heres the polo map link, thursday we are goin up to home of NS.. it's only up the road from Downham, and about 8 miles from hammersmith.

Nah, took me the best part of an hour to get home and - because my bars were so high - my coccyx was at a weird angle to my saddle and the ride was playing havok with my junk. Just cooked and chilled.

I didn't bother checking for polo to be honest, as the rule of thumb is normally no polo on Monday or Friday nights in the North East.

Greasy Slag · 16th June 2009

Arkrrum.... watch out on those roads!

re: 2 on 2 tourney i believe i am playing with Ed, but i want to hold the right to swap should Ed get crap when he is in the sticks working in tescos and not playing Polo ;)

Dessi - want to be my reserve team mate

Harry.Major · 16th June 2009

Wayne: It was good. One of the reasons I've not got round to sorting my BB out.

alockett · 16th June 2009

Are you guys heading over to NE's this Thursday, I heard a rumour.

big daddy wayne · 16th June 2009

Ladeees and genkelmeennnn

Cheers BDW!
I am indeed trying to get another laydee along - we shall see!

On a separate note - not sure if I can make it for the NE invasion on Thursday :(
I have to get the polo steed fixed up (not literally 'fixed' tho) cause I don't reckon I'll make it there and back in one piece otherwise!
Brake is screwed and I need to sort the gearing to something resembling a usable gear. And the stem...the stem....ahhhhh!

I'll keep you posted tho....

Mrlemon · 16th June 2009

My left knee is a fetching shade of blue/purple today. good games :) looking forward to the NE invasion come thursday. I <3 Polo.

aufbruch · 16th June 2009

A few people mentioned they wanted balls (I owe Prav a couple for example) so I was going to make an effort to get hold of some. What's the preference regarding orange/red and who would want in on any I got hold of?

moog · 16th June 2009

I'll take two off you if you get some, red (super high density) preferred if you can get hold of them but the orange ones are also fine.

provenrad · 16th June 2009

I have no idea... search for the Balls group buy in polo category.
I think the darker ones are softer.. er... or something,

aufbruch · 16th June 2009

Yea the reds are for hot weather but apparently that means over 70 (IE about 21c). I just wondered if you wanted to specify what you wanted :p

provenrad · 16th June 2009

polo balls.

provenrad · 16th June 2009

and I also want a shorter wheelbase.

aufbruch · 16th June 2009

polopolopolo

moog · 16th June 2009

List?
moog: 2 red, 1 orange

provenrad · 16th June 2009

perhaps some 410mm axle-crown forks with 25mm negative rake and a 260mm steerer.

aufbruch · 16th June 2009

you are sick

dante · 17th June 2009

List?
moog: 2 red, 1 orange
dante: 2 red, 2 orange

aufbruch · 17th June 2009

moog: 2 red, 1 orange
dante: 2 red, 2 orange
prav: 1 red, 1 orange
aufbruch: 1 red, 1 orange

Only 6 reds available I'm afraid so any more will have to be orange. The good news is that it should only be a few quid per ball. Was thinking about sending the order off this afternoon.

Mrlemon · 17th June 2009

moog: 2 red, 1 orange
dante: 2 red, 2 orange
prav: 1 red, 1 orange
aufbruch: 1 red, 1 orange
Mrlemon: 1 orange

moog · 17th June 2009

moog: 1 red, 2 orange
dante: 2 red, 2 orange
prav: 1 red, 1 orange
aufbruch: 1 red, 1 orange
Mrlemon: 1 orange

Changed mine to less reds

Greasy Slag · 17th June 2009

moog: 1 red, 2 orange
dante: 2 red, 2 orange
prav: 1 red, 1 orange
aufbruch: 1 red, 1 orange
Mrlemon: 1 orange
slag: 1 purple

Elguapo · 17th June 2009

moog: 1 red, 2 orange
dante: 2 red, 2 orange
prav: 1 red, 1 orange
aufbruch: 1 red, 1 orange
Mrlemon: 1 orange
slag: 1 purple
Elguapo: 2 Orange ( I would rather have red, If by some miracle they are available)

provenrad · 17th June 2009

Whats all this then?
Why can you only get 6 red balls?
Where are you ordering them from mate?

T4NY4 · 17th June 2009

I'm ok for balls....
....ahem
;p

big daddy wayne · 17th June 2009

Tanya - did you have a chat to Rubes about an adaptor for your stem?

Lukeyb · 17th June 2009

PC's can get em in but you may as well go to Halfords i think there about a 5er. Sorry i had to shoot early this Mon. Anybody want to meet up 4 or 5ish for a knock about / warm up this Thurs then go to the other game?

provenrad · 17th June 2009

I think the ride down to easts is a good warm-up!
I can make it down for an hour of hitting the ball at thunderdomw for 4pm..
aram?

rik · 17th June 2009

people normally came to play from 6 here in NE, so why dont you came a bit earlier, you always can have a knock around here

Greasy Slag · 17th June 2009

Pravy i am going to head out earlier to roll down.. only if we do go early. all gone jamboree at work so early leaves have to be calculated

out of interest.. where the fuck is it?

aufbruch · 17th June 2009

I was going to head for here:

http://maps.google.co.uk/maps/ms?ie=...,0.004967&z=18

provenrad · 17th June 2009

ok Pip, shall we all meet at 4:30 then? What time can you get out.. stop being coy!
cheers rrrik, voice of rrrrreason. claro.
Luke, cancel the thunderdome knockabout, it makes more sense to get up there early.

Greasy Slag · 17th June 2009

ok... 4:30 can be done. i'll be in early. any chance you can bring those cleats? i went past a parked lorry on the way in today and met another lorry overtaking a parked car coming straight at me leaving a gap enough for me minus small turtle head.. .. which worked out well.
i unclipped and just managed to get through the gap.. fking cleats!

That's Mitchison Road where we play when it gets dark. We'll be at the Downham Road court tomorrow.

On the same map marked as NE Court, corner of Downham Rd and Ufton Road.

Given that I live by the NE polo courts, let me know if you want me to repay Monday's favour and show you the way (assuming that you have your polo bike at work, etc).

You've still got my number, right?

Yeah yeah! Definitely! 4pm Thunderdome.

provenrad · 17th June 2009

no, keep reading, RRRIk suggested that we just get to Downham a bit earlier.. so meet PPip at 4:30 at SHepherds Bush grreeen (no public drinking zone) then hit the road. Downham is a little closer.

Elguapo · 17th June 2009

Ok 4:30 Shepards Bush Green. Where on the green? what corner? No public drinking zone? Is that a place?

provenrad · 17th June 2009

nah - was just commenting that you can't even crack a bevvy on the green anymore. cunts.

how about we meet by the tennis courts (corner by uxbridge road).
I'll be riding in really tight circles then falling over..

Not gonna make it tonight guys but have a good time!

1. prav
2. aufbruch (it's only a couple of miles from work so no peloton for me)
3. Slag
4. Elguapo
5. Lemon

Elguapo · 18th June 2009

Prav, I'm confused a bit as to where we are meeting?

Khornight2 · 18th June 2009

Those after red balls, have you noticed the order from the states that may be going ahead? a little more than 6 is possible... I think they are aiming for 300?!

Also I noticed a few westies are on the list for come play polo t's, if you want I can ask Mike to deliver them to me at work (as can anyone that works centrally) and then I'll bring them over to wests?

Have fun tonight.

rik · 18th June 2009

I guess its better for Mike to deliver a few to one person rather than having to meet everyone individually so if you dont mind getting mine off him that would be excellent!
