Beau Peep Football Match
« on: January 21, 2010, 03:53:49 PM »
I think we should have a football match.

Just like in school-days, we have 2 captains, and everyone lines up. The captains pick players for their sides in turn.

First we need 2 captains, then we'll work out how to play the game...

Oh, I remember the humiliation of those days, lining up to play a game of “rounders” on a Friday afternoon in the cement courtyard of the old school. Sometimes I would be picked second to last (the euphoria;the relief!) and other times club-footed Jeffery with the one inch thick glasses would beat me out – smug git.
People will come from strange lands to hear me speak my words of wisdom. They will ask me the secret of life and I will tell them. Then maybe I'll finish off with a song. The Nomad

Well, I think you're the obvious choice for one of the captains, Peeps, being an organiser and all-round good guy. Tarks would also make a good captain because he's a dirty, shin-kicking animal.

When we get the rules sorted out, Diane, we'll insist that you have to be first pick.

That sounds fair and reasonable Roger.

 Misread first pick, and thought she'd immediately go for Mince.

I object - I had a bath in the New Year.
I apologise, in advance.

I can't play football, so I'd have to be picked last.

(That is if you wanted me to play...)

Make it that we have to pick Tom second.

Malc would make a great coach.


















We'd have to take his teeth out and replace them with seats.

Boom-boom! Haven't heard that one since Cloughie Senior was manager at Forest.  ;D

we need to know who's available for being picked.

I suggest that to play the game, a third party, (let's call him, Mr Question Man), posts a random question and the first person who gets it right, wins a "pass".

If a member of the same team correctly answers the next question randomly asked, they win another "pass".

Maybe gaining 2 (or 3?), consecutive 'passes" equates to a goal.

Questions should be not too easy (like "Who's the most handsome on here?", because a lot of you have already seen me in the flesh.

Maybe Australians should be shared out, just to be fair, because of the time-difference.

There'd have to be team names, Peeps.

I suggest Beau Peep United versus Horace Rangers.

Excellent idea! Or Horace Academicals (that would be ironic, if I wasn't in that side).

Maybe we can vote on that first...

Rangers is easier to spell, but Academicals sounds good.
