Albert Tatlock Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 On Saturday I saw some of this from a distance whilst in Winchester, which also qualifiers as 'other poon'. Two other notable matches are Herman Pot and Poon Pot. Both are played on the morning of the last day of Common Time. Herman pot is played by the VIth Book I men from Trant's and Phil's. These two houses are traditionally two of the strongest Winkies houses and they are both on Culver Road (as such it is a Culver Road Derby). The match is attended by both houses in full and, as all the players are out of their usual position and slightly the worse for wear, it's quite an entertaining game. The result is always twenty seven and a half all. Poon Pot is the same premise but played between Beloe's and Furley's (a Kingsgate Park (KP) derby) and is always refereed by Mr. Nevin. Recently these two matches have been copied with matches between Hopper's and Cook's (Edgar Road derby) and College and Toye's (Kingsgate Street derby) also being played.Jun XXIIs ( also known as II v XXII) used to be another end-of-term game, although somewhat less competitive as the score was by tradition seventeen and three quarters all. It was played between the junnest (that is, lowest in order on their scholarship roll) twenty-two Collegemen who were not otherwise engaged and two top-year Collegemen, usually including the captain of College VI. It was refereed by the Aulae Prae, who would award free busts to all and sundry, giving any reason he chose. The jun men would hot in single file. The Bogle Prae (the most Sen Collegeman to keep a bicycle in College) would cycle up and down Ropes, and the crowd would periodically throw buckets of water over the players. During the mid-1980s, prior to the innovation of the buckets of water, the crowd would throw carrots onto the canvas, which were picked out of the mud and consumed by the referee of the time, College Tutor John Hunter Durran. Afterwards, a Hot was held in Logie, the stream which runs between the College buildings and the Warden's Garden. This previously annual game has been discontinued, as the throwing of water onto the pitch was deemed to damage the playing surface. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Inside of Outside Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 ^^^^I understood exactly none of that. Well, I understood that a Mr. Nevin refereed something, but other than that, I got nothing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

NoJ Posted January 20, 2016 Author Share Posted January 20, 2016 Today I'm still thinking about the Charlie Rose and Sean Penn interview regarding El Chapo that I watched on Monday night. I had no idea Sean was that well spoken and intelligent. I was impressed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lammycat Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 What was the gist of the meeting between El Chapo (or, loosely translated: "The Short One") and Spicoli? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NoJ Posted January 20, 2016 Author Share Posted January 20, 2016 El Chapo was looking to set up a connection for good smoke. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It pretty much snowed every day from Thanksgiving until the middle of April. We have a fishing cottage that we would have to go shovel the roof off and then used it to slide off into the snow. Good times. The bonus to growing up like that is that I am a champ when it comes to driving in the snow. It's all the other idiots I worry about. I was in Connecticut when we had that crazy Halloween storm, some of my friends were out of power for 12 days. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
