Beefy's Corner - The Off-Topic Chat Thread

It won't be so much insulting him as just listing the reasons why he's not ready to be a proper grown-up, and repeatedly telling his girlfriend "good luck" and "I'm so sorry". The list will involve things like when he stabbed himself in the leg with a steak knife, and when he spat in my mouth. Stuff like that.

We've had a bit of a bromance for the past 10 or so years and were always obviously going to be each other's best man, so it was actually pretty redundant when he actually asked me. But yeah, I guess in a lot of cases (perhaps even the majority?) there's not a clear cut favourite for the position. You could possibly do some sort of weird thing where you have two, which I think happened in at least one episode of Friends and seems perfectly plausible. If you don't care about tradition and the religious side of it and all that nonsense, it should be fine.

 

Yeah, things often don't quite go right for Nicky. I think people like him because he isn't the fastest rider out there, but you know he'll give absolutely everything. It's because of that attitude that he won the Championship in 2006. Vale/Cappi were the fastest guys out there but Nicky kept plugging away. Of course, I'll never forget Estoril 2006, courtesy of then rookie Pedrosa and Toni Elias. And of course, Vale slipped off in the final race, and Nicky rode a stormer. Also, if I remember correctly, Troy Bayliss came back to MotoGP for one race as a wildcard, and walked away from the field, with only Loris Capirossi on the other Ducati, managing to get anywhere near him.

Funny, people forget that the Ducati was a beast in 2006-07. Capirossi was going for the title on it, when he got taken out halfway through the season. And of course, Stoner stormed away on it the next year. The Ducati was a good bike, but it's now been well overtaken. Going all carbon fibre did their development no favours at all. And in 2006, it had already put paid to Marco Melandri's MotoGP career.

 

Yeah I think people do that quite a lot, or at least it's happened in some of these speeches I've been googling, they've picked their brother and best mate or something.

 

Yeah, thinking about it a little more I suppose it's not as easy to get away with in golf. All cricket bats look pretty much the same without their branding while two sets of unbranded golf clubs may still look significantly different. Hopefully he sees sense and goes back to what works. Or gets Nike to create a set of clubs he can actually play with...

 

Haha I thought of Friends straight away as well. Obviously what you need to do is have one of them become a minister over the internet and perform the ceremony dressed as a WWI soldier whilst the other can perform the best man duties.

 

In the meantime, if punters want to play golf like Rory McIlroy used to, they shoukd seek out a set of his old Titleist models.

 

Aww that poor girl. Sounds good then, embarrassing for the groom but not offensive, sorted!

I think Friends tried to find awkward ways around it like making Joey the vicar. I'm trying to remember back to all the wedding episodes now! But yeah if things stayed as they are now then I'd probably end up being best man for both of them while they battled it out for my love. Simple solution is not to get married I guess. Would solve a lot of life's problems. Surely someone on here has had similar circumstances? (They probably have and have already explained it by the time I'm done typing on this crap.) not that it matters - a marriage is certainly not imminent for me and one of the two friends, and even the other is at least a year from proposing.

 

Don't know if it got mentioned a few days ago, but Sepp Blatter believes there is still time to change the timing of the Qatar World Cup from summer to winter, because of the risks to players health in the heat. I've got a better idea. Just change the venue entirely to somewhere where football is more easily played without risks to players/stadium viewers health. As it stands, I can see this competition ending up being an air-conditioned indoor tournament.

Don't worry dan, no-one will ever love you enough to want to marry you.

 

Good thing I find Thai brides so damn hot. The ones without cocks, anyway.

 

I'm more of a Taiwan man. That's based on the one Taiwanese girl I've ever met. South Korea is good too.

 

I would pretty much go for all of Oriental Asia.

 

ROAD TRIP!

Seriously though, I'm going over there as soon as possible.

 

Two of my Facebook friends have a massive thing for Japanese people (I don't blame them) and actually just got back from Japan. They seem to have both immersed themselves in the culture as they're now JPop fans.

 

Oh I don't think I'll be going that far. They can immerse themselves in my culture.

 

Ha, too right. Apparently the trick to Asia (specifically Malaysia) is to find out where the incredibly racist bits are and avoid them, and you'll be fine.

 

New excellent DTLW thread if you two can tear yourselves away each other's embrace.

 

I'd probably only go to the touristy bits anyway. Normally I like to avoid tourist areas, but in that part of the world it'd probably be sensible, what with all the poverty and crime and all.

 

It's hot and I can't sleep .

 

My mate had two of us as best Man. The other one (the good cop) stood up and said, "I thought the bride looked lovely today and here's FLT to tell you why she married xxx"... That was it!
