I'm just a bloody normal bloke. A normal bloke who likes a bit of torture

Out in the wilderness of Asia, our intrepid traveller embarks on a foolhardy mission to compete with other weyguks in an old fashioned game of stickball. The venue was chosen, and the time set in stone, these warriors were ready to compete.
Picture the scene: our hero emerges from his taxi and lifts his collar slightly so as to shield himself from the bitter reality that is man and nature (at this point, the viewer will be hearing what our master is hearing through his headphones: Fuel - Metallica). He strides forth, almost a clear foot taller than most that surround him, and moves towards the battle ground.
A couple of beers later and its time to move on to the pool hall, there are some strange rules in Korea and one of them is that pool halls cannot serve beer, although you can take your own in. The hostess comes over to your table every few minutes offering you free soft drinks and more popcorn, very different from the world of Ambassadors that we grew to love so much. Somehow a clean pool hall just doesn't feel right.
The group stages are chosen and our hero gets a bit of a toughy, but manages to make it through to the semis, only to be faced with the defending champion.
His pride hurting, he sat back and had a couple of bottles of beer, then off for one more, then for something to eat. Third place is only two away from best, if those guys had drunk poison at the same time, he would have been the winner. He wished that he'd remembered to bring some......
Two lessons that our combatant has learned from this are:
1. NEVER teach little kids English at 9am after only 5 hours sleep. And
2. NEVER EVER EVER teach little kids English at 9am after only 5 hours sleep.

It seems that the reasoning of the policeman's brain is not enough to break this difficult conundrum. Don't apply for the post in CID yet my lad.

The game is still open, by my count Mr Porteous has 2 to everyone elses big zero.

Come on everyone, see if you can prove yourself here as the copper as failed.

Scotia does well, is it the same Scott that is currently in Barcelona with a broken collar bone?

Porteous - 2
Scott - 1
