due to a strange hearing malady affecting all three of us, Gripper, Mr S and i were startled to hear sky sports announcing a 'goth tournament'. we weren't sure whether to be upset or not that it was golf..
but.. what categories? how would it be judged? would it be split male and female goth? plus the 'can't tell' category. tattoos? eyeliner use?
is there something like this at whitby? 'bi-annual goth awards'
gother than thou

Categories for a goth tournament:
- Sitting in the corner looking superior
- Sneering at baby-goths
- Sunglasses
- Asking the DJ for a song no-one can dance to
- Goth top-trumps
- Chewing
- Setting fire to the back-comb (added points for green flames)
- Complaining that the DJ won't play the undanceable song you asked for

@MrsRJ, at least the useless 'beam' used to have mirrors on it, so the goths could watch themselves shuffling / stomping towards / away from it.

The HSE would never let that go ahead,to big a risk,them big dangly spider web earings will end up causing eye injurys,too many twisted ankles after stilleto heeled boots sticking into the grass,girls falling over their ankle length crushed purple velvet dresses,people running into each other causing broken limbs and head injurys 'cause they can't see thro' their long back combed hair sprayed fringes,nope,It'll all end in tears!Mrs RicheyJames wrote:I'm trying to organise goffick rounders.

Being brave is coming home at 2am half drunk, smelling of perfume, climbing into bed, slapping the wife on the arse and saying,"right fatty, you're next!!"

Never did the Phono Maypole though; I'm far too ahem energetic a dancer for the goth two-step, as many people who insisted on sitting on the edge of the dance floor found to their extreme discomfort
Hmmm. Should really add the following events though:
Amphetamine fuelled weight loss marathon.
Amphetamine fuelled thousand yard stare (no sunglasses allowed)
Most obscure band tshirt.
Largest rosary.
Ther'll be more
Something pithy.

This thing could run and run...
How about we co-adopt some existing challenges? The difficult ten yard kerb hurdle in knee-length boots? The mighty fifty yard dash for the bus in same boots? The all-defeating Triatholon of getting into a corset, getting into your boots, and getting into your makeup before missing the bus!

You're a shoe-in winner, Dark, so I'm very suspicious of you suggesting it!
