British Bulldog

Last night my sister Janet organised a raffle in support of MOTOR NEURONE DISEASE (MND) at a local theatre...... we raised over 300 £ in a matter of an hour....basically because we all blocked the entrance to the theatre with "helpers" so no bugger could get past us. and forced everyone to "buy a ticket".... which was basically just like a game of British Bulldog!(only brit blog reader will remember this school game)
So far over 4000 quid has been raised!

    Interestingly...my kids played this game at elementary school in Canada...that was until the headmaster banned it!
    I like your style!

    Congrats on the fund raising.

    In the summer, a bunch of us got talking about British Bulldog. After a few beers we decided to go into the pub garden for a game. A bunch of passing ramblers took it upon themselves to call the police!

    When they arived, it only took the words "British Bulldog" for them to get back in their car and bugger off!

    It's a passport to all manner of idiocy!

    Thats amazing and I love your tactics. I hated British Bulldog at school. Did you read that they have opened a MND research centre in Sheffield? xxxxx

    Idiot gardener and John!

    the game was also banned in our school (but not in our locl pub!!!)
    as too many kids were injured!

    Diane!
    Yes I knew there is a new research unit for motor neurone disease in sheffield! I have just completed a reference for one of my former staff nurses on my spinal injury unit for sister's position on the new unit!
    and she got the job!

    There is something very special about community minded people!

    I see those new mittens came in handy...and the Matt C. clip was terrific.

    Comments about Sheffield...are you near there? We have friends who live in Sheffield.
