Sticker up's a wanker!Back when I was a high pitched/deep gruff teenage soapdodger in sunny Scummerset, I got the gig to be the Railway Club's Skittles team Sticker Upper. For those of you not Cider addled or who don't have an Uncle Dad, Skittles is a pub "sport" similar to ten pin bowling, only with 9 pins and not strictly spherical balls (ooer). The job of the Sticker Upper is to stick the skittles back up after they've been knocked down. Easy!
The Railway club chaps would ply me with just enough booze to keep me on my feet and encourage me to help them out (cheat). Giving rolling pins a little nudge to knock down more for them or stop the other teams pins from rolling at all.. I'd also get to play regularly when they were a man short and sing humilating songs to the other team's Sticker Up that I'd otherwise be on the end of.
While every other team's Sticker Upper would be the bored sullen son of a player getting paid a couple of quid, I'd get a tenner, booze, fags and dinner.
Good honest nights work that. Ooo aaarrr
