Very Clever CJ... now go and have a lie down...lol

Also very clever Severin... I just can't come up with a witty retort to that masterpiece....lol

This thread has been very cathartic.

I have managed to unload all my round ball frustrations onto you guys and now I can face life again....lol

Thankyou all for at least listening.

Also a special thanks to Italy for failing so miserably, in this years world cup.

I can only sum up by saying "The roundball game is rubbish" TY.

Opi2

Its been a hoot. Total respect.

I guess the win by the Maggies last night went down rather well too.

Saints V Magpies Grand Final?

Severin: << Saints V Magpies Grand Final? >>

Is that in ping pong?

Nernernernerner :P

Cornflower - good try, but you still haven't achieved 'funny' yet on this thread. B+ for effort though.

Opinionated2 - yes, it's a hoot. To be honest, it's on much the same order as the Eurovison song contest to me, the major difference being that I can't sing to save myself.

I'm also very pleased to have facilitated the relief of your "ball frustrations" :)

Back to the ostensible subject of the thread - now with Wimbledon on, I find that my somewhat limited sporting attention span is approaching something of a double bind. I find myself reading crime fiction, although I'm on holiday.

Where will it end? Bring on the Finals.

YAY, this should be very interesting: Germany vs UK tonight. Olé!
I will watch the repeat though or tape it because pfffff I'm getting so tired from watching all these late games.
This is the best-ever time to be taking a holiday because of all these late matches; you have it made, CJ!

Cornflower, there will always be sports people who blame equipment- no need to go bouncing mad over it, otherwise you'll out-do the ball, lol.

In the meantime, I'm forcing myself to learn the Sydney Swans club song; just in case they ever, in my lifetime, will win a game.

After Severin's "Marching Saints" singing spree I got inspired :)

It's a very cheerful song. Red and white are great colours, too, for a bracelet.

The song has a most impressive start:
"Cheer, cheer, the red and the white..."
I will, I will!
That's so easy to do especially now that most wines come with a screw top.

And then, they don't just ONLY march like the Saints do... oh no; they also lift a banner high, and shake the thunder from the sky.

That sounds exhausting after all that red and white wine, I hope they will have some energy left to play a game of football, let alone win.

Oh after the world cup I will re-spray your now orange head red, Cornflower, and your stalk white, lol.
And if they keep losing I will turn you to potpourri.

Will drop by occasionally to take a breather!
Thank you all again for so much entertainment!

CJ

Ping-Pong? Oh, forgot you are from the deep North, one must be considerate of Queenslanders, I understand it is to do with the humidity.

And enjoy your holiday, you lucky bugger. Its freezing down here - cold enough to freeze a corn off its flower.

Given your Nordic background, I would expect nothing less than a desire to "shake thunder from the sky". However, one has to be able to kick an oval ball, I'm sure you will get the hang of it.

Cheers to all and may the best team win.

That's St Kilda of course.
