azkaisr Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Now Steve, guys like Andy and I have put in a great deal of training to be at our peak once inside the pub. It has taken us both years of training to reach our physiological peak for competing at a very high level. Link to comment

It has taken us both years of training to reach our physiological peak for competing at a very high level. Does that include a reaction test [ including hand eye co ordination ] for getting your wallet out of your pocket ?? Link to comment

Controlled Restricted and Graceful movement tends to get one a better result with the judges. Having not competed head to head with Andy, I will refrain from discussing his technique specifically Link to comment

Gary in Aus Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 We have a member of our boat crew who has difficulty with hand eye coordination concerning his wallet during shouts at the pub. We remedied this years ago by taking his wallet on arrival , extracting the estimated expenditure on his part for the night and placing it on the bar any left over he gets to keep . He complains that we don't trust him, cast flaws to his character , treat him as a second class citizen ,generally demean him and that we are basically a pack of bastards. We tell him that we do not care . We have been doing this for the last 18 years . Link to comment
Boffin Posted February 17, 2009 Author Share Posted February 17, 2009 I reckon I need to defend my reputation here. I strongly deny that I have short arms and deep pockets, in fact I will buy any board member a drink whenever they drop into my local. Andy Link to comment
Gary in Aus Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 I notice you forgot to include the name of your local. Was this an accident or just convenient , I wonder ? Link to comment

Woodie Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Alright. Now I have an invitation, I'll start working on my better half. Link to comment
Albert Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 The less I travel these days the more I think about the things I miss. I miss a good English pub. A lot. Enjoy Andy. Link to comment
Gary in Aus Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Andy, my local , fairly crappy website , but a good pub and a flat 200 metre walk from home. Nice balmy evenings on the terrace listening to some easy music , cold beer and good food, and very, very laid back. http://www.beacheshotel.com.au/node/29 This site has external photos of Beaches and the second pub in town Ryans , Ryans is pretty good but a few hundred metres further away. http://www.gdaypubs.com.au/NSW/wollongong/thirroul.html and I return your offer of shouting you a beer when you call in ! {will save the embarasment of taking your wallet at the beginning} Link to comment
Gary in Aus Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Andy, this is my local when I go up to my farm , same offer to pay for your beer there too. http://www.gdaypubs.com.au/NSW/sofala.html Link to comment
Boffin Posted February 17, 2009 Author Share Posted February 17, 2009 My 'local' is actually about three miles away and there are four closer pubs. This one however, has a much better atmosphere, more social activities and a better range of real ales - and the landlord knows how to keep them. It is only a few minutes away on the local bus and the last bus leaves 20 minutes after closing. I like the sound of 'The Beaches', having a fondness for the Blues. If the lottery comes up I shall take you up on your offer - I have long hankered for a long-trip to the antipodes - especially to take in an Australia-England test match. Andy Link to comment
Flyer5 Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 I guess the girl should be happy that the victim was a sprinter and not a shooting champ . The outcome could have been different .I could picture the 72yr old womans comments ,I wasn't sure if I would remember just how much to lead before squeezing the trigger. Link to comment
