At the request of Meg I have purchased some clothes for my Avatar!

Personally I liked the pink bikini!!!

Need to do some needless blogging so I can afford to buy a ball!

If anyone wants to donate me their points - i'll take them! :)

[Polo Boy]

Or we could just leave alot of pointless comments on this thread :p

[Alistair]

looking very smart, but still grumpy!!!;)

[Laurel]

Hello up there in Scotland! :wavey: If you want points you can always contribute to the 'Joke of the day' thread in the 'Off the water' Forum - it's always good to find something new to laugh at on there :D

[alison_b016]

hmm - need to look out my joke book in that case.

Not good at jokes - sarcasm on the other hand...

[Polo Boy]

Meh, not good at jokes really....

[alison_b016]

Need a pointless post to be able to afford a polo ball - so here it is

[Hibrace]

You posted it on Georges thread!

[Polo Boy]

I dont know what i want to buy next... what do you think a spray deck or a BA?

[Hibrace]

BA in case you swim like your DAD!:D

[alison_b016]

You posted it on Georges thread!

I thought you might like the idea of playing in England, give you a chance to experience the next level of polo.

George, Ali and the west lothian team played in div 4 and 3 a few years ago and got promoted to div 2 this year but didn't play - there's a very high level of polo that you've yet to experience!

[Polo Boy]

Well the problem is NO ONE WILL TAKE ME!!!! :mad::mad:
:D

[alison_b016]

Find someone with a car

or save up, get some lessons, buy a car and take a team :D

[Polo Boy]

Ive booked my test thank you very much :P But i wouldnt feel comfortable taking 5 people in a 106 just after passing my test all the way to england and back... though maybe later :)

[Steve Carter]

Buddy come down and visit me down south. Im in bedford but ill take you to trainin down in Luton. If you drive you can bring boat.

[Alison]

Being relatively new to this forum I was wondering about getting an avatar, mystery solved. Ill try and add a few pointless posts myself...

[Steve Carter]

i feel the need to add a pointless text in order to gain an avatar.

[Polo Boy]

I Agree With Stephen :)

[Steve Carter]

Good man. You headin to irish open?

[Polo Boy]

Indeed Stevo indeed... U goin with a team? Wot leaugue are u in?

[alison_b016]

He's in Scarlet Men - a sub branch of Scarlet Ladies :p

[meg]

Are you going to the Irish Open Robbie? What team have you put in? (btw next w/e isn't it)

[alison_b016]

he's going to babysit the scarlet baby during our games!

[George]

Steve
I will be bringing a spraydeck for you to Enniskillin. Hope this is ok.
George

[Polo Boy]

Sorry im goin to Eniskillin not the irish open :)

[Steve Carter]

Sorry guys kinda o been away surfin and all that. Afraid i cant make it to Irish thingy, which you guys probably figured out seeing as i am not there now. Sorry. Aint been able to talk as i have been to far from a computer and just too busy. best o luck to all the folks playin.

And out of curiosity what were you insinuating by me being in a sub-braqnch o scarlet ladies??

[alison_b016]

no it was polo boy that the scarlet reference was aimed at

[ClaireJ]

How do I get a scottish flag?

[alison_b016]

don't ask Meg (she lost the team flags on a drunken night out)

we could make you one out of electrical tape!

Or ask Ian S to make up some more for the team!

[ClaireJ]

Meant on here - have a union jack instead on scottish flag

[alison_b016]

d'oh - urm i think you go into options.

Crap postings has allowed me to purchase a red helmet - it was a close call between the helmet and a bright orange pair of shorts!!

[alison_b016]

Try going to user cp > edit details > country > Scotland

Thats the only place i can see that asks about the country you are in.

[Steve Carter]

Hey chaps i know its a fair wee bit away, but anyone available for trainin on the 12th of september??

[George]

OH MY GOD

[George]

Not to you steve, but to the ever dressing alison :eek:

[alison_b016]

that's what happens when you spiel crap online as well as in real life - online you get points to buy random stuff!

as to the 12th - its the friday after the Irish open so I give it a 50/50 chance of me being there!

[George]

Dont worry Steve, I'm sure she will let you know, repeatedly :rolleyes:

[Steve Carter]

I was also wondering if anyone wanted another player for the irish open? I am available and trying to get as much game experience as possible.

[Polo Boy]

Btw steven... u goin to play for us in div 1 this year?:confused::confused:

[Steve Carter]

Not sure yet matey. Depends how funds are. I would like to though.

[Polo Boy]

:(Thats no good cause wee need the players...

[Steve Carter]

Ill get there if i can bro. Just not promising anything. Hows the polo life treatin you anyways. Hows you do in enniskilen??

[Polo Boy]

We did quite well, won div 2 so was a sucssess i would say :thumbup:

[Steve Carter]

Good going bro. most impressive. Who was on the team? Btw i have found a team to play for in the Irish open. Should be such good crack.

[Polo Boy]

Myself, George, Ali McK, Andy, me Dad And Josh. Who u playing for in the irish open then eh? btw, how often u training?

[Steve Carter]

Playing for a newly formed club in bedford. They aint that good but the banter is awesome. They started playing some 6 months ago think. Im trainin for polo about twice a week, however at the moment i'm also trainin for this big 5 kayak challenge thingy in a K1 (so unstable). Why you ask?

[Polo Boy]

Just wanted to know if u were training cause if ur playing for use this year it looks like ull be in the team that does training.

[Steve Carter]

I hoping to be up on the 10th september. Could have a training session the following friday or sometime. If we decide to tell me so i can get my kit sorted, may have to borrow boat and possibly paddle dependent on form of travel up. How often you guys training then? on and off the water? Whos in the team?

[Polo Boy]

When will u be going home? I train on a Monday with Stirling and then on a Friday with anyone who wants to train, both at the uni loch.:thumbup:

[Steve Carter]

I should make the friday, will try and make monday as well. Will also contact Mr Redmond as i may need to borrow boat and paddle.

[Hibrace]

Equipment all available let us know day before.
How long you up?
Scratch tournament on 20th?????

Tournament dates will be posted in couple of weeks. We then need to see what you can and can not make.

Looking forward to decking you...... Grumpy!

[Steve Carter]

Afraid i cant make 20th bro, paddling around the isle o wight. :thumbup:
Should make trainin on the friday and monday after the 10th sept depends on party plans and the like ;)

[alison_b016]

My avatar thread has been taken over - Robbie use a phone and talk to cag boy.

Only silly posts which mean we can buy crap are allowed!

btw - this post means i can afford a BA - how sad!!:eek:

[Hibrace]

Alison
Steven is not Alex
Hibrace is not Josh!

[alison_b016]

They're all the same...

grumpy old men! (some in training)

[alison_b016]

and its confusing that hibrace is josh on the stirling website and chris clark on this one.

and as for cag boy and steven - they are both tall and shoot from miles away. tho to be fare i don't think steven wears a cag year round!

and third and - it would be much less confusing if people used their names instead of an alias

end of rant!

[Alistair]

not like you Al.

[alison_b016]

I know - i'm usually such a quiet thing! :)

[George]

When?

[alison_b016]

when i'm asleep!

[alison_b016]

see random posting is good - means i'll soon be able to afford a number 11 on by BA - I have to buy 2 1s!!! - unbelievable! :rolleyes:

[George]

Don't believe you, bet you snore or talk!
Are you sure the 2 no 1s will be able to go side by side?? Ah well, if you stick in you may even make it to single digit numbers :D

[Polo Boy]

Omg alison i think uve over taken me in posts and ive been on the site like a year longer than u lol:thumbup:

[ClaireJ]

An entirely pointless post because I want a picture......

[ClaireJ]

And another......(thanks for the 30 sec tip Alison)

[ClaireJ]

And another........oh the joys of unemployment and time wasting......

[ClaireJ]

Now do I want my namesake avatar with pink hair.......

[Hibrace]

pointless like you?

but keep posting and buy some clothes........ please

[ClaireJ]

pointless like you?

but keep posting and buy some clothes........ please

Pointless - moi - how rude!!!!

Look on the brightside though, cartoon me in a bikini is considerably less horrific than the real thing........

[ClaireJ]

Perhaps I could set up a pity charity system......donate me your unused points and I'll put on some clothes.........

[Hibrace]

Go cure people and put some clothes on in case you frighten them to death!

[alison_b016]

Horray welcome to the world of random crap postings!!!

:wavey:

[alison_b016]

3 more posts till i hit 100 - what an achievement! :eek:

[meg]

only 2 now!!!

[alison_b016]

If anyone needs kit delivered quickly go to upandunder.

I ordered myself a palm cag yesterday and it was sent today, hopefully should have it by 2moro night.

got the same one as claire, and hazel... and fi!

[alison_b016]

100 !!!!

:worship:

[meg]

just 1 to go..... go on you know you want to!

[alison_b016]

this thread is now so long there is an option of 'last page'

hmm, maybe it's time to retire this one and start a new pointless posting thread?!?

[meg]

yes, I think so - before it gets shut down by the moderator!

[Alistair]

Congratulations Al, first to 100!!!

[Fiona]

I'm not sure we should encourage her to spout random crap :D

[Fiona]

........but in the spirit of this thread, I've had a fresh coat of orange paste applied to my tooth for Ireland :rolleyes: I wont need to bother putting my paddle up to intercept balls- I'm just going to have to smile!!

[alison_b016]

good tactic Fi!

just packing all the kit I own...

[Polo Boy]

The forums are goin to be really quiet this weekend... i mean alsion acounts for bout 90% or the posts around here :P

[Alistair]

For anyone who doesn't know Alison, its not just on the forum that she spouts random crap. ;)

[alison_b016]

:worship:

yep - spouting crap and being sarcastic seem to be the things I do best.

Don't worry Robbie - I can more than make up for the quietness when I get back :D

[alison_b016]

btw - do you like my deck?:cool:

[Polo Boy]

Nah i think my deck is much cooler... what do u think i should get next eh?
:p

[Hibrace]

A brown paper bag!

[Alison]

Thats a bit gutting, I thought I had enought posts now to get my own avatar but apparently not, so Im going to have to put another useless post up!

[alison_b016]

I think you should save up for a background

[Alistair]

Does that mean the thread continues. :rolleyes:

[ClaireJ]

Looks like it.....when are you getting an avatar?

[ClaireJ]

Another four posts and I can have some shorts.....

[alison_b016]

Ali set the challenge at the weekend - how many pages can this thread be?

[Alison]

Well if everyone keeps posting like this I reckon we can get to ten pages before the weekend!
Did anyone else really not want to go back to work today?

[ClaireJ]

Not back at work.......hence time wasting.......congratulations Alison you have enough for a (semi-naked) avatar!!!

[Steve Carter]

thought i should get in on this random post. I dont mind havin no clothes. Just get the feeling other people dont like it.

[Steve Carter]

i reckon the aim should be at least two pages a week or so with pointless threads

[ClaireJ]

This is it.....time for some clothes.......keep Mr C and the Gunner happy!

[alison_b016]

you could go straight into buying equipment and wear it over the bikini - therefore saving precious points!

Surprisingly by my number of posts today I have also been not at work but sorting out leagues, looking at fablon and generally wasting time!

Roll on 9pm - polo training! :thumbup:

[Alison]

You are right I can now get a semi naked avatar, more time wasted, serves them right for banning facebook at work :mad:

[alison_b016]

Always thinking!:thumbup:

[ClaireJ]

Just found all the polo stuff (should have scrolled down the page - doh!). Can I return my high point shorts for other stuff?

[alison_b016]

nope - no refunds!

nice shorts tho! do they have a scotland flag on the back?

[krazykayaker]

I feel the need to join in on this, not sure I post even close to often enough though :confused:

[krazykayaker]

Ooh, I've made the thread 8 pages though!

[krazykayaker]

Do you think I could add random posting to my skills on my CV?

[krazykayaker]

Ah, there we go, now I need some clothes... But don't have enough points :twocents:

This might take a while!

[Polo Boy]

Now could this be considered as spamming? :p

[alison_b016]

hmm good question - you could start a new thread on that!

[alison_b016]

Only 70 more posts to get the background i want! will i make it by christmas?

hmm topic for a new thread me thinks!

[krazykayaker]

I think at this point, you could almost have an entire thread dedicated to "what merits its own, brand new thread?" :rolleyes:

[Polo Boy]

Ahhh but then surley that should be on the non polo stuff page :P

[alison_b016]

i think we should keep pointless threads on our own forum and not spread to the wider community!

almost half way there to my underwater background! :thumbup:

[Polo Boy]

I guess, tho i think alot ofpeople are missing out :P

[Alison]

Do you think I could add random posting to my skills on my CV?

What goes on your CV is all spin anyway, put it down as interacting with the wider community or some such rubbish:)

[Alison]

Something is stopping me display my avatar:mad:

[Hibrace]

HUBRIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:D

[Polo Boy]

This thread seems to have died a death... no one got some pointless rubbish they wish to share???

[alison_b016]

nope

[Hibrace]

Are you sure?

[Polo Boy]

I know come on... usally millions :P

[alison_b016]

hmm - half way there to getting my underwater background.

It's not often that i'm lost for words (it has been known! :eek: )

but there's not much chat going on!

[Hibrace]

Wee David says it is what happens on the water that echos loudest :D:Dpaddles are louder than words!:mad:

[alison_b016]

?

[Hibrace]

:D:D:D:confused::D:D:D

[Fiona]

it may just me be, but did anyone else get a shock of their life when they saw how big alisons avatar face has become!

[Polo Boy]

I did get a bit of a shock... maybe it got so big because she hasnt been talkin and its storing up in her head :P;)

[ClaireJ]

Been giving me nightmares. Imagine how loud a magnified head could shout.......

[krazykayaker]

Al's head gives me inspiration for avaoiding being half naked... Despite not being able to afford clothes!!! :thumbup: Now I have to work out how to do it!

[krazykayaker]

Oh, and in other news, I'm going to be back in Scotland :D from the 17th Oct, so any training in or around Edinburgh after that, please let me know!!!!

[alison_b016]

check this avatar out - gives me something to do while I wait to get enough points for my background!

the wonder of a crop tool! :D

[Alistair]

Now her heads grown so much it doesn't even fit at all!!!!:)

[Hibrace]

:D:D:D

[alison_b016]

I am giant! :eek:

[Fiona]

hang on.......yesterday you were saying you were headless..... I didnt witness this phenomenon!!!

[alison_b016]

you were too late!

maybe the giant headless avatar will return at some point!

[Hibrace]

only a giant in your own head:D
