    Duzzy....oh wait.

    Did you guys use to play fizz-buzz as well? Many an evening of ridiculous booze consumption over that one as a filthy layabout (sorry, student)

  • Bunnies was the huge drinking game in my old Cricket/Hockey club. Man you'd get pissed quick if you weren't paying attention.

    I really hope there are some major reductions to be had after the games, cos I love the british cycling olympic shirt, but I ain't paying £67...(i am tight.....)

    Oh come on it's better than the official logo or the mascots, lot more appropriate for your weather.

    Do they come with handlebar attachment? :shock:

    I'm sure if you search online you could buy the merchandise far cheaper direct from the Chinese sweatshop where it's all made.

    Likewise. And it doesn't contravene rule 16 because I'm a BC member.

    There's official merchandise going for half price in Sainsburys already.

    Can't imagine that's gong to win anyone a promotion at head office.

    I did not know that. It explains why he was so pissed-off afterwards and didn't talk to Brad for a while. According to Brad's autobiography, he (Brad) lost focus before the Madison which is why they lost. Cav knew this and resented it. I guess Brad has had to work on their relationship to get to the point where Cav is willing to go back to the team car an load up with water bottles.

    I am completely baffled by this thread..

    WW2 U-Ducks, promotional ducks for t'lympics?! WTF? Have I missed something or are rubber ducks taking over the world?
