Old soldiers enjoy their rugby stroll around Hamsey Green

Grandstand view: Chelsea Pensioners were at Warlingham on Saturday for the venue’s first walking rugby festival, which included a team from the Royal Hospital We’ve had walking football. There’s walking cricket, too (if it ever stops raining). Now, up at Warlingham rugby club and at Old Whits, they are playing walking rugby, and a visit at the weekend from some old soldiers from the Royal…

I was walking along talking on my phone when a guy snatched it out my hand, got a few paces only to realise it's a rubbish model and then smashed it against York city wall. I rugby tackled him and he turned into a small domestic dog.

Peaky blinders modern high school sports AU:

Arthur - everything track and field. Throws a mean javelin. Could be good at more but is too competitive for team sports, fights his own teammates for the ball

Tommy - nothing. Absolutely nothing. Smoking under the stacks or behind the toilet block. Teachers sometimes talk him into umpiring the football so he won’t fail a unit, then he’s absolutely fucking brutal like it’s a game of Tommy Shelby vs both football teams

John - generically good at all team sports, nearly always first pick. Always takes on too many sports commitments and juggling clashes. Prefers football

Finn - squash and badminton. Stays indoors.

Ada - tennis. Likes the way it’s like a verbal tactical battle with a single opponent. Not good at doubles because can’t teamwork with her partner. (Ada in a white short tennis dress. At least one brother makes an effort to go every time she plays and glares at the crowd)

Lizzie - cross country running. Practices in the streets. Wears earbuds and ignores catcalls. If the uniform requires short shorts and sleeves, always wears full length Lycra leggings and long sleeves under

Alfie - lurking under the bleachers with Tommy. Will also umpire if pressed but takes sides and has no shame in it. Used to do rugby and wrestle until he was banned and expelled due to an Incident in the Locker Room

Esme - lurking with Tommy and Alfie behind the toilet block because she’s nearly always pregnant.

May - chief competitive cheerleader, organiser, fundraiser, etc

Grace - excellent at anything involving a bat and a ball, amazing pitcher, has knocked people out with a softball and no one sure if she meant it (her aim’s too good to miss?) or an accident (she’s too perfect to be malicious). Tommy watches the dynamic with interest

Michael - touch rugby. *only* touch. Mum worries too much otherwise. Uniform always immaculate

Jessie - netball, goal defence or centre

Linda - netball, goal attack or wing attack

Freddie - look, teachers keep trying and he keeps trying but the lanky dude’s so uncoordinated he’s dangerous and they let him sit out. He refuses to join the gang behind the toilet block so sits somewhere and sulks and sometimes Tommy comes over and passes him over a durry. Always at Ada’s matches and gives her detailed commentary on what she could’ve done better afterwards.

Gina - competitive ballroom. She’s teaching Michael

Sabini - 100% crazy arsehole PE Teacher vibes. No one understands him. Is he Australian? Is he Italian? Is he English? Is he Czechoslovakian? No one knows. Nearly gets into a fistfight with Tommy trying to force him to participate until administration intervenes

#peaky blinders fanfic #Tommy gets special privileges on account of his grades and his Home Situation and the way he just walks out of class if he feels like it #Tommy spreads that special privileges umbrella as wide as he can over his brothers #Ada doesn’t need it she’s sorted it out #Tommy also good at squash but Finn beat him one day so he’ll never play again #none of them wear protective gear #they’ve all managed to accidentally take out a classmate’s eye somehow #how did you hit Michael in the eye while umpiring a match Thomas #I dunno it’s a skill *shrugs* #but Thomas #Michael was playing rugby and you were umpiring football on an entirely different field #it’s an important skill?

the experience of watching bondi rescue on youtube vs piha rescue on youtube is that on bondi rescue theres a continuous cast and funny little moments and events interspersed between rescues on surf boards and medical events and then with piha rescue its a constant fucking stressful nightmare (esp if youre a new zealander who knows what piha is like) where they have less lifeguards over miles of deadly beaches, sea so rough they can only do rescues in irbs or boats, cops always showing up either for illegal fishing or a missing persons report that, 85% of the time turns into a case of one/multiple people (children to adults) drowning each season and the same percentage chance of their body being recovered because of the strong currents

like. bondi rescue shows you what work is like at a popular sunny beach that is almost always safe to swim at as long as you know what youre doing. piha rescue shows you what work is like at craggy, overcast and rough water beaches no one should be entering regardless of experience

#bondi rescue #even local new zealanders are like fucking DO NOT swim at piha. #it has taken people from all walks of life. peak of fitness rugby players. lifeguards themselves. #even people overlooking the cliffs havent been found after #just dont go to west coast beaches unless you want to add to our already overwhelming drowning statistics

I don't usually like publicly circulating stuff that was just ill-thought-out to point & laugh at, but the tweet's long deleted and the account gone too I think and this pops into my head 9 times out of 10 when I go for a walk, so ironically romanticised my life

#1st reply is tweet op 2nd is someone else iirc #ngl the rugby/football field actually looks kinda nice. there's some meadow wildflowers in there #reminds me of going for walk with my grandad and kicking litter into the posts we had on that street on the way back from the shops LMAO.. #those were t'days

#tired of being resilient tired of just getting by tired of running on fumes tired of it never being enough #i dont remember what it was like to be able bodied and stable anymore. i dont remember what my life was like. #i dont remember a before time. theres only this. only the too tired to drive safely and too much pain to walk the pitch and not enough sleep #too many medications and another to try and are you sure youve tried everything and maybe youre not trying hard enough #cause it's not like youre only a year and change out from two major surgeries and radiation on top of chronic conditions #no you're just not trying hard enough you should have bounced back by now says the chorus and the demons #tbd im just in the depression and self loathing pit this week. rugby season ends next week unless we make playoffs. #and ive barely managed to keep up with practices and barely made the social events because of my chronic illness #which i knew would be the likely outcome of my first season with the club and yet. and yet...

Hey kids? Always remember to roll your ankles out before sports. (I Am In Pain)

#fucked up my ankle at rugby but kept going (and we were doing TACKLE practice too) because it didn't hurt that bad and then approx an hour #later my foot was like Bitch Guess What. You Can't Walk Now. #so after realizing I would NOT be functional in english I kinda limped my way down to the front of the school and signed out #we are now chilling at home which would be great if I could actually get out of this chair. but I have computer speaker phone and knitting #in arms reach so we will survive #curio chatter

just realized I've always downplayed myself as unathletic but .... hold on a minute. I'm literally a jock dyke. I was doing gymnastics when I was in elementary for a bit + dabbled in ballet too, I did swimming for a while and a few triathlons as a kid, then did soccer and ringette and eventually swapped the soccer for rugby & I did cross country for some god damn reason in late elementary (even tho I hated running until a few years back??), I did recreational dodgeball a bit in undergrad & I would be playing ringette & rugby in an adult league right now if there was one available to me. also I might pick up curling .... lmao ?! and the whole reason I've always said I wasn't sporty or athletic was because I was never like. the best at any of the sports, never some AAA all star player, but I did my best and showed up to every practice I could and really enjoyed everything. fuck that I'm athletic and I love sports

#petchyposting #for rugby i even went out of my way to get permission to play with a different school bc my school didnt have a team #so multiple afternoons a week I'd get to leave my school a little early and walk over to the other school for practice or games #if thats not athletic and sporty.... #d slur

[politedemon]

would like to be able to go a day without getting myself into an incredibly stupid yet inescapable situation please

#went for lunch with my master's programme coordinators the other day #and while we were talking one of them asked if we did any sports and another guy on my course was like oh yea i do tennis football rugby mma #which like. jesus christ. #and then it was my turn and i didn't wanna be boring so i said 'oh i'm interested in indoor rock climbing' #(kinda true didn't have any intention of doing anything about it) #and the coordinator was like 'oh we have a group who does that here!!' and then went out of her way on the walk back to uni #to try and find out who to contact about it #but she couldn't n i thought that was that #but NOW i got an email from her cc'ing in the guy who organises the indoor rock climbing #did she spend all weekend looking for that???? #anyway now i can't not reply and i can't say oh i'm not interested actually so guess who has a new hobby ig

if a car beeps at me i think the driver should be legally required to send me a letter stating their name & intentions

#once i was walking home from rugby at like 10pm and a car beeped at me #i was the only one around so it was definitely for me #but i have no idea who it was #1. terrible eyesight 2. poor reaction times 3. can’t remember who owns which car

[catinfroghat]

My mom says she can't pick me up from the bus stop next week so I have to walk home 😭 please please don't rain or snow or get icy I'll die

#it's going to ne so dark and I'll have to walk through the creepy lane by the rugby pitch
