I’m afraid I don’t know what “tig” is? Is it a playground game particular to the North? ---

They should be banned just for giving _tag_ a stupid name. We seem to be breeding a nation of nancy boys. How about the latest initiative for kids’ football - _Mums and dads have been ordered not to talk to their children while they are playing, but to clap politely from behind safety barriers instead._ What the fuck is wrong with some people? Cut down on cheering, non-competitive games, everyone runs around together and then everyone is a winner?? _Hey you, with the talent, yeah the one who trains hard every day and has a positive mentality and a good work ethic, slow down and wait for the lazy bastards, you might upset them!_ It’s bollocks - and it will leave kids completely ill-prepared for the real world. ---

**’GUESS WHAT BARRY IS TALKING ABOUT PURELY FROM THE THREAD TITLE’ PREDICTION GAME:** In this thread, BS is moaning about the EU banning those beaded seat-cover things that you only ever see in old people’s cars. Have they been banned? Well, there certainly seems to be a link included - and I’ve never seen anybody post dubious information on the Internet. ---

Aw, not a great prediction. 🙁 However I’ll give myself 4/10 for correctly guessing it’d involve mock outrage about something being banned. ---

British bulldog,a game for champions, fuck me about 7 years old getting proper rugby tackled/slammed by 13st 16 year olds, ah the memories, kids aren’t even allowed to play outside nowadays. Sad and they are missing out. ---

Plenty of kids still play outside these days - they are allowed but things move on with technology and less safe spaces to play outside (more cars on the streets). The article also states the ‘ban’ is temporary whilst kids calm down a little. Maybe they could have addressed aggressive playing/behaviour differently. Whatever next… Women will get the vote? That would be PC gone mad now. ---
