From: GUEST,punkfolkrocker .. sober or drunk.. i dont care any more.. last good arm wrestle i had was on a moutain side in Eastern Europe about 15 years ago.. seems the UK folk elite are a soft upper middle class bunch of privelged effete music college fame wannabes.. lets get a pub table and spill some drinks and ashtrays.. man to man [or girl] arm to arm.. factory town rough boy versus posh aristo country sports thugs.. ..anything to liven folk events up a bit.. [last good arm wrestle i saw at a heavy metal gig.. resulted in a broken arm..!!!!] |

Haven't arm wrestled for a good while, I have apparently fought alongside a Wilson some years ago (about 30years ago!), some one sighed and said, he's one of the Wilsons! Thing is we all have matured somewhat and the violence thing doesn't work. Nor is it a Macho thing. Try sparring with Dianne Easby, she terrifies me, takes no quarter, doesn't suffer fools, now if you could beat her in a battle of words I would be impressed. |

The arms just laid there on the table in the anatomy lab and didn't do a thing. Now, a good bout with swords...and I don't mean sport fencing, but full-contact fighting with sharpened, pointed weapons and none of that sissy chain mail or plate armor.... |
