| Pink spandex
I was just wondering, can you wear pink spandex over your whites in a competition?
Thanks a lot. |

| 1. No.
2. You could, however, wear a pink colored stretch uniform so long as the body could be considered a "single light color".
3. Lemme guess-- lose a bet in some kind of drinking game with your fencing buddies?

| Can it be that DW has finally run out of serious fencing questions? I didn't think that'd ever happen!  | |

| boo: do you fancy joining me in a hunt round england for our friend dripping wet, so we can administer the good hard slap he needs to bring him to his senses.
he reminds me of a guy who i studied a-level chemistry with, who constantly annoyed the teacher with endless questions, but never really took it in and was consequently rubbish at it.
the best piece of advise i can ever give drippingwet is to stop worrying and just bloody well fence, try some stuff and see what happens.
and when it comes to pink lycra: no, not ever, for any reason. especially if you are going to hang around in the water cooler asking if anyone is a sailor... | |

I have frequent, good 1:1 coaching, sparring through the week and a good competitive schedule. When you say to stop worrying and just bloody well fence, I'm not worrying and I do bloody well fence. Forums, books, videos et al are the auxiliary components that are available to a fencer.
If the questions I've asked make you think that I'm too concerned with stuff, be informed that a lot of the questions aren't extremely important to me. If this forum wasn't here, then I wouldn't be pulling my hair out, but it is here so I use it.
Anyway, what's wrong with asking about becoming a referee, or the advantages and disadvantages of this or that, or "I'm interested in Tauber, what can you tell me?" etc, etc? This is a forum after all. If I need to, then I can ask my coach things, but if it isn't very important (so would take up coaching time) or doesn't require practical work then I can just ask it here.
No hard feelings though.

| Are there any regulations on suspenders for fencing knickers? I want to get a pair of rainbow-coloured ones for mine.

a) he will be easy to spot (no hunting round England required...!)
b) someone will probably slap him before we can get to him
