Touch. What's that all about?

[Hitcher]

Cricket???
AAAAND all the players wear the same colour uniform... WHITE?? What gives?

The ones wearing the pads and holding bats are in the BATTING team. Only raving imbiciles need coloured clothing to figure out the difference...

NASCAR should have a figure-eight track, instead of a circuit.
There should be crocodiles in Olympic swimming pools.
Javelin should be a team event involving a a thrower and a catcher.
Cricket should have an oak tree at cover.
Rugby should have a moat dug through the centre of the pitch. Contents of the moat could be up to the hosts, to add variety and local flavour.
Netball should be played with a medicine ball.
Baseball should be played with grenades.
Soccer should be played on a steeply-sloped pitch.

Raving imbecile? You called - I'm here!!!!!

I like the suggestions, especially the figure 8 track...... Has potential to be very entertaining!

Touch and Grid Iron are both for poofs.

One is non contact (other than a little tickle) and the others wear more pads than a simultaneously menstruating girl guide jamboree.

Thank you for that mental picture.

Actually Touch is how rugby and league players,and netballers, keep their fitness and skills up over summer. You obviously are not in that catagory or you would have known that.

Get fucked mate, I play rugby but I hate touch. Complete waste of time unless you're a mincer that likes pussying around in the backs.

I keep fit over summer by running and hitting the weights. Touch is crap preparation for full contact rugby because it's an entirely different level of fitness. Sure it's a way to keep playing with oval ball when the ground is rock solid but that's where the similarity ends.

What's a "5-star" Sudoku? Same as a "diabolical"?

If so, yes. They just take a bit longer and sometimes require an educated guess somewhere in the solving process.

I remember the first 5-star puzzle I completed, it took me around 7 hours and several attempts (it was the first sudoku I ever attempted)

[insert several attempts at easier puzzles]

the next one I managed to complete in one go, the trick I found is to copy it out onto an A4 sheet of paper and the use a pen for the ones that you "know" are correct and write all the possible combination in pencil and slowly eliminate them one-by-one until none are left.

Cheers - I'll try that.

Meh, your macho talk dosent impress. If you listen to Graham Henry, he prefers his players to be multi skilled. You can still do your weights and conditioning work as well.
Touch has one of the highest amount of participants of any summer sport - for obviously good reasons.

[The_Dover]

Yup, because fewer europeans are playing senior rugby. It's too physical. Junior grades sure, but as soon as you hit seniors it's spot the whitey. I'd rather condition in the off season and spend the pre season and training nights brushing up the real rugby skills and contact fitness. Half the shit you see on the touch field just does not translate to the real game.

Reminds me of when they used to show Kabaddi on English TV. Weird game, everybody holds hands and has to hold their breath when they're in the opposing team's half. I could never figure out how the ref knew you weren't breathing!

They were allowed to breathe when they were in their own half, but not when they were in the other teams half.

The ref knew they weren't breathing (in) because when they were in the other teams territory, they had to go 'kabaddikabaddikabaddikabaddikabaddikabaddikabaddi kabaddikabaddikabaddikabaddikabaddikabaddikabaddik abaddikabaddi'.

kabaddi is the national game of Bangladesh, fact fans.

Sponsered by pubs?
You get to "touch" wimmin without getting smacked in the head?
There are a lot of poofs out there pretending to be rugby/league players?
