London polo in the New York Times!

http://globespotters.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/07/28/riding-bikes-not-horses-in-these-polo-matches/

Games take place several times throughout the week, at several off-the-beaten-path locations. In South London, games happen from 7 p.m. until sundown on Wednesdays at Newington Gardens, off of Harper Road (Southwark, SE1; Elephant & Castle tube stop); and in North London, from 7 p.m. to sundown on Tuesdays and Thursdays at Downham Road and Ufton Road, near Islington in DeBeauvior (N1, 20-minute walk from Angel tube stop, Northern Line), and also at a court about a mile north on a small street called Mitchison Road in Islington (N1, 15-minute walk from Highbury & Islington tube stop, Victoria Line).

An astonishing level of detail for the New York Times that is sure to stimulate polo tourism. ;)

Usa go polo try

or "go try USA polo" cos, like, in new york they... er... got told about yorgo's game of polo on bikes....

"sorry"

"Marc is the best player in the world....

i taught him how to play"

-Yorgo

I confirm

• yorgo
  

Yep, that's the winner. A second place has to be "Ray polo gusto." Everyone one I posted is an actual anagram of Yorgo Tloupas (the inventor of bike polo).

Reckon the back of the Yorgo shirt should read "Us at polo orgy"

Should we start a list for those who want that shirt?

OK I have to warn you guys that the BBC girl last night forced me to rephrase my very long explanation from something that went like ***"Polo was played in london 5 years ago by a group of bike messengers including my teammate mike but it didn't really pick up enough momentum (...), then in the late cold winter of 2006 I went to new york city for (...) and I met zach and brad from (...) and i played there (...) and then the internet helped us in London to find a court (...) in Brick Lane and we built mallets from (....) and then we started palying on different courts (...) etc..." ***to a more succint "Hi, I am Yorgo, and I brought Bike Polo to London"

But Yorgo - I told them that you and I invented polo, we must get our story straight

You guys are a bunch of silly fuckers. You will make more noise and mess than chimps at a zoo whilst polo is playing, but revert to acting like shy teenagers, mumbling and staring at your feet when a camera is pullled out. The response was much like the first time Wigan Will turned up to polo last summer.

The result is that last night I ended up giving the BBC commentary/explanation of polo, yet as you know I am a stupid cunt who does not even play the damn game. I only ref as it has the potential to make a grown hipster cry when the decision goes against them.

James you are a cunt

at least is what your T-shit was saying yesterday

dammed you really are fullfilling your reputation ;0)

hey who is the press contact for ehbpc? Matt? Iain? Roxy? I have some requests from press people.
