I would always take my trusty binoculars and have hours of fun with those!

if my best friend was allowed to sit with me we would take it in turns eying up the dishy bro's on the opposite side of the stadium. If we weren't allowed to sit together we would try and engineer it so we sat on opposite sides and she would borrow some binoculars and we would wile the hours away making discreet hand signals to each other across the pitch.

This worked well until you spotted brother High and Mighty sitting two rows behind my friend who just witnessed me giving the finger to my friend through his binoculars. Then word would get back to my parents and my binoculars would be confiscated, only to be used during the drama. Spoilsports!

Loved the bit with the binoculars! We used to do that, also. It was always fun getting a close up view of your fellow brothers and sisters. I spent the better part of an afternoon session doing that during one assembly...until I happened upon someone staring back at me! LOL!

damn!! we weren't fortunate enough to have binoculars, but our conventions weren't that big i guess. most of the time i sat, looking around for people i knew. doodling was always a good time passer too, but had to be careful because mom was always keeping a close eye. we were never allowed to sit with anyone else--what a drag. joanna--how come we never knew each other then??!?! we could have had so much fun!! heehee

Yes, we have reached a consensus here that Binoculars are essential to relieving

I love it when someone is having a notebook conversation in the seats in front of you, you can nosily look at them.

"coloured" I thought it was un-pc everywhere, not just in the states! Some Elderly white brothers and sisters still say things like "coloured" instead of black, it makes me cringe, but I know they don't mean anything bad. I heard one sister say "deaf and dumb" the other day when describing someone who was deaf-mute.

It's a bit dubious of you fulano just looking covetously just at black sisters. Personally I look at all the sisters covetously no matter what colour!!

Fulano,

I just could not resist posting this joke in response to your comment about the colored sisters.

When I born, I black
When I grow up, I black
When I go in sun, I black
When I cold, I black
When I scared, I black
When I sick, I black
And when I die, I still black.

You white folks......

When you born, you pink
When you grow up, you white
When you go in sun, you red
When you cold, you blue
When you scared, you yellow
When you sick, you green
And when you die, you gray
So who you callin colored??

The term "dumb" has changed in meaning over the years. It once meant someone who couldn't speak. Now it is a coloquial term, meaning to be stupid. Same as the term "gay" changed over the 20th century.

lol @ Chester's poem....

Just wanted to add, that when I was at the conventions (outdoors) I used to watch the birds flying overhead and wondered if they would poop over anyone in the audience.

I also used to wear sunglasses, so I could sleep behind them, and also watch the brothers without being obvious.

It's amazing how many hours can be spent watching pigeons walking round a football pitch when your well and truly bored. They take off in unison at every loud outburst of applause only to land again seconds later. Hours of fun.

Dad always took his binoculars which were good for one thing only - finding the best totty in the audience and making notes of where they were sitting.

Either way it's 'bird' watching.
