows that both sides were crap.

[gbrekken]

Only once did I ever see a goalie in a fight. He met the other goalie at center ice while the rest of the teams were at each other. Goalie is more of a thinking man's position! Watching NCAA playoffs right now. I don't expect a boxing match to break out at this level of play. Doubt they'll televise the women's.

[Paulclem]

Just to cheer you up Atheist, we've got snow forecast for Tuesday/ Wednesday next week. I keep bringing the good news to my colleagues etc with the same result - tears and wailing and a beating of chests. Such fun. I'm from't North like Prendrelmick, so I don't care.

As for the team, I think we've got a good side developing -
Soundof with the cheerleading and the distracting credit card and the magic sponge for those delicate injuries
3 left backs
Gbrekken as a mad hockey player
Gilliat on the wing

What more do we need? When can we get a bit of practice in?
