airpig. it was back end of 81. the game was carrier deck landings - there will be a thread on that somewhere. the stude - SM - had those lovely slippy slidy mess shoe soles, missed the launch and embedded jaw/teeth into the table resulting in tracheotomy, rebuilt jaw and recourse onto my BFT!!

A chicken gets used as a ball at my rugby club dinner. I confirm it makes a terible mess. Last event was in May. Does that count? (Thought not.)

My Mess usually just confines itself to broomstick tug of war, the shell case game, (does it have a proper name?) and deck landings. The table tops have been badly damaged on many an occiasion. Of course when we get new members we have burberry submarines and lancaster bombers. No one gets hurt in those only wet. Oh yes we did make a young lady throw when she touched Nelson's eye, that was fun!:ok:

Nelson's eye? New one on me - please enlighten us.

Presumably the 'game' stops when the chook snuffs it?

Nelson's eye? Sorry can't give the game away. Lets just say its the "feel" version of the tomato ketchup sachet "visual "joke in Hot Fuzz.
