The Sweaty World Cup Teddy Bear of 12th Place-ness

So, this is the original post from back in the day when the bat and the bear first made their appearances. As to why the bear is sweaty? Still a mystery.


"Moira stuck to her guns for a solid 12 place finish and so earns the sweaty world cup teddy bear of 12th place-ness. Paul get the shirt of first place-ness. Missy came in second and has requested the third place prize of the hat coz she doesn't know what a cricket ball is and so, if that is ok with you Sarah, she wins the hat and you win the cricket ball.

Also, we bought a floating trophy of a signature cricket bat that will go to Paul as the winner. I will get his name put on it, and in 4 years time it will go to the next winner of the Robinson World Cup. It shall hence forth (I always wanted to say that) be known as the Sweaty Robinson World Cup Trophy of Winningness. Here is a picture of the bat and the bear."

  1. It should be noted that the bear was not intended to be a floating trophy, it is and always will be Moira's. But, the honorary title of the sweaty teddy belongs to whomever is in last place.

  2. I love the word winningness. That describes exactly what the England team is not about.

  5. I just thought we were playing for the bat. I didn't know we were playing for the Sweaty Robinson World Cup Trophy of Winningness. Although hence forth can we drop the Sweaty?
