MAMPAM has traditionally been a bastion and birthplace of many new traditions. Traditionally these traditions have erred on the side of more traditional traditions, such as the eating of pizza, the monstering of munch, and the regardement of Christ-bitingly crappy films.
One thing one doesn't traditionally associate with MAMPAM traditions is sport. MAMPAMs are dominated by competitiveness, and fury, and the white heat of drinking wine laced with Spontaneous Combustion Sauce, and are often defined by the sweet feeling of groggy victory as we once again emerge from MAMPAM HQ the next morning, ready to go to work; although these feelings are often associated with the sporting world, we cannot lay claim to actively participating in sport at MAMPAM, excepting the odd bout of wrestling (Dan's top tip: go for the legs) and hedgehog juggling (Dan's top tip: don't do it).
This in mind, MAMPAM, and specifically Ben and Alex, have decided to get us off our butts, and get a little more sporting. The result? The brand, spanking new football team The Üm Louts, featuring MAMPAM and a smattering of other miscreants.
Actually, I suppose that I should come clean at this point and mention that we aren't entirely brand new, and are in fact in Week 4 of the Elms Five-A Side City Shadwell League. In recent weeks we have lost 3-0, won 3-0 and lost 4-2. Hopefully this inconsistency can continue tonight, when we play match 4 of the league against Felicity Shadwell.
