Apparently .... well according to the infinite monkey cage it does!   Amazing what little gems of science I learnt from Brian Cox & Robin Ince lol

So there ya go folks, it's official ! If you want it sucked off then you gotta be butch cos mincing around just aint gonna cut it

This thread get my vote for Thread Title Of The Year BTW

No one has ever sucked my welly off - am I missing something??

[so_wot]

Me neither but then they are a bit stinky, so wouldn't recommend it.

'welly sucking mud' maybe explains all those guys diving face down into it. Poor guys, must be the closest they get...

It has something to do along the lines of 'pulling straight up and down makes it harder to suck out,  whereas giving it a bit of a twist makes pulling it out easier and smoother' Who would have thought mud, wellies & Brian Cox could be so interesting lol

I found walking on tip-toes in the sticky stuff prevented any welly sucking incidents for me. Less surface area I guess!

[sparklydocs]

I wonder if that's why wellies with wedges were created?

Just skate over the mud *no, not with skates or skateboard*, you go threw it with no trouble... you may look daft but you will be by far the fastest man on site! I over took many a man and didn't get welly suckage once

I enjoyed learning about mincing in the mud, and happily minced out of the Cabaret tent afterwards only to get stuck in some properly epic mud. FAIL!

I also learned that D:Ream's 'Things Can Only Get Better' should really have been called 'Entropy Can Only Increase'...

I loved my Cox-on-Cox sesh on Saturday. Made me laugh, made me cry, made me mince my way across site for the next few days. I had figured out the tip toe/mincing practise before the radio recording and never lost my boots once. Its all about speed, angle, ability to assess the mud just by looking at it. Years of practice from previous muddy years has helped.

We really do need more science lectures/talks at the G in the future.
