British Bulldog

Black Sea Baby

Anyone fancy a game in Victoria Park this week. Reckon we need about 30 people to make it interesting. My flatmate will be operating a shuttle service to the Whittington hospital in her Prius.

Yes, I think this is a brilliant idea. I feel christmas, as well as being a time to be a good christian, is also a time to enjoy yourself like a child and victimize the fat kid.

Count me in.

Dairy Queen

What about Tiny Tim?

I'm not sure I'd let him play as he could use the crutch as a weapon. nobody likes a cheat.

Chapter none

He could referee... Can we play dodge ball afterwards?

And hang on, as this is mainly a finsbury park based forum, why do you feel the need for us to defect to victoria park eh?

Black Sea Baby

dodge ball actually requires equipment (ball) and may be a bit beyond my organisational skills. The beauty of british bulldog is in it's simplicity; all you need is lots of people, an open space and an aggressive bullying mentality born out of low self esteem.

*all you need is lots of people, an open space and an aggressive bullying mentality born out of low self esteem.* Don't knock it, the British Empire was built on bullying, low self esteem and desire for open spaces.

Dairy Queen

Being American, can I wear padding? We only do sports that involve ridiculous amounts of equipment. Its a security thing.

Black Sea Baby

maybe you could employ an unmanned drone to play for you. Then again there are a couple of playschools near by. Wouldn't want any collateral damage.

Dairy Queen

Maybe I will just stay in the reserves. And bail you out when it all starts going wrong. Then I claim any winnings regardless of the outcome.

andy

Winnings? My memory of British Bulldog was that it was just loosely structured fighting. I'd don't remember money changing hands.

Chapter none

That was what the bullying was all about... All the small kids had no lunch money by the end...

Dairy Queen

I was actually referring more to the betting board..
