Seriously Hot Game Tonight (Thursday)

[joggerjayne]

This is one to watch ... !!

The "invincible" Northern Thunder, who have been on such awesome form this season

... playing at home against ... Surrey Storm (the only team who have beaten Thunder so far)

Yay ... Go Storm !!

Thunder ... out for revenge

Storm ... out to give Thunder a netball lesson

The game was played on Monday, so I know what happened.

You must must watch this.

Seriously you must.

SuperLeague Netball
SkySports 4
6pm-8pm

[boxtops]

why do they call themselves names like Thunder, and Storm?

[tenrec]

I am built like a netball player, and there the similarity stops! I haven't got Sky Sport unfortunately.

[joggerjayne]

Surrey Sunshine and Northern Kittens doesn't have the same ring to it.

Having said which, the Jamaican national team are always known as The Sunshine Girls, and we take them VERY seriously indeed.

[boxtops]

...reminds me of Thunderthighs....

[joggerjayne]

That's me at the moment, unfortunately. I got a bit "strong" over the winter, and I'm having trouble trimming them down.

Dilemma ...

Chain Smoker Pal wants me to go for a drink with her.

Plus side ...

An hour or two in the beer garden, couple of bottles of wine.

Minus side ...

I'll miss the netball

Okay, it's being shown again tomorrow.

Wine or Netball ?

Wine or Netball ?

=0/

[Lie-in King]

Record the netball & watch it when you get home?

[Nibble]

Ask the bar, if you're lucky & it's a quiet night then maybe, just maybe?? the staff'll put the netball on for you???




Or, then again as a minority sport - probably not ;-((

[joggerjayne]

can't

[DTCwordfan]

So what's your Brighton team called?

[joggerjayne]

We don't have a top level team here.

Our nearest SuperLeague side are Surrey Storm.

[joggerjayne]

Drink it is.

boxtops, they all appear to have been named by Larry Parnes, like his proteges Tommy Hicks (Tommy STEELE), Reg Patterson (Marty WILDE), Ron Wycherley (Billy FURY). Rock'n'roll, man.

According to Wikipedia, he failed to persuade Joe Brown to change his name to Elmer Twitch; but perhaps a netball team might consider it.

[joggerjayne]

Being shown again in 5 minutes !

[joggerjayne]

Storm beating Thunder 31-23 after two quarters.

You guys should be watching this. It's a really good match.

[murraymints]

thought you were going out for a run ???...got waylaid ?

[joggerjayne]

MM, that was two or two and a half hours ago. I've run, showered, changed. Now I'm at my desk, watching the netball on SkyGo on my lappy (pretending to work, LOL)

Storm are 11 ahead now.

[murraymints]

what IS IT that you do JJ ?

[joggerjayne]

Well, I have a little office in my flat (ie the second bedroom, LOL). I work freelance designing media promotions for fashion houses. Sounds a bit cheesey, I know, but it lets me work from home, and the hours I work are flexible.

40-45 now ... Thunder fighting back !

[joggerjayne]

3rd Quarter just ended ... 40-46 Storm leading.
