A what??

Sorry Jim, I missed this. A conker fight. Well this consists of a Horse Chestnut (conker) which is attached to a length of string via a hole drilled through the centre with a large knot on the end. The "conker" rests against the knot and you take it in turns to swipe your conker against your opponents until one of them breaks. The winner is the one with the complete "conker" at the end of the fight. If you beat a 2o'er( one that has beaten 20 others) you add that to your score ie. you add 20 to your 15 and yours becomes a 35'er. Clear as mud?

Tony.

ps. And we dominated the globe a 200 years ago, scary, isn't it?

Yes I'm pretty sure you can order when you get there as it's a normal Sunday after all. I was just hoping to give Paul and Julie a little heads that's all. Looking forwards to meeting you,

Tony.

 

[tower]

OK,we're staying at Market Rasen,so not far hopefully get there early. The feelings mutual,always good to put face to name

 

[miller1098]

I always like an excuse for a road trip....I think I've found one. Tony has a nipple,I need a nipple ,so i need to get my hands on his nipple.This could be the perfect opportunity and I'm not shy but on the other hand I don't want to embarrass anyone,so please say if you are offended to see nipples in public,I could always get it in the toilets or round the back?

 

[t-tony]

You're saying that you want to come up here and take hold of one of my nipples?

Tony.

 

[t-tony]

or round the back

Easy tiger, I'm not that sort of boy

Tony.

Actually Sarah and I will have been married for 29 years on the 13thsept and I had mentioned a dirty weekend,that usually means her watching me ride my dirt bike.Wont this be a surprise!watching me get hold of Tony's nipple.Still not quite what she probability hopes for but hey we were together for 6 years before we were married,I think she's starting to get used to me now.I don't know how many you have on the list but put us down at No13 it's quite long time away and I'm not very good at planning that far ahead but if I had a diary I would of marked it in

This is a true story.
My dad used to work with the Norwich Union in Salisbury and they got a claim in from the MOD after a car hit a tank at one of the road crossings where they have warning signs up for tanks crossing.
The car had taken the tank out........!
