The Culture Cup Round 6 - new but not really improved

First topic message reminder :

May be an age thing, but is Sean seriously saying he talks to people with his testicles out to see how long they take to notice? And that doing so is a laugh?

Never thought I would say this, but bring back National Service if so.

Oh.
Damn.

Rowley wrote:Cheers Tina, suspect we need the discussion even more now. The addition of the word action in front of something does not cease to make it effeminate. You can't take up knitting and assume it is alright as long as you call it action knitting.

Precisely.

I am pretty close to calling an EGM of the board to discuss Raf's campness. Problem is, we are missing michaels, super and Galted so the seat of power is a bit thin.

I just very quickly googled Action Netball.

It is sponsored by netmums...

Is campness not allowed?

Yay!

Union Cane wrote:Is campness not allowed?

Campness is tolerated. We let you hang around for starters.

What isn't tolerated, however, is trying to claim a sport is something it isn't just by prefixing it with something jazzy.

There is a difference between the two. For one, action netball has the court surrounded by a net. The same can't be said for regular netball. it's like futsal, but netball.

(It's not getting any better for him, is it?)

I don't even play action it was a once-off thing. I play basketball in the winter, cricket in the summer and golf when I find left-handed sticks.

A net? What, so people get a soft landing it they happen to bump into it?
I'm off for a game of f*khard shuffleboard. The play area is surrounded by cushions.

bog off Julius

Remember playing indoor football in the gym where they had no nets around the perimeter but these horribly coarse brick walls. I always used to grate my elbows on them. It was either there or outside on the asphalt with about 5 other games going on simultaneously. The ovals were a few km away.

The good thing about playing indoors was we had two double doors at each end of the hall for the goals. The PE teacher (complete sadist) once came through the doors (from the inside) just as I blasted a shot from close range. Nearly took half his face off... the precision blow certainly rattled his moustache. (it was late 70s) The bastard gave me a detention for it though.

Or maybe early 80s, Julius.    Think "Ashes to Ashes" was No.1 that week.

I never did sit in detention. Went to one of those schools where the star students get star treatment.

michaels went to one of those...

We had another sadist running detention. He used to beat the crap out of some kids.

Was chatting with an Irish builder today... sharing violent stories of clashes with teachers. I think he won. They used to punch each other in the face, break jaws, loosen teeth, etc. Although my school was comparatively "old fashioned" if we had hit back it would have made front page news. These days the kids are expected to slap the odd teacher - who basically have no power and have to cop it sweet... often cowering in a corner as the other kids make videos of it.

Difference Rick, is that our fangirls were actually fangirls, and not the lads at hostel 9.

Went to a similar school LB, I'll never forget running into the Engineering teacher's class to tell him the school was on fire, and he was more concerned with the fact that I had no permission to be out of class... Got a hiding for my efforts

I used to catch the train with Nicole Kidman. Total snob. We'd get out at a particular station and play this really violent version of British Bulldog - tackles allowed and you'd get thumped as soon as you were caught. Can still see her shocked face as the train pulled out of Wollstonecraft.
Have a feeling she (or one of her mates) dobbed us in. Was fun while it lasted. I can still feel the adrenalin whenever I go by there now.

I also had fish. I had mackerel with a nice pasta salad.

Finished off with a f*cking great slab of mars bar cake.

You've changed Rick. You spend a few days on here with the southerners and now look at what you have for lunch. I expect better from you.

Not much option in the old Canteen today Jeff...

Ill be back on the dripping sandwiches tomorrow, don't you worry...

Are you sure this wasnt pasta, with a medley of seasonal leaves, infused with a balsamic sauce?

Nope, definitely just pasta salad. The chef had put sultanas in it though. What's all that about?

Tino wrote:The chef had put sultanas in it though. What's all that about?

He probably had his raisins for doing so...

Can you not make your puns a bit more currant?

Tino wrote:Can you not make your puns a bit more current?

I put a grape deal of effort into my puns.

Alright, no need to wine on.

Tino wrote:Alright, no need to wine on.

I don't vine! Plus I think I may be out of grape related puns.

These puns are coming too fast. Please go a little shloer.

Toasted egg & bacon sandwich, fruit juice, and one of those chunky peach yoghurts with active bacteria.

Do you mean 'Action bacteria' - the bacteria for men?

How do you toast an egg?

Jules wrote:Do you mean 'Action bacteria' - the bacteria for men?

Only if the bacteria is surrounded by a net.

Union Cane wrote:How do you toast an egg?

You raise your glasses and say "To the egg!"

Cane - You make Sunnyside eggs, then you put it between two slices of bread, and toast the sandwich.

I've been told the correct term for active bacteria, is probiotics. I prefer active bacteria

raf wrote:You make Sunnyside eggs, then you put it between two slices of bread, and toast the sandwich.

Thats does sound pretty tasty, wonder what it would be like in a toastie (done in a toastie maker) or is that what you mean raf?

Either/or Rick. The canteen doesn't have a toastie, but I've done it with a toastie, and It's lovely.

May give that a shot mate, I do enjoy a bit of egg...

You ever do that thing whereby you get a yorkshire pudding/muffin tray.  Grease with butter, put a circle of bread at the bottom, bacon around the edge, then crack an egg in the middle and cook in the oven for around 15 mins?

Belter of a breakfast that bad boy

food:

Can't say I have... Sounds fantastic, though, real cholesterol bumper. Might give it a go this weekend.

What temp do you cook them at, Dagger? They look reet f*cking tasty.

Good man. That is Sunday's breakfast sorted.

They look good but is that really wise in your condition?

Being camp is a state of mind, not a condition.

Are they better toasted or grilled?

I may have to quit the culture cup. Cooking and action netball. This is not what I signed up for.
