   1650 Howell For. Trav. App. (Arb.) 85 They [the Turks] have sundry sorts of punishments that torture the sense a longer time, as drubbing, guunshing, flaying alive, impaling.    1687 Congreve Old Bach. i. v, He will take a drubbing with as little Noise as a Pulpit Cushion.    1708 Prior Mice 102 These two were sent (or I'm no drubber).    1752 Hume Ess. & Treat. (1777) I. 266 To hear‥Jupiter threaten Juno with a sound drubbing.    1769 Junius Lett. xxiii. 108 note, Sir Edward Hawke had given the French a drubbing.    1784 Lett. to Honoria & M. II. 36 Who had just suffered a hearty drubbing-bout.    1814 Scott Wav. xxxiv, Beyond the capacity of the drubber of sheep-skin.    1871 J. C. Jeaffreson Ann. Oxford I. xx. 313 The classical drubbings which pupils underwent.    1884 G. Meredith Let. 31 Dec. (1970) II. 755 He got well licked [at football]. A swim in the Baths afterward braced him, for victory or another drubbing.    1955 Times 24 May 11/3 The Communists, who are still licking their wounds after the drubbing they got in 1950.    1959 Spectator 21 Aug. 215/1, I shall be surprised, though, if the Establishment does not take another drubbing in the City over Harrods.

rounders, so I don't really care.
Actually, that's a lie - I'm not usually bothered, but I think it should be a hell of a match, both sides 2 from 2, lots of big fit bastards on both sides...
