A long time ago, in a small, crowded, public house, sat three young men.
Stapled on the wall next to them was a rather ordinary looking, brown poster.
But this was no ordinary poster.
This poster had been given powers.
Not only that, but this poster spoke.
It was said in the town that everyone saw something different when staring at the poster.
And that if you leaned close enough to hear it, it would quote from the future.
On that day, one of the boys leant in to listen and heard what sounded like a strange conversation
"these milkshakes taste like banana"
"if your gonna be sarcastic about it, you can just f**k off"
"how do they know we're students?"
"1-0"
"if you do that again, I'll cut your face"
"we were predominantly playing football"
"come back in the cage and say that"
Once the poster had finished speaking, the boys looked up and watched as it began to transform. Text started to appear where there was none, and the boys stared as it formed the words "melee de la harpenden".
That was 10 years ago, on August 26 2001.
Melee has been through 3 world cups, 2 european championships, 5 weddings and more girlfriends than you can count.
And apparently, its back. In London.
What are people's thoughts on a 10 year anniversary get together?
