    Re: The return of British Bulldog

    Brings back memories - i remember the school teachers trying to ban it in our school in light of what happened back in 1985. Spose it was still safer than what school kids get up to now

    Re: The return of British Bulldog

    BRITISH BULLDOG - NEW RULES
    Name is far too patriotic and aggressive, change to International Poodles
    Safe 'home' areas called on each side to be renamed. Home is not always safe for children
    No winners or losers - must be non-competitive
    Children to wear full protective body gear, including knee pads, helmet and gum shields
    Catching friends is too violent - instead players to shout "poodle" when they get within one foot (or the metric equivalent)
    great...

    everything is too overprotective nowadays
    Post Counts and Other Rewards, Rules, Folding@Home, Fans: Push vs Pull vs Push-Pull, Corsair PSU OEMs.

    damn this game has gone soft

    Violence and Lubrication is the solution to fixing everything, if it still doesn't work, you need more lubrication.

    But this is wrong, we used to have about 30 peeps playing, and about 4 of them defending at the beginning, and if you got taken out then you become one of the defenders. Then when the last person is taken down there is a massive pile-on.

    Loved Bulldog.

    Everyone should be forced to play it.
