Never prank a prankster!

Now imagine this, you wake up in the morning expecting to go to a meeting with some work colleagues, you wake up at 6am, have a shower, get dressed up, suit, tie, etc.

You arrive at the place where you are suppossed to have the meeting and you open the door and all your work colleagues are sitting in a changing room shouting "surprise?!!!"

"Umm......what the fuck is going on? Wheres this meeting?"
"There isn't any!"
"You WHAT? Then what the fuck is going on? What am i doing here?"
"You my fat friend are playing in a football tournament with US and you're the goalie" Put this shirt on, these boots, these shorts and we'll meet you outside in 5"

As they all casually walked past me in their full attire, giggling as they go past me one by one, giving me a re assuring slap on the back im standing in the middle of the changing room going "What the fuck has just happened?"

I actually closed my eyes and re opened them just to check I wasnt dreaming this up!
I fell for it biiig time and i knew why they had all done it too!

It was my fault really? All week these guys have been busting my balls about how they are soo fit etc etc so i thought id put them to the test.

A brief explanation is required. Ok, the bicycle's in the Netherlands are really weird, firstly they're really upright but comfortable and they dont have conventional brakes. The only way of breaking is to pedal backwards, a bit like a bike i used to have waaaay back in the day.

Anyway also on these bikes are these lights which are powered by Bottom Bracket or “Roller” Dynamos. These dynamos are mounted on the back wheel and contact the tread which in turn generates power to the light efficiently. (The dutch are very eco friendly)

Whilst the dynamo does not wear the side of the wheel out or make it difficult to ride it would if some childish guy went up 10 of the bikes and screwed the dynamo's up making them touch the wheel allot more therefore making it a right bitch to ride, which, is exactly what i did.

They had planned a little bike trek of about 30 miles after the training course on saturday in but i decided not to go, 20 miles a day is enough for me without going for a 30 mile trek on a friday night! (too tired).

Anyay it was fucking hilarious when they all came back absolutely sweating like little piglets, all of them looking really concerned and pissed off, they came hobbling into the hotel like the walking wounded.

"Fucking hell boys. what the fuck happned to you, you lot get jumped?"
"We are going to get that fucking guy at the bike hire shop!"
"Why man, tell me, whats happened?"
"The guy at the bike hire shop fucked us man?"
"What do mean, come on tell me?"
"The fucking dynamo's are fucked, they're on too tight! It was fucking impossible to ride the fucking things!"
"So why didnt you take off the dynamo's"
"Cause smart ass it's pitch black where we were and we wouldnt have been able to see shit!

I couldnt hold it in.

HAhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha, oh man, your faces crack me up!

"You bastard! It was you wasnt it?"
"Yep"
"You cunt!"

A couple of the guys took it ok, the others sulked a bit but found it funny after their hot showers and the free drinks from the bar. Adn thats where they all must have planned this one!

A football match! And not even a friendly one, same company but different departments from around the world!

Anyway after hours of sitting in the rain waiting for our turns to play we found out what we already knew, we were all shit at football. I did make some stunning saves though!

Anyway i decided to leave early after the game had ended, apparently there was a BBQ afterwards etc but i wanted to come back to the hotel to have a hot shower and relax.

That and the fact i have put deep heat in their chadi's.........
