I'd like to see Bookies communicating current odds and prices to one another across dog and equestrian race-tracks using stylised nunchuck techniques.
Given the opportunity, I'd take this a step further and extend the nunchuck thing out into other hand-waving (and under certain circumstances, non-hand waving) professions such as: Traffic Police Aircraft Waver-onners Morris Dancers Semaphorists Royal Guards at Buckingham Palace Black Rod (after a suitable namechange) and Potentially the Queen - during beknightment ceremonies.
There's no actual point or benefit to be gained, other than stimulating further nunchuck usage in daily British Society.-- zen_tom, Oct 13 2011 HHWWWWWOOOAAARRRR!!! http://3.bp.blogspo...enses-the-altar.jpgPope Lee III [theleopard, Oct 13 2011] Aircraft marshalling http://en.wikipedia...ircraft_marshallingYou Will Do As We Wave ...

<psssst> They're properly called "Ground Marshals" or "Apron Marshals", and it's best to be nice to them unless you fancy 150 tonnes of aircraft rolling over your foot ....-- 8th of 7, Oct 13 2011 I should think being run over by an L1011 would be an improvement on the state of your average black pudding.-- Alterother, Oct 13 2011 Go and wash your brane (if any) out with soap and water.

Black Pudding is a delicacy in Lancashire.
On consideration, that probably tells you all you need to know about Lancashire. And Black Pudding.
Note that Black Pudding is the weapon of choice for practitioners of the traditional Lancastrian martial art of "Ecky Thump".-- 8th of 7, Oct 13 2011 Okay, now I'm just laughing too hard to craft a clever retort.-- Alterother, Oct 13 2011 Re: link
