If you do, you may understand the need for a job. The Bong incident in Nottingham put my job at risk. I dont find that funny! The BUF have acted to make sure it does not happen again. If you want a debate about whether we should have such a "bringing the game into disrepute" clause in the BUA proposal, then make your point. We are waiting. Stig (unamused) ---------- From: sarah gibbons To: britdisc@csv.warwick.ac.uk Subject: Tough on drugs, tough on the causes of drugs Date: 05 March 2001 09:49 Tough on Drugs, Tough on the causes of Drugs! BUF secretary Ben Ravilious unveiled his tough new stance on drug abuse within the ultimate community today. At a press conference held at his local shop in Leicester, Mr Ravilious claimed that he was prepared to take "draconian measures" against any athletes who wilfully "bring the game into disrepute." "Quite frankly, some of these things that ultimate players get up to at tournaments is outrageous! I once saw a player leaving an off-licence with four whole cans of Stella! This is a serious sport for serious people, we'll have no trouble!" Mr Ravilious exclaimed, before resuming his online game of Connect-4 with his Peruvian penpal. Some of the more radical members of the community are shocked by the BUF hardman's tough stance. "It's an open cry of fascism," decried one anonymous protestor, from an unknown location in Nottingham. "Who the f*ck to the BUF think they f**king are? Ann F**cking Widdecombe?" The Society for the Promotion of Naked Ultimate also expressed some concerns. In an official statement to the press, a representative stated that while they had no problems with certain restrictions on prizes, they had reservations about some of the more broad-reaching measures. "Indeed, last year, at a tournament we hosted, we were going to present each team with a king-size dildo. But after careful consideration, we realised that we might offend the highly active ultimate-playing Eunuch community, and some of britain's male players with deeper psychological insecurities." The restrictions imposed upon any game of naked ultimate by a British citizen are explicit. All nude players are now required apply for a permit 6 months before the game takes place. Permits will not be granted to anyone with a criminal record or with an unduly large member (size to be decided by two-thirds majority of a committee of Druid players with no less than 20 years playing experience each) Similar limitations are to be applied to anyone wishing to roll a spliff in a discraft 175. _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
