UK Championship 2010 - the contenders!

[Ironjaw]

Many LOLz.Man/Lighthouse indeed.

It's amazing how many of my insults are regurgatated. Id like to copyright the following slurs:
Mumbojerry
Rycos (and for taking Pippys 1/8 chinese rumour way too far)
Lighthouse
Stick is a [insert insult here]
Steve Tyler
Dude looks like a lady
The mouth
Russian doll
JOO-MAN-JI!?
Purdindas-crispy-pancakes
Citizen While
My shit impression of PubBowler
I'll concede
Fat Steve
Gegg the shred
Hitler
Poor-Tit
Egon
My rubbish dutch accent
Soft male chicken

He's the only BB player with his own theme song ...

I'm gonna have to correct you there Manj, as we all know Rycos' theme tune "Virginia Plane" by Roxy Music...

‘One eighth Chinese’ is my intellectual property (I first heard the rumours about Dave’s oriental lineage) so you owe me royalties for Rycos. To be fair, it wasn’t exactly a stroke of genius after ‘murtipre brock / bleak tackre / very rong regs’ etc. etc…

While we’re on, I’d like to claim full credit for the gut charge. I told Schmee to challenge MW to a gut charge when he was steaming pissed. The rest is history.

I’d also like to claim coinage of ‘Eggster’.


Anyway, back on topic. While we wait for full Poo placings from Stick_in _a_bun, here are the top three contenders for the UKC as it stands:

10 points Rycuros
9 points Satchmo
8 points The Capitalist (Jim Slater)

There's no way that would've spread beyond you if I hadn't pushed the idea. I took the original idea and turned it into a behemoth. A bit like Alexander graham bell did with the telephone.

You snooze, you lose Elisha Gray,

[Grumbledook]

nice to see everyone put some effort into their team names

[Pug]

Daddy Whiles "Whispering Eye" team name made me giggle on the day!!

[Podfrey]

nice to see everyone put some effort into their team names

Or the effort to at least turn up....


BTW Leona, "Poor-Tit" was being uttered by Daz a looonnnngg while ago

[Grumbledook]

I'm too short to be in two places at once

[PeteW]

Hey, my team was called "Stick Sucks", not "Stick's biters".

So you get one point for turning up? Nice idea. Has Uncle Rycos agreed to this?

[Grumbledook]

dunno where the rules are at all regarding this tbf

[Joemanji]

He suggested it. That's how I read one of his posts in the other thread. I am happy to be corrected, but I think its a nice touch.

[Grumbledook]

I don't think it will make any difference as to who wins it if it is still top 3 that count

dunno which tournaments count for that matter either ;]

Lycos’s odds have shortened massively after yet another UKC victory.

Some new contenders for the title:

Nipples 15-1
The Man with the Golden Nipples burst onto the big stage at Waterbowl with an unbeaten display, narrowly missing out on his maiden tournament victory. He has learned to draw upon the energy of his growing fan-base to aid him in times of difficulty.

Mumbojerry 20-1
One of the game’s nice-guys, mumbo dominated Waterbowl 2010 until an uncharacteristic final-round choke squashed his title bid. Affable yet supercilious, Oxbridge Nick floats through the tournament scene with a disarming arrogance. Despite protestations about taking time out to complete his PhD, the BB ‘champ’ will definitely be one to watch as the season progresses.


Ironjaw 25-1
Having recently won his long and brave battle against mental illness, Leon is now back and he answered his critics splendidly with an excellent Waterbowl. Even so, a draw against (an albeit reinvigorated) Schmee will leave many pundits asking harsh questions. Most would agree however that if he can get his head right and conquer his hatred of everyone and everything in the world, then anything’s possible.

Ambush3 18-1
Ambush3 has long lived in the shadow of his father the legendary Ambush2 who dominated the LRB1 tournament scene in the late 90s. Since Ambush-junior won Tritex’s big money tournament last year, he has increased in confidence and has become a regular fixture on the top tables. Frazer’s grandfather Ambush1 never played blood bowl.
