The Tar Babies are dangerously competitive...... pool, chess, go-karts, poker, billiards, "Who can flick a peanut across the table into a pint of beer", "Who can flick a peanut across the room at an unsuspecting civvy" (that's you lot) , "Who can end the song first", or "Who can end the song last", or "Who can end the song correctly or even at all".

"The Biggest Kipper Tie Knot Award" goes to Lee being the all time undisputed record holder (this was knot even a tie breaker), once his knot was actually bigger than his head......bless

The trophy for "The most beer poured into the mixing desk Award" is owned solely by Marc who's pints ahead there.

The "Worst Shades Diploma" goes to Lee.

Whilst Jez and Joolz are without doubt the two slowest drivers on the open road , Joolz is strangely the fastest when it comes to mini racing and go karts. Oh yes, and at the moment Joolz is the Jenga champion.

And finally Tommy is all time champion of the "Who can get to the wedding cake before the newly wedds title", but if you're considering having The Tar Babies play at your wedding , don't worry he usually can't manage all three tiers and he's stopped that aweful habit of using the figurines as tooth picks.

But no , seriously folks!

The one true great title that they're all scrambling for....

"The Holy Grail of Tardom"

"The Grand Daddy of Babyism"

"The Utopia of Triumphs"

" THE MOST HORRENDOUSLY CLASHING OF CLOTHES AWARD"

the winner subject to further scrutiny and adjudication

Every gig opens up new and original challenges for the boys, so at any one time you should be able to spot a happy winner and a not so happy loser. But it's that constant bickering that gives The Tar Babies that certain Va Va VROOOOM

my money's on the blue tent winning
