Birmingham Bike Polo (Wednesday nights / Sundays - info in the thread)

I got pissed when I was a boy. But never went on a pista when I was a boy. Maybe that's where I went wrong?

did you have a few ales last night Mr Lover?

nah, ive given up the drink, trying to live a fairly healthy lifestyle now :-)

sorry i've been so shit and not been since that time soooo many weeks ago. coincidentally I am moving next door to calthorpe park in just over a week so you can look forward to more comedy dismounts and utter failure to meet ball with mallet :)

you move a lot!

also, you ought to get yer own mallet and have a few practice sesh's down teh park with the boyf :)

then when you're strong and polowerful, wipe the floor with fin and dan :D

i think pastry lover talks more polo than he plays...

looks like there's a good chance it won't be raining tonight - get your asses down to calthorpe 7.30 as per usual.

too true.

Poloist massive better be down calthorpe tonight, weather looks good.

hyper has been into on your towers and confirmed his attendance. he also mentioned something about dan V (green grips) having made his own mallet, so there's another possible...

yeah, i will get my own mallet at some point, but bf has fucked off, or rather i fucked him off so no practising with him i'm afraid. hence the moving. although this time is cos the landlord is getting rid of us rather than anything else. I have that effect on men :(

I'll be there!

green grips and all

i shall also be there
iv missed playin it so much

PoLo PaRTy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

excellent turnout tonight. i can't believe we needed to play birmingham's first ever throw-in game!

some of the first games (when we were divided into teams) were really fun. it gets a lot more competitive when there's a clear goal limit and the threat of having to sit out.

only downer for me was those fuckers throwing chicken at jimmy. and the drizzle. for shizzle.

oh, if anyone wants it, there's a massive cog behind the till at oyb - 20ish teeth. five quid i think.

first games were def the best, competetive ftw. Throw ins was cool too.

You had people throwing chicken at you?!
I tried my best to make it last night, but work dictates my wednesdays. I'm so envious of all the sessions you lot have had - i feel like the Hulk is raging inside me when i have to stay late at work....
Glad it was a good turnout - is anyone taking photo's?

I think there are some black and white ones earlier in the thread

Is polo on today? Anyone else playing?

weird i was just about to post about that...as far as I know theres no polo today (hypers not in bham). roll on wednesday!

yep, just got a text from hyper, he's not back yet. PEOPLE NEED TO GET THEIR OWN MALLETS.

no amount of capital letters will make that happen

fin should just sell the ones he's got, to people who play regularly but don't own one.

theyre easy to make if you have the tools and the materials, but its still more effort than the average person is prepared to make.

i might make some up to sell, just a matter of piping
