Comedy moments in RW/live event history

[liambryant]

Funny moments for me had to be

Doncaster 2007 : I was filming a battle just minding my own buisness when a pyro went off unexpectedly from the side of the arena causing me to jump and fly backwards followed by Sarah Bell laughing and pointing a finger at me.

UK Champs 2008 : When Dantomkia threw Tanto Jr OOTA towards Geoff where he screamed and I was also filming him (from behind .

I also remember Mark Lumb telling me about when he was trying to get into a car park when arriving at Newcastle for the FW UK Championships 2009 where the team buggered the ticket machine. Thats all I remember but the full story would be funny I bet!

Same language but a huge gulf in meaning......

Tony Booth introducing himself to David Calkins (Commissioner of the RFL) after which David leant over and whispered in my ear saying that he had absolutely no idea what Tony had just said.

Again David Calkins... and the Big Nipper guys - and the negotiation of a bribe to the judges :wink:. David then told Graeme that I was easy and cheap

Matt Maxham's posting on the FRA forum about tossers (pneumatic powered flippers) - then his total embarrassment when it was pointed out to him JUST what it meant this side of the pond

RIAT about 3 years ago - turns up in a queue with Big Nipper boys in front, then me and then (if I remember rightly) John with Beast or could have been Paul with M2. Armed soldier opens back of Big Nipper car - takes one look and turns chalk white. Looks at me - I do this at him and nods then points to the car behind me - that turned out to be the quickest time roboteers have ever got into that place

Classic....

Sorry Mike...

Hi All,

One particular humerous moment that I can recall when we were at the Enginuity event. Near our digs was a small pub as I recall that half of the robot fraternity descended on this pub around 8.30 just after they had closed the kitchen and when they realised how many people there were that were hungry, they decided to open the kitchen and were serving after 11 o'clock and we drunk the pub dry of lager that evening thanks to the mute lads.

Does Swanny remember the soggy lift?

Mark Lumb, a waitress who was the spitting image of Jo Brand...... and a banana split

Theres always been a lot of innuendo involved with roboteers, and a lot of camp comment made, for example, the time myself and Marco decided to share a big dessert between us due to the cost (one that Graeme dawson had eaten by himself!), and the gay comments were coming from all directions, mainly Alan and Dave Young

[liambryant]

What event was that?
