yeh cool although im beginning to think the decathlon poles arnt all that good, my LOOK pole is still totally straight but my decathlon one is pretty wavey like 2 big dents causing bends,i think there ok but it might be useful checking ebay/charity shops, my look ones were only £6 with a few pound postage so no price difference really, i saw the convoy of post men! were you across the road from me

i also have ALOT of yellow piping now if anyone needs any
see everyone 2moro at polo

ste can i dib 30cm of piping for future mallet production?

yeah i was on the other side of the road, aye i'll have a look around for some ski poles then, did you get your pipe from withington too? theyve got tonnes of it there at the moment!

Ste, I'd be greatful for a bit of pipe if you have some spare. I've got plans for a Version 2 mallet with thenholes in the right place this time.

See yous all tonight.

good polo

word.

i am still not able to ride bikes. yes i am very bored. another 2 weeks.

but i would like you to let me know team names etc. for the festival tournament as I've started putting them on the website and at the moment we have loads of london teams and a french team and no mcr teams....

so, NAMES PLEASE LOVELIES x x x

oh and i have a spare ski pole if anyone wants it???

We're gonna have to get some teams up and running this week then. Hopefully there's enough of us for 2 or 3 with no one left out.

yes lets have a better turn out this week!

I'll hopefully turn up this week! I'd been being pretty shoddy about it, but I'm cleaning the bike up tomorrow ready to get the wheels trashed at polo.
It's a maybe but it's always a hopeful maybe.

yeh there was only like 6 of us last week, need more peeps, i will join a team for the tournament

cool. stephen that used to play for oxford and the famous jason cattermole are both coming not in a team so we can pair them up and someone can play with them and be the randomers or something...unless they are up for being subs (ste is), just in case someone is ill or whatever.

i said i'd ref the tourney so mebbe count me out though me anna and sophie were gonna have a girlz team i think i soph is up for it. someone else can cover my reffing whilst i'm playing.

if people are up for making a putting up posters to advertise the polo practices that would be good...i put one in gbh ages ag..is it still there?

oh, and if people can put polo teams up whilst they are here that would be great. we have about 15 out of towners that need places to sleep so please let me know if you can sort a couch or a bed for a night or two that weekend.

fuck!! didnt realise that the polo tournament was then until now but ive got dissertation hand in on april 21st - meaning no polo tournament, hell of the nW, yo fixie etc for me. BOLLOCKS

just do the dissertation now and then it will be finished in time for you to have fun (pretend it has to be in the week before)

Sorry guys, i can't make polo this eve, need to be getting on with I Bike MCR festival flyers posters etc... & then in a meeting about I Bike MCR festival flyers posters etc....

You see that my evening has a theme.... enjoy your games...

Oh and to whoever texted me about Glow in the Dark balls when i was in New York, i looked all over the place, went to 3x sports store who have them on their websites (but not in their stores apparently), I asked on the New York Fixed gear forum and even asked the guys who play polo on Sunday.... No-one could point me in the direction of anywhere to get them... Sorry.... I tried......

That was me about the glow in the dark balls, yeh they do seem pretty illusive good effort though!

I did get some glow in the dark grips today, so not all bad :)

see the rest of you at polo later,

hella yeah, my damn polo mallet tape still hasnt come so ive just had to get creative with some stuff to make a handle, its not all bad! ive come across the whereabouts of several disused "for sale" signs too so i think i might make a wheel disk, (im still not keen on smashing in my wheels see)
shame about the drizzle. cya later

No Morgan at polo tonight, punctured both inners trying my backwards circles today, fucking things.

shall buy one..or two maybe

it was fun today, just a cautious suggestion but would anyone be up for earmarking another day on top of thursday for polo or are 2 polo days a week a little too much?
