    Take Hammond out of the equation, and Reading are a good club in a lot of ways. Employing a scunthorpe doesn't make the whole club a bunch of scunthorpes.

    Lest we forget that not so long ago, we employed Mark Ashton.

    Can't agree so will have to differ. People have short memories - if BR had chosen to stay with us everyone here would be still saying what a great bloke he is and what a great manager he is etc etc. I hate the fact that for one mistake - his integrity comment everyone jumps on the let's hate BR bandwagon. I have always supported the underdog and avoided joining the herd - to me this is just a case of everyone saying the same thing and not really bothering to remember that he turned our season around and paved the way for Malky to take over - still I am flogging a dead horse so will shut up :)

    Dwile flonking requires two teams and an umpire to hold court. One team start as fielders, and form a circle, known as a girter around a member of the opposing team, known as a flonker. The flonker is armed with a two foot stick known as a driveller, and at his feet is placed a large bucket of beer, with a cloth in it known as the dwile (a word apparently stemming from a Norfolk term for a dishcloth).

    The game start with the members of the girter dancing in one direction, whilst the flonker spins the opposite way round. The flonker flonks the dwile at the opposing team, by snagging it from the bucket with the driveller, and flicking it backwards over his head, and trying to hit one of the people in the girter.


    As any fule kno............!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Part 2.......
    Scores are based on the part of the body hit by the dwile:

    Head shot (known as a wanton) - 3 points
    Body shot (known as a marther or a morther) - 2 points
    Leg shot (known as a ripple or a ripper) - 1 point

    A miss is known as swage and two swages equals pot. If you are unfortunate enough to pot you must down a pint from the bucket before the dwile can be passed round the girter, and the next member of the team steps up to play. When all the team members have played their turn , the two sides switch places and start all over again. Each rotation is known as a snurd, and there are two snurds per side in a game. To keep the game interesting, the umpire randomly switches the direction of the dancing, and levies drinking fines on those not taking the game seriously enough. The main aim of this pastime seems to be to get as many people as drunk as possible.


    Im not making this up.........


    is this in the wrong thread../?????????***
