Hello! I have my first Kendo Competition this weekend.
On Saturday I will be fighting in a team, we are hoping to do reasonably well, we've got quite a strong team (excluding me obviously). On the Sunday I will be fighting in the individuals where I imagine I'll go out in the first round BUT it'll be fun.

What do you guys do competitively? Anybody want to do something more competitively but tend to plateau? Will I deserve an Ice Cream on the Sunday?

I do nothing competetively
I only compete against my own physical exhaustion.

*kicks you up the cunt*
( Goatworrier had your mum and she was shit, Fri 5 Jun 2009, 9:43, archived)

I do that too, I fight myself on my bike, at climbing and at swimming
at Kendo I fight others to improve myself.

a 99' with bits and juice.
none of this magnum rubbish GMoS

I don't really do anything competitively except try to be grumpiest person in the room
( Mrs Sp@m, Fri 5 Jun 2009, 9:44, archived)

I'm unhappy that, in this day and age, a 99 does not cost 99p.

( Edd: The Unfunny Try-Hard Edgelord, Fri 5 Jun 2009, 9:45, archived)

Our local ice cream van still charges 99p for a 99
Also sells popping candy and screwballs.
Proper retro

99p ?
When I was a lad an ice cream was ten fucking pee ! Ten fucking pee !

Now it's £1.20. What else has gone up a thousand percent since the fucking seventies ? Nothing.

petrol
cigerettes, booze, cheap whores
( crazyjude is very happy with happytoast and his skill, Fri 5 Jun 2009, 9:52, archived)

Petrol cigs and booze
have all gone up due to tax not inflation
( Goatworrier had your mum and she was shit, Fri 5 Jun 2009, 10:15, archived)

I can remember paying 20p for a can of coke and that's 60p a can,
I considered buying a pot noodle the other day but when I saw that it was on special offer for 99p I thought a quid to make me ill was a bit too much.
( Mrs Sp@m, Fri 5 Jun 2009, 9:53, archived)

Don't get me started!
The fist time I ever went to a petrol station when I was 16 (ish) it was 3s/4d a gallon, about 16p. Oh and beer was 1s/9d less than 10p.

Mountain Dew is being charged at £1 a can
I still buy it though *gurns*
( Methylene Blue - electrohead, Fri 5 Jun 2009, 10:02, archived)

Mine sells screwballs
but not popping candy, he does know everyone over the age of 20 by name in Bradford though as he's been our ice cream man for as long as I can remember.
( Mrs Sp@m, Fri 5 Jun 2009, 9:51, archived)

I did used to run for a club
but I've been a bit off that recently. I do hope to resume asap.
Yes. Ice cream is good for you.
( Captn Hood-Butter is not dead yet., Fri 5 Jun 2009, 9:44, archived)

I play Smash Bros Brawl online.

( Edd: The Unfunny Try-Hard Edgelord, Fri 5 Jun 2009, 9:44, archived)

i haven't played it for a while and i never bothered with online much
it's fun though
( manolith hooray for me, Fri 5 Jun 2009, 9:45, archived)

I did a sponsored run and got overly competitive and beat all my friends
Does this count?
( The Baroness The Harlot Pimpernel, Fri 5 Jun 2009, 9:44, archived)

Yes, of course it does, it's good to see people actually do what they say they'll do
I HATE RACEFORLIFERS who walk
( GrandmaOfShoes, Fri 5 Jun 2009, 9:45, archived)

It's only 5k
there's no excuse for walking unless you actually have cancer yourself.

And then only if it's in the foot.

29:49 seconds motherfucker

I ran 5k after doing a pint of heroin with one of my legs hanging off after a wolf bit me
I did it in 27 mins 40

i'm doing a half marathon in norway in january in the snow under the northern lights oh god i'm excited

( manolith hooray for me, Fri 5 Jun 2009, 9:51, archived)

you carried me on your back as well because if I remember correctly I really needed a poo and if I walked I would have brownloaved it.

( GrandmaOfShoes, Fri 5 Jun 2009, 9:50, archived)

Oh yes
and we used a hippo to plug your bumhole up so I was carrying you AND a hippo.

Without carrying those and not having had the wolf-bite I think I would have done it in about 5 mins. If I'd not had the Heroin I might have finished half an hour before I started.

you should have punched him in the head at 26.30
and sprinted off over the finish line spraying shit on everyone

( GrandmaOfShoes, Fri 5 Jun 2009, 9:46, archived)

Usually!
I like to think i'm quite good. That said I'm playing my bro this arvo, I haven't seen him for about 3 months and he has been having lessons.

Drinking
And, yes you should have ice cream.

You drink competively?
What does the winner get other than Cirrhosis of the liver?

I used to fight in competitions (won gold at Reading Open) until I snapped my bottom :(
Then it was FPS games which isn't as cool and battle of bands.

I'm not a sporty type
