Now hang on joust a minute!!! How can he make ends meet charging around like that?!?!?

[P5BNij]

I bet he gets some stick...

Went to see him performing at the Tower of London a couple of summers ago. There was a bunch of them in the moat. They do film work needless to say.

Those poor horses!!! That's pretty unfair to make them swim while jousting!!!!

[DickyC]

Here he is, teaching horsemanship.

[DickyC]

No, you missed him.

Forgot to mention the moat at the Tower is dry these days.

Oh, right, so no horses and knights paddling around then?!?!

No we did see him, we're watching it since you mentioned it, and I must say it's very entertaining!!!

[DickyC]

He's very touchy feely, isn't he? Danny Dyer, I mean, not nephew Stephen.

[DickyC]

Enjoyed that.

It's OK, they use water polo ponies, they are quite used to it!

If it's really windy, they use white horses instead.

Well that's ok then, does that mean when they joust in Scotland they use Shetland ponies???

Morning chaps I had a rubbish night's sleep!!
Why is it I can have a few good night's sleep then my brain decides "right then, let's wake up every couple of hours!!"?

Shetland ponies? Those are just used in the Islands by the native Shets.
There are no horses for jousting in Scotland, Bobbers, because horses are terrified of the haggis. Having no antlers like the magnificent Monarch of the Glen for self defence puts the horse at a huge psychological disadvantage when confronted by one of these vicious critters:



That is why haggis hunting is usually undertaken on foot but with coconut shells to simulate the sound of hooves.



As for your brain interrupting your sleep, that is just a battle of wills that you can overcome with meditation and years of rigorous training.
As you get older, however, you will find that it is impossible to win the nocturnal fight against the bladder.

PAH!!! We have one of those buggers cut in half in the freezer!!! I've yet to decide what to do with it though.............

[DickyC]

Arrangements for the forthcoming Moat Jousting Tournament are coming along apace. The current thinking is to stage the event along the shallow - undredged - section of the moat beneath the drawbridge.

Whatever you do, do not defrost it!!!

And be very very worried about the other half coming for you!

You may, but no tilting dishonourably, please. Don't use being low down to your unfair advantage and spear your opponent in the leg or any of that ungentlemanly nonsense.

[glenrobbo]

I would sack that bloody farrier! Those shoes are the wrong bloody size.
