Confederation Cup?!

I was just in Frankfurt recently and the Confederation Cup fever seemed to have spread everywhere, even into the most 'personal' area of the male's bastion - the urinals. I was amused and somewhat fascinated by the creativity of the people who placed the 'football' pitches there.



Each comes complete with a green pitch (meshed and porous as you don't want a flooded pitch do you?), a goal post (for you to get the ball into) and a suspended red ball (for you to aim at...what else?). The aim is to get the ball into the goal post....and how you get it in bearing in mind the rules of football or in this case pee-ball, you should have got the drift by now (if not, give me a call and I will explain). What is also interesting is that the red ball is made of a thermal plastic and turns white when it gets warm. This definitely beats having to use a urino-analysis stick to find out what's wrong with you :-). While it is a challenge having to keep aim (tho some may disagree) at this suspended non-stationary ball, it sure beats having to drown a small static fly (who refuse to drown) printed in some urinals and most of all it is great fun!!

In our drive to get our toilets clean and dry, do you think this will help? At the same time, it has been proven that a constantly engaged mind is good in preventing Alzheimers.

How did you get the photos, Stan? don't tell me you went innocently into a male loo brandishing your camera asking if you could take a couple of pictures? : )

Wonders never cease.. I must say, it's a cool idea.

What was your score at the end of the game? ; )

ha ha... This is the advantage of having a small digital camera. It was literally run into the toilet, quick check that no one's around, take a couple of snaps from different angles and innocently walk out. Someone (you know who lah...) commented that I should have taken it "mid-stream" to show the scoring! Would have been difficult to take a shot and score at the same time :-). Lost count of the score! Take care!
