So Tristan,

Does he come with a free set of steak knives???? (lol)

I do not question or challenge what Liam does for underwater hockey in NZ and I apologise if you or he believe I have. When asking what he had done for the cause I was referring to the political issues. I asked generic questions for everybody to consider, this is an open forum and I realised that I was not speaking to Liam alone.

Belle, I will accept the slap on the wrist from you and Liam, there are heaps of positive entries on this forum. I went back and read over the site and there have been plenty of good discussions. I do not accept that I am the most negative person on the forum however; I concede that frustration has displayed itself in a negative form. That was not my intention.

I or we entered this forum after a ‘dinner party’ type discussion over Ducks inflammatory post which we had noted not one person on the forum had questioned or challenged, coupled with we had been reading in GB…I guess we were hearing alarm bells. In this sense I am not one person on the forum but the collected views of a few!

Encouraged by heated discussion on the topic and a bottle of red we decided to post.
I guess the focus of our discussion centred around the fact that we have not even consolidated our position as a new sporting body and already people are talking about turfing the committee out of their positions…and with who?? We have all been on committees with those people…you know the ones, they are going to revolutionise everything, their intentions are great but they run out of puff & commitment and it all gets to hard and they walk away. Having done the hard yards and having proven their commitment to the cause we just felt that current committee have at the very least earned the right to get this up and happening without the constant bitc..g of everybody else – hence the name.

We agree that the new committee should be democratic…but we were wondering why people (at least initially) couldn’t be invited in? Maybe each participating nation should have a representative?

We were surprised and amused by the responding posts and so we continued enjoying the game. It has been an interesting exercise to watch peoples reactions…especially when they have felt their own positions questioned or threatened!

Anyway the weekend is over, the bottle is finished and we have all gone home. Life beckoned (told you I had one!).

Sigh! We are off the topic again…
Where were you…
Oh that’s right….let the name change discussions continue!

I am curious which post of mine you consider inflamatory. Most of what you have said is either vaguely or incorrectly applied to a person or as a fact when it is not. So I wouldn't want anyone to be confused any more by your thought provoking work.

Sounds to me like you have pulled a Gibson. You know the move, named for Mel Gibson, say something stupid and then blame the alcohol. He's not the first to do and obviously not the last.

Hi Fed up, are you an I or a we?
I feel you must give up your right to post if you are not willing to put your real name or names to the forum.
Bye Bye for now!

I'd like to request that the identity of Fed_Up be made clear to the members of this forum - members who are all passionate for this sport. I think I speak for all of us when I say that we WANT to trust and support this new direction that the sport is taking, but trust isn't achieved by being evasive. If you insist on personally referring to people in posts, it is only fair that you make your identity clear.

Unlikely that request will be fullfilled. The coward's way is the coward's way and it takes someone, or a group of someones, to have a backbone rather than be a jellyfish.

Hey, that's it! Maybe Carl can just put "jellyfish" under the avatar to identify these types.

Hmmm...

This guy has been warned by all 3 of this Site's Admin's now :shock: .

So he some sort of bravery. Bravery is of course closely related to stupidity.

Gee, I wonder what will happen next :evil:

I would like to take this opportunity to propose a break-away group from the Aqua Challenge mob. As president of the Indoor Snorkel Battle Extreme (Hockey) Association, I can assure you all that we will take hockey back to its roots, the way God intended us to play it. There shall be no mention of vests, mouth guards or contrasting coloured gloves and extended finger swerves (dummies, whatever...) shall be encouraged. And by the way, we're keeping the suggestive mermaid. That was the best bit about CMAS.

Cheers, Nick.

PS don't bother to complain because it was already decided like.... 6 months ago.

PPS, this is a joke. Its da internetz bro, its what it was designed for.

i propose that ISBE penalty shots be taken in the form of a lightsabre duel using snorkels, poolside above the goals and involving all 10 players on each team. the attacking team has the defending team has the disadvantage of having their togs pulled up over the back of their heads and over their masks to restrict vision. last player standing wins the shot for their team.

I only heard about Aqua Challenge a couple of days ago and I must say I was really interested to find out more about it.
To be honest I still don't really know all that much about it but was quite put off when I read all the negative talk that is associated with such an exiciting sounding sport.

lightsabre duels negative? you must be crazy!

darth vader wore a snorkel all day, and look what it did for him.
