Operation "Barmy Army" A smashing success!:woot:

So many know, England crushed India in cricket this year and I work with a lot of Indian engineers. So one engineer was really pissed off about about this and I couldn't pass up the opportunity.:D I told Mr. Buna about my situation and three weeks later a "Barmy Army" hat arrived in the post. The next day, I showed up at my engineering meeting sporting the hat.

So, the first engineer that noticed the hat asked me about the house.
I asked him what he knew about the hat?:D

His reply:" They're just a bunch of drunks who go to the matches!":har::har:

A hit!:Kaleun_Periskop::Kaleun_Mad::Kaleun_Goofy:

Then later, our lead engineer:o:hmmm: asked me where I got the hat from?

McBee reply: Oh, you noticed the hat?:haha:

Another hit!:Kaleun_Periskop::Kaleun_Mad::Kaleun_Goofy:

Finally, the person who I wanted to piss off finally commented on the hat:" Why do you keep wearing that smurfing hat?

McBee reply: Coz I know you love it!

We hit the jackpot!

Now I get comments as ; "What a cool hat, where did you get it from?" So I have to tell the hat story.:D

And the best part off the whole joke, I'm now on "Cricshop's" mailing list!:haha:

Nice work mcbee.

The Indian's are taking on Australian for a test series starting Boxing Day. If we beat them (bloody miracel if we do), I'll send you a c'mon Aussie hat you can wear through January to extend the Xmas cheer at work.:03:

So... they prefer real sports, then? :O:

[nikimcbee]

The funny thing is, the engineer I love to annoy, graduated from the University of Houston and lived near Pearland.:har:

So whenever he talks about cricket, I cut him off and say "you mean baseball? In the US it is called baseball." Which pisses him off even more:haha:.

[Jimbuna]

LOL :DL

[TarJak]

Good to see a multi cultural working environment where sports are an international language.

Even girls can play cricket:yeah::haha:.

Do they have to bowl the ball like that? It looks like it is a lot higher scoring than baseball.

[nikimcbee]

There was a package in the post today! :salute::yeah: Looks great!

[TarJak]

Excellent. I hope your colleagues enjoy it as much as you do. :03:

[Jimbuna]

That sounds like something that involves: mace, a taser, and a ride in a constable car.:dead:

No doubt in my mind at all.:03:

If she's a fair dinkum sheila, she'll just laugh and say "Awww What a cute little sepctic doggie!":O:

[Jimbuna]

On the other hand she could be attracted to 'vertically challenged' people :DL

[TarJak]

:har:

[nikimcbee]

The gift that keeps on giving. So I saw the engineer today and I pointed at the hat. In passing he said "smurfing tooner".:haha::har::haha::har:

An I said; "You know what a Tooner is? Your coolness points just went up.":haha:

Now I'm a smurfin' Tooner.:rock:

[Jimbuna]

If your engineer is of Indian origin he's probably lived in the north east :DL

Google 'ocean road south shields restaurants' :03:
