Beach VolleyBall.

Recommended Posts

Apparently it's one of the fastest growing spectator sports.


And heaven knows why, I mean super-fit players wearing a tiny kit & diving all over the place, isn't everyone's cup of tea.

However, there is a new Beach VolleyBall court being built at the National Stadium, Crystal Palace.

Tempting as it was I didn't want this to be a titillating "Oooo look at the buns on that" thread.


I'm genuinely excited about the new court being built at the National Stadium, Crystal Palace.


I even hope to play there myself sometime, body holding out and all that.

I gather that they will be practising at CP - added to which the Brazilian Women's Beach Volleyball will be descending upon CP in the lead up to the games (which has caused local gents to perk up somewhat!).


Edited to add that the Brazilian Olympic team will be using CP as their training base - so a bit of a perk up for the ladeez too! http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?20,735424,735911#msg-735911

Let's be honest, part of the attraction of beach volleyball is the 'close fit' apparel, somehow the thought of Netty prancing around in her scuzzy baggy bloomers doesn't do it for me...cue gratuitous titillating "Oooo look at the buns on that" pic...well, it is Friday

    • Hmmm, millions of animals are killed each year to eat in this country.  10,000 animals (maybe many more) reared to be eaten by exotic pets, dissected by students, experimented on by cosmetic and medical companies.  Why is this any different? Unless you have a vegan lifestyle most of us aren't in a position to judge.  I've not eaten meat for years, try not to buy leather and other animal products as much as possible but don't read every label, and have to live with the fact that for every female chick bred to (unaturally) lay eggs for me to eat, there will be male that is likely top be slaughtered, ditto for the cow/milk machines - again unnatural. I wasn't aware that there was this sort of market, but there must be a demand for it and doubt if it is breaking any sort of law. Happy to be proved wrong on anything and everything.
    • I don't know how spoillable food can be used as evidence in whatever imaginary CSI scenario you are imagining.  And yes, three times. One purchase was me, others were my partner. We don't check in with each other before buying meat. Twice we wrote it off as incidental. But now at three times it seems like a trend.   So the shop will be hearing from me. Though they won't ever see me again that's for sure.  I'd be happy to field any other questions you may have Sue. Your opinion really matters to me. 
    • If you thought they were off, would it not have been a good idea to have kept them rather than throwing them away, as evidence for Environmental Health or whoever? Or indeed the shop? And do you mean this is the third time you have bought chicken from the same shop which has been off? Have you told the shop? Why did you buy it again if you have twice previously had chicken from there which was off? Have I misunderstood?
    • I found this post after we just had to throw away £14 of chicken thighs from Dugard in HH, and probably for the 3rd time. They were roasted thoroughly within an hour of purchase. But they came out of the oven smelling very woofy.  We couldn't take a single bite, they were clearly off. Pizza for dinner it is then. Very disappointing.
