The Ball Game restarts for its 822nd edition after being stopped for the first time due to Covid restrictions (obeyed by most organisations except Boris own government). Insanity is resumed.
The game is played on Long Street - part of the old Roman Road that formed Watling Street. This was the border between Saxon Britain and the Danelaw after the Viking invasions.

how wonderful to see these reserved civilised english people enjoying their afternoon tea & cream cakes

@tonybino01 2 года назад

This will never happen in the United States. Too many types of people with different history/background and greedy lawyers waiting for lawsuits. That's what the US is now. Too many sensitive, duplicitous, people and a litigious society.

@StickyFeatures 2 года назад

I agree, but that same litigious mindset is in the UK too now and may see an end to a game that is older than many countries. Covid lockdown stopped the game for the first time in 8 centuries.

guns would get involved

Sensitive from a very young age. That’s how they’re raised

Modern society problems. Living in concrete ruins with no happy ending. Meanwhile lots of fresh air and decent people in the country side, untainted by the spirit of Babylon.

@@StickyFeatures It stopped the gladiator football in Florence, Italy too, but like ours, it too restarted.

How do you play this?

How do you tell the difference between the teams?

@clappedoutmotor 2 года назад

You recognise them from the neighbourhoodxprobsbly

@M_richy17 2 года назад

Basically at the end of the game you see the winner and you know what teams he’s off most teams meet at the pub before it starts to get to know them and the faces

If the guy is punching you he's not on your team, probably.

They can tell by themselves I think. One way is one, the other way is the other side.

Rule 1. Ball has to stay on Long Street. Rule 2. Don't kill anyone. Lesson over.

@tofuchicken2 Год назад

so the ball just doesnt move for three hours? still more fun to watch than american football

@ianrocha6854 Год назад

Is it allowed for someone to, take the ball and parkour through the rooftops?

@LandersWorkshop Год назад

It's gotta remain at street level I think.

Aaahh you see these are the other types of activities present in this world apart from the toxic modern entertainment system, if you know where to look for them and try to gain understanding then you might enjoy life a lot better. 😉

@marckemp9955 Год назад

There's someone who's been stalking and harassing me trying to get me to go to ballgames. I'm really tired of her not getting what she wants and then tearing me to pieces. Get it through your head, NO!

@gerryfrancis3350 Год назад

downright bizarre

@carolinemcnulty6169 Год назад

And very sensibly, no women are mad enough to chance it. Only the male of the species are this brave. Most of the activity appears to take place without the ball's whereabouts being obvious..

@StickyFeatures Год назад

Very true

@futurez12 Год назад

There's nothing 'brave' about this. It's just an excuse for men to be violent. If you notice, it's mostly males between the dumb f**k ages of 16-21 (approx). The age range where you have more testosterone than sense. Plus a few older man who'll _never_ grew up.
