Indeed!

Meh. Fucking Lakers dropped another game to Phoenix…our bench was outscored 54-20. >:-<

Si, Senor. Es la verdad. ;-)

If rounders is basketball, the rounders it is. Netball here is something my wife plays, somewhere between knitting and a sport, I suppose.

This is rounders:

Its the thing you guys mistakenly call baseball, except we dont bother with the silly gloves and socks and all that fanfare, and its only really played by children.
By the age of about 9 you normally grow out of it and move on to petty vandalism.

This is netball:

I believe this is what you call basketball - except really only young girls play it.

Hope this clears up any confusion you Americans have…
If there is anything you need to know about ‘Padded Rugby’, just ask ;)

LOL - I have such a bad reputation!! But, yep running on Sunday and then out on Sunday night and dying on Monday ;-)

Okay. I gather from your photos that what you call rounders is what we call stickball except it’s really only played by depression era newsboys in movies. It’s that, or a depiction of someone getting mugged in central park, I think.

As far as netball/basketball, I am a bit confused. Your pic shows several overstuffed girls mucking about an outdoor concrete surface. Basketball is played by (mostly) insanely fit giants from all across the globe inside on a wooden surface.

As far as ‘padded rugby’ I can only say at least American football doesn’t employ a “scrum.” Because, seriously, wtf’s up with that? ;-)

Do i pay £15 to go and see Zion Train tonight, only 10 mins walk from the house but it’s been a long day and i’ve got to work tomorrow…

Re above post: Dexter Mccluster is now a wide receiver for the Kansas City Chiefs, picked in the 2nd round of drafts (not picked in the 1st round due to people feeling that 5’8” and 170lbs isn’t big enough, but fuck it he’s FAST, seen him get 200 odd rush yards in one game before).

meh, well it’s downright queer, no?

well if everybody was naked then yeah, don’t know too much of what goes on in there though, i played 6 or 7 most of the time, so i’m only attached to the scrum by one arm (and then only very very loosely, as loosley as i could get away with, in fact it’s often said that those postions job is to be offside, kill the ball and generally do as much illegal play as possible without getting caught too often, what fun : )

Mmmm - rugby players :-)~

I’m assuming you’re drooling over rugby players?

@gav I used to love playing EA sports on my Nintendo when I was young. Sadly, I’m useless on the new systems like wii. :-s

Back on topic…the Lakers, bask-net-ball Legends and defending Champs, have another shot tonight to advance to the finals once again. Go Lakes!!

It’s not the scrum that’s queer, it’s when the whole team want to get pissed and then streak in the bar after the game, not one of the aspects of rugby i miss.

John Madden ‘95 on the Megadrive (Genesis) I think was my fav. SF 49’ers where the best team by far - I think they had an overall rating of 95. I think Green Bay Packers had a rating of about 65 so you’d set the computer to play as them and stick the quarter length up so you could absolutely batter it.

I only had a limited grasp of the plays though, so I’d just use ‘Hail Mary’ over and over.

:( Oh dear. Hope it gets sorted. Been there, done that.

I hope you’re not a doctor, Fiona!! :D
