12 more than you normally have;-) Just got a text from our leader congratulating us on our communication skills, just wanted it on record that it's my fault that there's two blogs 'cause I'm two days late in putting one up & you were prob so pissed off at passing me a tiny task & it not happening that you did it yourself, I feel that I have failed you & think as punishment I should be made to drinks heaps of alcohol & let Billy smash a tray over my head lots & lots of times.....oh no, that was last Sat.
Well, I can safely guess that I know who that one is. My interpretation of the rules that I've always gone by (which'll be disputed to the max) is- Drink must be in persons hand, it doesn't matter how much is in the drink, if you want to waste it on a half pint, then that's just plain foolish, you dont have to buy a drink for the person that's just been golf balled, that's their fault for not paying attention, the prize the person gets for being golf balled is that they get to repay the favour onto someone else. It's not a game of issuing a challenge that if you down your pint then you win & get one bought back for you because we're in a rugby club & 99.9% of people can down a pint, therefore making it a pointless challenge, it's a game designed to get everyone as drunk as pos as quick as pos, if it was about issuing a challenge & then buying the person a replacement drink, what'll happen when it gets put in my pint is that I'll happily accept the free drink & place the said golf ball in my pocket to save buying pointless pints. The golf ball cannot be passed about, the only person that can put the ball in someones drink is the person who has just had it done to them. That's just my version of it but as I said, there will be different adaptations of it to follow no doubt.
Just to also point out that I don't have a double alias of 1 to 15 & back again, in case any smart arse (Jowlett) thinks I'm agreeing with myself, if I wanted to do that, I'd use my own other sign in name to do it....kidding...or am I?
Sharp as a beach-ball again, just sayin! I don't think anyone believes your 1 to 15 and back again....they have only posted a couple of times, whereas you like the sound of yer own voice too much LOL
This sounds much the same as the previous Spartacus/Spartasuc debate. yawn! More importantly, the golf ball game rules: It appears that we have diluted what happened in days of old. It had to be a full (or virtually so) pint that was in the drinkers possession. You couldn't deliver a pint/jug with a golf ball in it, but you could plop it in as soon as they took it. Drink it in a oner or put the rest over your head! You then had possession of the ball. The paying for the beer thing is quite new, you didn't use to have to pay if you "golf balled" someone. I am sure that this will piss Craig D off after he bought about 10 pints on Saturday. (Craig..don't pick piss heads beer to put the ball in!) I suggest that we put the rules up in the club so there is no debate.
Would love to make a claim 1 to 15, but seeing as that doesn't make any sense, the only thing I can claim is that I dont understand what you're saying. About the golf ball game- the reason why it doesn't matter how much is in the glass is it saves any bickering about how much is classed as virtually full (is it 2, 3, 4, 5 sips? 3/4 full is still virtually full) & nips (drink variety) can also be golf balled but they're never full or virtually full. If someone wants to waste in on a half or quarter pint, then that's their stupidity, like I say, saves any bickering if there's no actual volume of liquid that it has to be & seeing as we're all proven to be top quality bickerers (what a great word), make it as simple as pos to eradicate the problem.
Have you ever tried to drink a nip with a golf ball in it? Rugby players drink out of pint glasses (unless there is a cheeky vimto around!), however if you want to allow someone to put a golf ball in yer G&T it's up to you. The debate about the glass half full or half empty is an old one. Doesn't matter to me but there are a lot pf people who'll take a sip and then refuse to down it if golf balled.......I leave the rules in your capable hands.
Gwen takes part & she drinks nips & as you say, there is quite often a glass or five cheeky vimtos kicking about, haven't had my nip glass done yet, have had it done to my jug though. That's the main reason why it shouldn't matter how much of your drink is left, then nobody can complain about it not being full enough, just drink it without any questions. In your position, I thought the glass would always have to be half full? Where's my nickname man, have been waiting for something really witty? It's not up to me to make the rules, I'm just suggesting stuff to make it as easy as pos to go by, once they've been 'finalised', I'll print them up to put in the club if you like?
No alias here just think about the call sign, I'm real and my own man.
Totally agree with 'the voice of reason' and their post about numbers at training.
Not even into the cold, icy, dark winter nights and it appears training numbers are falling. Since there were no games last or this weekend then probably this made it easier not to turn up.
This is nothing new and is the same old problem experienced in recent years where at this time of year only the most dedicated players and coaches are turning up
In the words of the great late Roy Castle 'dedication is what you need'.
Climbing the leagues isn't just about turning up on a Saturday afternoon and putting the boots on, our team needs to know who is doing what, has a good leader that we all follow into battle, has a playing strategy that everyone can play and has bought in to, is hard working and dedicated on game days and at training and has team work both on and off the park.
Potentially playing numbers are in the region of 35 to 40. That's almost 3 teams on the park bringing back the real days of old.

What Gordon Brown has your text number. Any chance of putting a word in for me. He is great.
Good job Bruce.
Golf ball drinking game rules anyone?

Good rules, I agree

Harsh statement, I resemble that remark!
just saying like guys, there is only one 1 to 15 and back again, you know just saying that I don't think anyone else can claim that
This sounds much the same as the previous Spartacus/Spartasuc debate. yawn!

Guys what has happened to the training? We've got 20 odd who could be there and only 8 of us last night, it's pish!!
No alias here just think about the call sign, I'm real and my own man.
