WORLD
BOWL 2000 PART II - FRIDAY to PREGAME
|
|
Later on Thursday was another Apfelwein drinking competition. It's all smiles here with Vanessa and Daniela, but the King of Apfelwein had to arrive to drink everybody under the wooden benches … |
|||
|
Yes once Mr. Andy Colvin turned up and started knocking back jars of the stuff, the Cheddar boys were bushed! Andy retained his title in a Tyson-esque knockout! |
|||
|
Friday: Johannisfest, Mainz |
|||
|
Big party in Mainz, full of wine, beer, bands and 12 inch sausages! But alas the legendary Bosnian Wedding Platter that Sky's Mike Carlson raved about was nowhere to be found. |
|||
|
Saturday: Parties and Waldparkplatz |
|||
|
OK so we didn't get Bill Maas cheddared - but we do some have full feeling in all our limbs. Instead we decided to pick on easier, less threatening targets - Sally Tossell come on down! |
|||
|
Karsten from Bowlhunters (www.thunderland.de) and Petra from fans.united.de (www.fans-united.de) get Cheddar hugged. Petra was part of the amazing BBQ set-up the next day at the Waldparkplatz which was totally awesome! |
|||
|
Would you buy First Downs from this man? Of course not! He was giving them away! |
|||
|
After crashing the Media Party it was time to head out to the Waldparkplatz for some all-night BBQ'ing. Wake up Fire Brother! |

Oh-oh - Montse starts laughing and the rattlesnake is released! And that rattlesnake would be back out in the wee hours of the morning, when the nights events unfolded and a boxing legend was born. On our taxi back to the Hotel at dawn, Steve "Touchdown Claymores" Dalgleish unleashed a ferocious one-two combo punch on a unsuspecting driver from his back seat. It all seemed to start when he tried unsuccessfully to put his back window down and was refuted. So in retaliation, "Rocky" let fly as the taxi was speeding down the autobahn. Naturally the driver threatened to toss us right there and then (he was already unhappy about the 4 in the back seat), but after some major calming and the promise of a good tip ("Keep you guard up") he continued on. As he dropped us off at the hotel he innocently asked the question - "Is it usual in Scotland to punch the driver?" Hilarity ensued! |

|||
|
Awesome BBQ as we already said. Never have so many Scots been fed so efficiently! |
|||
|
World Bowl Baby? Nope - an inflatable beach ball and an empty bottle of Claymore! |
|||
|
Make your own cheddarhead German style with some red scotch tape! |
|||
|
Good to see Lorne "C" Callaghan made it after all! What? That isn't Lorne??? After a week's workout Shuggie was still a poor imitation … |
|||
|
There was a game to be played at Waldstadion eventually … |
