    Now i've just found out i can't make it tomorrow!!

    The wife is out so I'm in looking after the little ones.:eek:

    How it stands for tomorrow 21st Nov.

    YES=Wolfman, Slinkytoo, Findingnemo, mikedragon, Colin (a freind of mine)
    TO CONFIRM = Damo75
    NO= GingerDave, Eoin_s

    So you are looking at 6 (assuming Damo is a yes) tomorrow or 8 next week.
    I don't mind booking for tomorrow but you all need to make a call between you and let me know. I reckon we can borrow a ball from the Rec Centre, but will check.

    Sorry about that, totally didn't know the wife was out tomorrow (how dare she have a social life)!

    Let me know what you want to do.
    Cheers
    Dave

    If Damo can't make it, I can probably come along to make it 6.

    Yes, we need to keep firmer control of our wimminses :)

    We can still play 2 on 2, 3 on 3 or 2 on 3 with five or six of us and I'm still up for it.

    WRT borrowing a ball from the center, assume nothing! I'm not in a position to pick up a ball tomorrow, but if someone wants to get one (I'd recommend a Nike all-surface ball, not a rubber one), I'm sure we can share out the cost.

    Findingnemo is on for ball still tomorrow.

    I don't mind putting some money in for the ball but obviously can't cough up until next weds.

    Gatorade, cheerleaders, footwear endorsement deal, bling, recording contract...

    Old Skool:
    I wish I was little bit taller,
    I wish I was a baller
    I wish I had a girl who looked good
    I would call her
    I wish I had a rabbit in a hat with a bat
    and a '64 Impala

    Jeeeus, and i thought i was cool knowing the lyrics to High School Musical.

    Just to let you know tonight 8.30pm is booked and paid for under my name. It ended up being €20, €5 for the lights apparently.:confused:

    Assuming it all works and every one is on for a weekly thing, i'll be around for next weds 28th Nov. May be one of you could book it after the game?

    Have a good one!!

    Sounds like a plan. We'll just roll up to the courts and say "Yo! GingerDave hooked us up with some nets, bro"...

    €20 is still cheap for an hour.

    Looks like the weather might be okay for it too! Can't wait to see Eoin's skillz... :p

    I Got the Ball,
    I Got the jump skills of a rhino
    I Got the speed of dead tree frog
    I Got the hands of a small badger
    I have the endurance of the one second mating Flee
    I have the Eyes of a bat
    Have the sence of a turtle

    But the heart of a wolf.

    See ya all there..

    Mike and I presumed it's the one right beside Jackie Skelly's?

    Are we sorted for a ball by the way? Playing with an imaginary one isn't fun (though I do miss less).

    Just an idea at the moment. I think there is an outside basketball court up at Charlesland Rec Ground.

    That's the one by JS.

    Great session last night. Five of us appeared and played some 2 on 2 half court with rotating sub. Nemo took us all to school... :(

    The court is pretty good, well lit and decent hoops and backboards.

    I've booked the court again for the same time next week (under GingerDave's name).

    Was great Fun, had a wicked time...

    Fresh Air knocked me for six...
    Court was alot better than i expected, but abit to wet.

    Was nice to throw some swish's... was impressed by the quality of the game,

    I think with a few weeks more experiance we will be different players all together!.

    Def a sport that will get the fat off you and the **** out of your lungs...

    watching a good 10 minutes from the side line, i could see a hugh learning curve happening with you guys....

    Im sure there will me amazing slam Dunks, High Air... and of course loads of dribbling....lol !

    Great fun last night, already looking forward to the next session, even if Nemo made eejits out of us. Excellent rec centre there too.

    Edit - well done to GingerDave for organising it, hopefully we can keep it going.

    turn up 5 euro.....

    normally around 10-12 people there..and a few top players too...

    I would go, but need abit more practice i think...

    can be brutal if your expected to run around none-stop 45 minutes slam dunking...

    I don't think the others will mind me saying that with the exception of Nemo, I really doubt the skill level will be too high! Airballs galore.

    gingerdave, I think you'll find it's the Mods that teamed up together and were doing lakers sh1t style passing that made us look like puppets on strings

    I think a fair team next week are the two mods against the rest !!

    p.s we should really come up with a suitable name for the new team :-)

    IIRC, for every superfly move we pulled off (two - one reverse pass through traffic and one dribble between legs) there were about 50 mistakes, not counting my shocking display at shooting from outside the key.

    It's all Wolf's fault for not pumping the ball up.

    Next week, once we've taken Nemo out with a "poorly judged" attempt to block, the MODERATORS WILL RULE!

    I believe the term is "stuffed" isn't it, when you block someone ?


    wasn't that what I managed to do to you once :-)
    It's awfully embarrassing when that happens, not that I'd know of course
