Not wanting to brag at all.

Guess who won the welly whanging contest yesterday?.
 
Well,

You get your welly,toe the line,and whang it as far as you can.

Or,if you prefer,take hold of the Wellington boot and throw it as
far as you can.
 
And all I got was a bottle of Newcastle Brown.
 
Ok, so I'm curious - Other than the obvious mental and physical challenge that Welly Whanging presents, and the clear and present need for Welly Whangers to keep their skills honed and ready for action at any time, what, really makes a person whang a welly? I mean, is it a tradition or something. Me, I'm clearly out of the welly whanging loop, if you know what I mean ;)

:rose:
 
The origins of welly whanging are buried deep in the annals of
English folklore.The tradition is said to have started on the playing fields of Eton or perhaps at the battle of Waterloo,where it is claimed the Duke of Wellington was addicted to throwing his
boots at his officers.This was somewhat distressing for his officers
as the Duke was prone not to wash his feet.


In reality just another silly game played to raise money for the local scout troop.

Ewww! smelly boots. no thank you.

So, can you get a boy scout merit badge for welly whanging? ;)

:rose:
 
Not for whanging,but you can for waning.


Damn it,the ruddy Ks stuck.
 
For some reason, I get the vague impression that you were a boy scout... ;)

Me, I was never allowed to be a girl scout, too much money and time, and car rides for a single mom... always wanted to be a girl scout, had to settle for being a catholic schoolgirl instead. Ah, the trauma... <insert sarcastic tone here>

No,I never was a boy scout.

It's a tradition that the landowner here(me now) lets the scouts
use one of the fields for their fund raising,and also contribute to the cause.

T'aint no big deal.
