FGSS D'ohlympics 2010 - Advice Sought - Date TBC

Cock it!

** puts german maid outfit back into the drawer **

It's why i never raced in the olympics in 2004!

didn't look right lining up for the 200m in ripped jeans and t-shirt?

Pleeeease no dressing up....for once!
More people would come along to more events in this world if they didn't have to 'dress up'. :)

In the original Olympics in ancient Greece, competitiors didn't dress up and ran naked. Could we please have none of that either.

This is an awesome idea, I was discussing the possibility of a Summer Fete type affair with games like this on Monday - although I think it was based around a baking and jam competition.

teams = beers Norths, Wests etc with honourary membership for the floaters or a team for the "i've never been to a forum beers and never will" people. No harm in a bit of friendly rivalry.

jousting - we could use wallpaper tubes stuck together with gaffer tape with a yellow sponge on the end.

Happy to help out with the sports related events or the catering.

Oh yes Claire - more baking and jam making.

mahooosive thumbs up to baking.

CAKE = Prizes

Ha! @ SNS - lets make it count and use felling axes

Did you read MA3K's post? He already suggested that.
"I would have prizes of NIB lights for the winners of the bike events(poss. 2nd place too)"

Sounds like a groovy idea.

Sorry missed that bit out.

Do you think we could have a sack race? I've got loads of postal sacks at work and would be more than happy to see that through.

Difficult to have a sack race on a bike, unless SNS's no dressing up rule (technically dressing down).

obstacle course?

You'll never hurt anyone let alone kill them if you do that. Long wooden poles with sharp iron spikes on the end ftw.

Good idea Claire, at least now the girls can join in too. ;)

Everything I make will have dairy products in it ;-)

How about the most people on a bike at one time?

Sack over the head... Or am I asking for trouble?

Not really suitalbe. You need something lightweight with a reasonable tensile strength. Probably best to go with kevlar tubes tipped with titanium barbs. If it's going to go in, it should also do damage coming out. You lose out on the rust factor but people will cheat with tetanus shots after all.

Oh and we should have pisumo

Blind bike racing. You absolute genius.

This definitely this.

Repped.

.

Teams of two, with one shouting the directions?

We should lay out this course.

How about the most people we can fit in Dancing James' new 'fitted' jacket at one time?

Surely DJ will have his time taken up prizefighting cabbie in the rose garden.

I have been thinking of doing forum drinks compeating against each other for a while. We need to find out who is king of the drinks (Norths obviosly).

We should lay out this course.

with a pitstop halfway, where you have to swap over the blind/non blind people

Whoever's on Pistanator's team is doomed. The opposition will just have to keep shouting "Left you weapon" and they'll be headed for Marble Arch in no time.

^^lol

Thanks for all the feedback and banter.

Now whats required is a list..

If you want to take responsibility for an event, nominate one and put your name down.
Later we will nail down a date to work towards.
