BIG SPALDINGS....What are they ?

[MANORVILLE]

Some know, some don't !

Curious to see who may venture a comment, guess or opinion !

Just for kicks !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

( Of course the question is based on a serious lack of alcohol consumption on this end.)

Ummm, isn't Spaulding a brand name of a company that makes BALLS?

In the UK they're deffo balls ... now what sort of balls is the next question.

 

[Carrington]

www.spalding.com ... loads of balls.

Guess who is seriously trying to fill in time ... yes it is 4 in the morning here but I'm off to market and it was actually easier to stay up!

 

[MANORVILLE]

SMACK...............my pal from across the pond should have been sleeping !

 

[Carrington]

Too right I should but my florist dinner didn't finish till 11.30 and then, by the time I got back it was only four hours and I thought I might as well carry on! Or does that just sound like a load of sphericals.

 

[MANORVILLE]

Sounds like a whole lot of fun when FC comes to London one day !
Reserve a pint or ten for me !

 

[Rhonda]

Have they built a big bridge I didn't know about??? (gosh, inside joke, sorry)

 

[MANORVILLE]

The last time I was in the UK, ManorMan wasn't yet born, but Kevin had a great time touring the entire UK.
Blasted in Wales with the locals.
Blasted in Scotland !
Don't remember much about London although my friends say i was very close to getting married to a fabulous girl named Nikki.
Had a blast for two months in London ,,,,,,,,, of course, back in the day .

Is Charing Cross still there ?

ok, I'll play.


Spaulding also developed these tennis rackets with a huge face on
them so people over 90 (whoops, did I really say that?) can still hit the tennis ball while courting their partners at Wimbledon.


...therefore the term 'big spauldings':hammer:


:kuddlef course the 90 year old ladies used the term for their tennis playing male friends! .....after the match!
