Score one more for the brick lane stolen bikes market ..the polo bike is now returned. Much love to Martin from Brick Lane Bikes, who called me when I was still sleeping and hungover to tell me the chav kids in the market had my bike. Seriously, can we go down there with large weapons one week? I'm pretty sure none of the other bikes they had were theirs either. Anyway, thanks to martin and brick lane bikes, I got mine back. And thanks again to everyone else who posted or was watching out for it.

Now Im just upset they took off most of my stickers. And put out the flames..

it had a sweet banana wheel as well

Fortunately, Ive still got the banana wheel :)

That is not very nice.

Youll be pleased to know it had my only remaining front brake too :) Can I have next week off now please?

Another stolen polo bike
Stolen from a back yard next to broadway market last night:

Silver (but very stickered) Spartan track bike, yellow deep vs, condor/sugino chainset with bmx chainring, risers, 43x21 gear so they wont be going fast...

Yeah. Its my polo bike. FOr some reason I cant find any pictures right now, but youve probably all seen it..I lent it to a friend (her last bike went under a HGV..), and last night their house got broken into.

As usual, if you see it anywhere, stab the kid riding it in the eyeball from me, etc..or call me on 07981 031 6two7 and ill do it myself...

I do like a tidy Strat!!
Love this Tele though, it's Jim Root's (Stone Sour, Slipknot) new signature model!!

Yehah, that looks wild..I'm rediscovering my old black telecaster/double humbucker beast..theres this great gnarly fatness to it that I really like

I used to string my Strat with 13-56 and I put a 5 springs in the back to help with the string tension.

13-56? Is this one of those HTFU posts? Part guitar, part bullworker? Actually, I bet it sounded amazing...

Dude.that sucks. I'm sorry..At least its pretty distinctive..They cut through the lock? What kind of fucktard targets a polo bike? If your polo bike is anything like mine they'd have been better off cutting through the bike and taking the lock.. If there's anything you havent been offered multiple times already, let me know and Ill dig through the box(es) of stuff, etc

The bff polo has always been 'done' by the producer's boyfriend. Has this changed? (i really hope so!)

:)

+1

**"You know, I'm not manhandling you, I'm just steering you into the wall"

**spoken with Lil' john's voice it just sounds perfect

If only I remembered saying any of that...

Being logical about this, if you get three points, you must have got 15 goals.
The question is really about how many goals the forfeiting team should be awarded. I say that it should represent a worse case scenario, which would be nil. However, given that they get -1 point, I'm also inclined to say they should receive -5 goals.

;354694']I can't personally think of a substantial argument against that.

I kind of agree. Although I remember the meeting where we decided on the -1, and maybe thats punishment enough, given that the league is prinarily about points. Maybe GD should be assumed as three 5-0 defeats, ie +15 for the team that shows up, with no GD penalty for the losers. I think its about just how much we penalise the no-shows (not just MT..)

You appear to have tucked your c&b's well out the way for that shot.

No, they really are that tiny..i hear its a grower..

Friday 31st October
Teams of two
7pm Registration@Foundry

Costumes or Die..

What, you think I actually read anything anyone else posts? I thought the forum was for gays?

Mark rocks. I miss that boy. Watch his stuff. Give him money.

Sitting Ducks are playing Moving Targets in the league this Saturday. As some of you might know, Scott and I act as middle managers to some of the MT guys.

Surely that makes you both also "middle managers" to the rest of the Sitting Ducks (ie me..). Can I get a referee every time we play together? I think I need independent verification of our team tactics?

Wait. When did you become middle management? Does that mean playing with you makes me a class traitor?

I give you the amazing, inimitable, Mark Growden:

http://laughingsquid.com/mark-growden-plays-the-handlebars/

It stands on the shoulders of every BFF event before it and across the world.

Thats the only way Laura can see anything..

Ok sorry, i am super busy so dont have time to read the thread. So what time do the french guys need to be there on sunday and where??? Cheers

Theyre on straight after object..

Incidentally, the BFF would love help court building at 5.30pm saturday for a couple of hours. Beer and power tools provided. And if anybody has a spare car/van/CargoBike for an hour or so on saturday before then, I'll ensure theyre suitably rewarded....

Okay. Firstly, thanks to all the assorted drunks I made pick teams last night. I'm not sure if you knew what you were picking (and by the end I'm pretty sure I had no idea..) You might have even just been random jaguar shoes hipsters. But you made it as random as I can imagine. If you dont like your draw, track down the wastrel who picked you and complain to them. (if its really a problem, call me, or catch me at rollapaluza later and we'll work something out).

And gabes...at least youre guaranteed 2 games this time...

Anyway, here's the amazing divisions as chosen by the drunks of shoreditch:

1)
Suspicious But Delicious
No Sympathy
Moving Targets

2)
Fabulous French Fuckers
Malletov Cocktail
Dentalists

3)
Three Less Horses
Sitting Ducks
Fighting Mongooses

4)
Dans Ta Gueule Puceau
Brixton Bashers
Shacklewell APC

5)
BAD Polo
Thunder Strikes
Battersea Wreckers

6)
Losing Targets
The Toffs
Sezza and the Lezzas

7)
Zombie RMY
Riders of Naam
Malice International

8)
Cluster Fuck Unit
Oxford League of Gentlemen

Ill post the full running order later, but its basically 1st game from division 1, 1st game division 2...then 2nd game div 1, etc., until everyone plays the rest of their division.

Then Division winners play 1vs2, 3vs4, etc.

In other words, first up is Suspicious But Delicious Vs No Sympathy, followed by Fabulous French Fuckers vs Malletov Cocktail. If theyre all on time(ish) Vidal might get his untimed 1/4 finals..

So was the draw made at the BFF last night?

Yep. Then Tmobile broke my internets this morning. Ill start typing now...

man, i've played timed games in tourneys before and they fucking suck. i understand the reason, but if there is anyway we can play the 1/4s without timed games, we should try to.

Cool. Lets see how much time we have after the first round. If that starts somewhere near on time there should be plenty space for more untimed games..

7.33 groups...Who is getting the walk through?

one first round should have 4 teams...

Yeah. Thats my format being destroyed by the ever-late registering riders of naam..I was thinking 7 groups + best 2nd place team* for the final 8.

Happily, it seems I missed out JOL

7 groups of 3, one group of 2? Winners make the final 8...

Umm...lots of speculation, but are there any facts yet? It's only 3 days away!

Yeah. I know. I never write, I never call etc...

Anyway. Here's the plan:

First Round:
10am start

Mini Round Robin in groups of 3, so youre guaranteed at least 2 first round games..

(Thats A vs B, B vs C, A vs C, for the organisationally challenged)

First to 5, or max 10 minute games, which worked well at Shoreditch..
Top team from each division goes through to the knockout finals.

Groups to be drawn at random (It was going to be last night at the BFF. Then I forgot to take the list of teams, so hopefully it'll be tonight at the BFF/Jaguar shoes party, and I'll post the draw on here tomorrow morning)

Final 8 go into Knockout Finals
1/4 Finals played to 5 (Or 15 minute games)
Semi Finals
3rd/4th
Final

(Semis/Finals are untimed games to 5)

Somewhere in there we'll stop for the amazing FGL tricks contest.

Then we get more drunk and play pickup until its too dark, then all back to Hoxton Square for the BFF closing party..

Rules are basically yer standard Brick Lane rules..Anything off a defensive player is a goal, No scoring with the balljoint, etc. Ill type them up properly tonight, but there shouldnt be any surprises..

Balls are the standard street hockey type. I've got the orange eBay ones, but if anyone wants to bring the Franklin ones (or has any left) we can play with those.

If you want to make any additions/subtractions/etc, do it today before the draw tonight...

getting polo set up saturday evening (still make it for 9pm screening of course)

What you talking 'bout? Im going to the 7pm screening. Polo is for cunts. And dont even get me started on films about polo..

Actually, I'd love some help with court building on saturday evening (or even very early sunday if we're really behind..) And if anyone happens to have a van we could use for an hour or two on saturday afternoon, at this point I'd probably have their (very ugly) babies..

Apparently we'll also be needing referees. Even if you only ref a game or two between your own games, the more refs we have, the less each one has to do..

More volunteers would be much appreciated (and paid in beer...)

Yeah Dogs', get it together. Even Oxford have registered ahead of you :)

Anyway, ignoring Bill as usual, here's the current list:

Whos BAD
The fabulous french fuckers
Hugos as-yet-unnamed Other French Team
Zombie RMY
No Sympathy

Oxford Supernova
Oxford Supernova 2 (and 3?)

So if you still havent got your team together (dale), sort it out. It'd be great if we got the teams registered by this weekend, otherwise I'll have to unleash Laura on people (apparently I'm not threatening enough..)
