2012 London Archaeolympiad - Sith - 6th July 2005 Well, "we've" won it, so what archaeological events do you think should be included? I'm thinking of entering the Wheelbarrow Steeplechase, the PPG1500 metres and possibly the 4x4 100 metres (for overwieght consultant types). 2012 London Archaeolympiad - achingknees - 6th July 2005 2m scale javelin throwing (we've all done it when nobody was watching) speed troweling trowel juggling 2012 London Archaeolympiad - Curator Kid - 6th July 2005 Synchronised site machining? Olympic drinking? I'm please that London won, but the sad fact of this is that it's going to strip money wholesale from the Heritage sector for years to come, as we're all tied up with sport in the DCMS. Probably kiss goodbye to loads of lottery-funded projects too. 2012 London Archaeolympiad - eggbasket - 6th July 2005 I reckon that I shall be for the High Jump, at least if I don't finish reviewing this report I shall. Perhaps we can all try for EH funding to buy new bikes? Eggy by name, eggy by nature 2012 London Archaeolympiad - BAJR Host - 6th July 2005 What about a Marathon (just how many snickers can you stuff in your mouth at once!) I would try archery, but I don't get the point... Finish off with the Pub Crawl in the swimming pool Another day another WSI? 2012 London Archaeolympiad - Sith - 6th July 2005 Time Team Triathlon (Machining, Trowelling, Hypothesising). Points allocated according to time taken to completion. The whole thing run at a feverish pace over three days (of course). P.S. Anyone care to nominate their dream eight crew for the GB Stone Rowing squad 2012 London Archaeolympiad - deepdigger - 6th July 2005 Ok, well we could start with the opening ceremony where Tony B Liar could come down and cut the first ceremonial turf, this would kick off the proceedings, events to follow could be: Discus (using a biscuit tin lid) Javelin (using the aforementioned ranging pole) Throwing the hammer (claw for the ladies or lump for the chaps) Hide and seek (quite popular on dig sites that go on a bit) The sack race? (we all get it eventually) Climbing (the career ladder from svelte digger to chubby consultant) Curling (ladies only event, tongs provided) Jumping to conclusions (popular) Knifing the supervisor (in the back naturally) 4x 100 metres relay carrying a tray of hot tea and biscuits? more to follow i think!! deep 2012 London Archaeolympiad - drpeterwardle - 6th July 2005 The consultants event has to be: the walk over survey race Peter 2012 London Archaeolympiad - Curator Kid - 7th July 2005 Maybe S***n Th****y should run a Sack Race. That's what he's been doing at English Heritage for the last couple of years. Easy now, no names no pack drill!! 2012 London Archaeolympiad - Curator Kid - 7th July 2005 Apologies! |
