See you at playtime for a game of...

We used to love playing this. It would never get old because every game was different! :D
 
I used to love playing this.

Also - the gauntlet (may have been stolen from Gladiators!*).

Line up two rows of tables parallel to each other. People sit on the inside edges of both. You have a runner trying to get from one side to the other, while his mates are kicking him.

For wuss people, no kicking at head level (hippies..)

The greatest games were when there 50+ people. Once the number of bulldogs started to build up, all it became was a massive fight.
 
-Name is far too patriotic and aggressive, change to International Poodles

- Safe 'home' areas called on each side to be renamed. Home is not always safe for children

- No winners or losers - must be non-competitive

- Children to wear full protective body gear, including knee pads, helmet and gum shields

- Catching friends is too violent - instead players to shout "poodle" when they get within one foot (or the metric equivalent)

LOLWUT?

AGAINST Political correctness... and that's the rules they suggest? ****wits.

My favourite bit is 'shout poodle when they get to within a foot or metric equivalent'.

Kid A: Poodle!
Kid B: No it wasn't you were 31cm away from me!
*Que massive multi-cultural knife fight*

Raps was where it was at. I'd never seen the white of an actual knuckle bone until I'd played Raps with a, sadly now deceased, guy called Sean Rowe. :D

This has been greeted with delight by members of the Campaign Against Political Correctness, although they fear safety rules could leave a watered down version of the game.

It says the name would have to be less patriotic and aggressive to suit modern tastes and maybe "International Poodles" would be more appropriate.

And children would have to wear full protective body gear, including knee pads, helmets and gum shields.

I used to play bulldog when I was ickle, then it got banned. Then they banned conkers. And tennis balls. And footballs. And then it got stupid. They banned snowballs too but there's no way in hell a school can stop 400+ people chucking snowballs at each other so they didn't even try.
 
Name is far too weak, change to 'Catch the ******'
Safe 'home' areas called on each side to be renamed. Home is boring, and thus will now be known as 'Pub'
No winners or losers, game is continuous to allow as much pain as possible
Children to wear shoulder pads to knock the others out the way
Catching friends is not violent enough, rugby tackles are now the only way a catch can be made

The alternate proposed rules
 
They should ban school. Imagine making a poor child actually get out of bed and made to do some work! Someone think of their human rights!!!

I'm sure that's probably just a **** take.

I remember British Bulldog was my favourite game, other than football when I was younger, then one day the teachers just wouldn't let us play it anymore. What a shame.

<Insert what a load of rubbish political correctness has become, etc.>
 
We were all banned from playing British Bulldog at my school in the 80's when a friend was tackled, fell on a bag, and ended up with a Thundercat stuck in his head. His Mum never sued though. ' :D

loved playing this in school, ahhh the memories
 
This was a top game when I was at school, even when I got tripped and went through one of the teachers wind screens and woke up in hospital a few hours later, was an impress selection of cuts and stitches to talk about in the playground a few days later.

About time people let kids have fun again !
