1st Bletchley Amicus

This week we attempted to record our own version of Whose Line Is It Anyway – a classic Friday night TV from before most of the Amicus members were born, but which has become a cult classic on YouTube. Here’s a sample snippet from the show:

Yolanda was charged with organising the evening, and did a great job with the planning, and the execution was pretty good too. Although there were a number of long pauses as people thought through what they were going to do, it was really difficult to edit the evening down into a manageable but representative snippet. But here’s our episode – the best 12 minutes of video you’ll ever watch (maybe):

We closed with a whole uninterrupted hour in the Youth hall and enjoyed a few games of Skittleball, Unihoc and Footie. Don’t let anyone ever tell you that youth work is an easy life – it features many dangers. Not least of these is the real possibility of being kicked hard by one of your young people. This happened to me this week, thankfully though it was an accident during game play and not out of rage (Graham was well controlled tonight ;o) Click on the picture on the right to see my bruise in its full glory – this was taken five days after the event.

Just a couple of random things to finish with. How about this for a possible future Amicus activity?

At the end of the session I shared a few of the Top 278 Star Wars Lines Improved By Replacing A Word With “Pants”.  Here are a few my favourites:

• You are unwise to lower your pants
• The Force is strong in my pants
• In his pants you will find a new definition of pain and suffering
• I sense the conflict within you. Let go of your pants!
• I’ve just made a deal that will keep the Empire out of our pants forever
• Lock the door. And hope they don’t have pants
• Search your pants, you know it to be true

Without meaning to be too irreverent, I’d love to see us come up with the Top 20 Scriptures ‘Improved’ By Replacing A Word With ‘Pants’. Please add yours to the comments below and we’ll have a vote and publish the list in the a couple of weeks.
