| Monkey Rugby - by mochida1970 |
As a punishment for our disappointing costumes the judge sentenced four other pitch-side grinches and I to an hour each in the monkey suit.
This tour I had a staunch ally in my long standing resistance to fancy dress and themes of all sorts: my mate Chopin (who was conveniently too tall for the monkey suit) and he and made a pledge of mutual rebellion and steadfastness in the face of silly costumes.
On the first evening I texted Mrs Botogol at home : Chopin & I r rebelling. we r nt sheep we r indvdls wth r own mnds
Mrs Botogol texted back Don't tell me - have you two gone out to the pub together?
yes how did u kno?

When we got back to the site Chopin and I had to run a gauntlet of angry pixies to get back to our caravan where our respective offspring were waiting. I confidently expected to bask in their admiration - "Just wear the monkey suit why don't you?" said my more socially compliant son.

Those monkey costumes are amazingly realistic. Is that your son with the ball?
He's in the background. Fell off the tackle. Grr.
…So, you only play rugby, wear monkey suits, and don’t play music on these tours?! And there are no ‘groupies’ buses or private jets à la Mick Jagger???
what goes on tour... stays on tour, M4GD
:-) hmmm No, really...you wouldn’t say! Oh the suspense, excitement, and intrigue you Rugby people create! What a smooth celebrity-like answer Mr. Botogol! That’s what the celebrities often say when they are about to publish their book!!! But will Chopin write it with you? Could you tell us a bit more about him? And Could you please introduce me to Chopin? I want his autograph ;-)
