More exciting than the areas?

We have a perfect bridge for pooh sticks quite locally. We make a trip to it fairly often! (God I love being mature)

Have you tried Pooh Chips?! Same principle obviously, but the added excitement of seeing which "sticks" get munched by ducks.
Hmmm..... must remember to get a life one day! :shock:

Perhaps we could get a tMP sponsored event here by getting all conductor members of the forum to use their batons for this purpose!

I did wonder what it had to with Pooh, was a bit confused until i read the last paragraph.

I have a colleague who was deeply disappointed to discover that he's been spelling it wrong all these years... :shock:

Or we could just chuck all the conductors in and see who floats best!!
If its good enough for Eeyore.... :lol:

[Dave Payn]

Alex, what makes you think any of us would float??? ;-)

:lol:

One would have to log the best times, of course.........

 

[Naomi McFadyen]

:lol: yup!

 

[lynchie]

ah, i remember many years of playing this game... need to get out and do it again i think! Although without a stupid labrador (don't worry, he was mine...) fixing the result by jumping on one of the sticks, it might not be as fun...

 

[Aidan]

will we be changing to an open adjudication on this one then?? or will it still be fairer with closed?

 

[Naomi McFadyen]

definatly open... May need a photo finish as well

;-)

 

[Dave Payn]

Adjudication? Closed. Airtight container. Anchored to the bottom of the river. :twisted: :lol: :lol:

 

[Sam Atherton]

... and at least two adjudicators!
