Well,I suppose it's better than hanging around on street corners.

Well, I was impressed. I mean, she *is* fast.
This week I am eagerly anticipating the first god shots from my La Spaziale machine....

Just imagine the day she realises she has wasted her life on cup stacking :)

Hours of practice clearly all worth it .... not :? . She is impressively fast, but whilst all the kids were jumping about as though they had won the lottery did you see the lady in the while singlet stood behind with her arms folded clearly wondering what the point is, just like we all did? :lol:

"So totally wicked speed sport." I heard him say it. I guess there are no limits to what people will do to be silly. Fun though.
I, however, prefer plate breaking.

Hell why not? I did go to the 'Greek Wedding School of Plate Stacking' some years back. I think I am the most qualified member here and will put on a smashing performance. Naturally I would need corperate sponsorship/clothing/equipment.

I nominate Cakey as my mentor, Soapy as my agent, Beany as my PA and Steve as my Mascot.

If anybody else would like to be my groupie, the more the merrier... ;)

Breako xx

And with spelling like that, one particular candidate springs to mind :wink: How do you look in a footie shirt mate?
