    I have strange BBQs, and seem to have stranger than life friends (even online ones). We did have garden jenga which was never played as it didn't stop raining until after 5, bloody English weather

    Limbo was really fun...

    Not as fun as swingball though - I beat T0PS 3 times (Back-hand AND forehand might I add)... :D

    I'm male...

    You'll have to ask T0PS yourself ;)
    What, like you've never done that before ;)

    Yeah, but I never admit it. I just act like they were already broken.

    It was too wet for the water slide :)

    SEBasic did get his first taste of powerball pain and I'm sure will be off to Firebox soon enough.

    Are you talking about the little spinning ball thing or the former American Gladiators event in which the gladiators try to tackle the contestants before they can put a ball in the scoring cylinders?

    Yeah yeah back to work,

    Firebox, I dread to think how much I have spent there over the years. They do have an affiliate program which I could have made a fortune with on my own sales :)

    Good luck, Al honey. I hope it all works out for you.

    If you need any advice about how to not have a proper job, PM me. ;)

    I just hope after 3 months you will have achieved more than just an extra 2,000 posts in the General Chat area of the DP forums. [​IMG]

    I have considered doing that but don't want to give too much away as there is obviously competition out there, I will be blogging about a fair amount of stuff that I do but have found in the past that site content has actually been copied so I am a bit more dubious now.

    Yeah, I'm not sure what that is... it looks like a mix of tennis and tetherball. Tetherball is a ball that looks like a volleyball on the end of a string stuck on a pole. You knock the ball around on the pole with your hand before your opponent wraps the ball around the pole their direction first. Not the best explanation, but hopefully you get the idea. Is that the way you play swingball?

    Grats on the 3 months dct. Read your blog... looks like you're off to a good start. :)

    Yeah, it's the same kind of thing as tetherball, except instead of kickinga large ball (Which is what I assume you do in tetherball), you have to hit a tennis ball with a bat. (I say bat because it's more of a bat than a racket).
