+Us 4 and Jess Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 (edited) We all seem to be having such a good laugh and a bit of friendly banter over the Girls against Boys bug race, that I thought I might be really daring and do a North against South Bug Race This won't start for a few weeks yet (after the boys and girls one finishes) Posting again Any one up for it ..........and where would you class the dividing line as being (The first 3 or 4 replies will be someone slagging me off again for another postal bug, then we will start taking name) All the usual nutters welcome Please add how many of your team will play and North or South M Edited January 24, 2006 by Us 4 and Jess Quote Link to comment

alistair_uk Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 I like the idea of a North South challenge (that the Northerners will win, obviously) but I think the Mend V Losers challenge is missing the normal magic of TBs. What about having a race where TBs need to be placed in caches somehow. Quote Link to comment
+Pharisee Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 What about having a race where TBs need to be placed in caches somehow. Whooooopppppppeeeee !!! Ok... go on then.... put me down as a 'softy southerner' Quote Link to comment
+thunderbird30 Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 Are we talking Northern/Southern England or UK wide here? If it's UK wide then for me most of you will be shandy drinkers!! Quote Link to comment
+Us 4 and Jess Posted January 25, 2006 Author Share Posted January 25, 2006 (edited) dont you start picking on me Alistair .....I get enough off that Pharisee softy Southerner bloke The bug is for all of the UK Thunderbird30 anyone is welcome to join in we had to make a line somewhere Tis just a game I still think I would be a Northern lass being in Durham, maybe some of them just don't want to be shandy supping Southern softies lol M Edited January 25, 2006 by Us 4 and Jess Quote Link to comment

+HazelS Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 Hang on Mandy... was Pharisee actually agreeing to take part in a postal bug there??? Do we need a fanfare? Quote Link to comment
alistair_uk Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 dont you start picking on me Alistair Sorry, No picking intended. I would also like to say that I don't hold anything against any of the girls team who may be better organised and more capable than us boys, but thay will loose because us boys have, err, umm, well... Okay, I will have to get back to you on that. Go boys go!!! What about having two bugs and a rule that the bug must be logged in to a cache for at least 4 hours before it can be removed again? You are allowed to remove the oppositions bug but you must not take it further than say 2 miles and log it in within so many hours of removing it. The winner will be the team that has moved the bug the most number of times. Quote Link to comment
+Us 4 and Jess Posted January 25, 2006 Author Share Posted January 25, 2006 Hang on Mandy... was Pharisee actually agreeing to take part in a postal bug there??? Do we need a fanfare?

+Pharisee Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 (edited) I still think I would be a Northern lass being in Durham, maybe some of them just don't want to be shandy supping Southern softies lol M I do believe I'm beginning to take offence at your aspersions that we, fortunate enough as we are to live south of the Watford Gap, are all 'Shandy Supping Southern Softies' True.... I can't stand that creamy, smooth-flow, nitro-keg garbage that those unscrupulous northern landlords palm off on your gullible northern menfolk. We are educating you though, albeit slowly. Now, when I stay at the Queen's Head in Stanhope on my caching trips into the uncharted and desolate north, the inn keeper has the decency to remove the 'sparkler' from the pump nozzle before pulling me a pint... and now, without me even having to ask OK... so he still refers to me as 'that daft southerner' but he's learning Anyone who drinks with me will tell you that I rarely drink shandy. In fact, the pub where our local cachers meet for their regular, third Friday of the month, get-together has just won the top award for the best kept cask ale in the whole East Anglia Region. Come down and try a pint of 'Brewer's Gold'. I guarantee you'll never, ever want to see a pint of T*tleys again As this right off-topic, we'd best not let it degenerate into 'pub brawl' or Ecky-dorum will come down on us like a ton of bricks!!

alistair_uk Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 I think I will stay on the sidelines for this one. It is a given that the North will win after all. Quote Link to comment
+doctor scotland Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 (edited) Well, i was born in a barn in Rotherham, under a pylon, next to the motorway and a pig farm - brought up in a shed in Sheffield, and had nowt to eat for 19 years but coal. Me mam and dad kept pigs in the spare room for the local farmer, and once a decade we got an hours holiday down a pit in Barnsley. Me second toes are bigger than me big toes, due to the need, as babies, to crawl us way up hills and slag heaps. I long for real fishcakes - the way they are made in Sheffield, and enjoy drinking Hendersons relish. Though i now live in Bristol, i think i'd have to be on the northern team - some things are just in the blood! Count me in if i qualify! *MOST OF THE ABOVE IS TRUE!* Edited February 5, 2006 by doctor scotland Quote Link to comment
