"Netball" is a sport. It's like Basketball, but it's more commonly played by women, and you can't run whilst holding the ball. I don't know the intricacies of playing the game, but that's a main difference.

I do like rugby, especially when the ABs do well but I'm not obssessed with it or anything like some people are a I like netball better (although I think its unfair that the Silver Ferns don't get paid and the ABs were arguing about how much they should get if they won the World Cup


Woohoo gloating time! Who did win the Rugby World Cup! ENGLAND! Yes, that's right my friends, good ol' England. Haha we rule!

Being as how you're from Manchester, I thought you'd be more of a soccer...er, football fan. Or was that general gloating...you know, the kind Americans never get since we lost domination of the of Olympics...and never had for any other competition... except maybe ice skating...Michelle Kwan won stuff sometimes right?

I am a mad football/soccer fan! Really am, believe me! But Rugby ain't a bad sport, and seeing as we did really well, I couldn't help but support them loads! When Jonny Wilkinson's kick went over, it was one of the most beautiful times of my life! Only sport does that! :D (j/k)

We were watching a Rugby game in Irealand. This guy comes out, camera zooms in on his 'gorgeous' blond hair, striking face, the whole shebang. Then 'Pretty Boy' ends up on the bottom of the stack and comes off the field 3 minutes later with none of those characteristics...and a bloody nose. My aunt was sayin something like, "Why does it always happen to the cute ones...." And everyone else was talking about how pretty he WAS...
Jeez, that's one rough sport.

I speak American.

It is just like English, except we have tons of slang from other nations, as well as words from other languages. Tortilla!

American English will rule the world, as we swallow whole languages!

So do I...

And then it scares people at school ('cept the british kid) when I say stuff I learned from Harlz, Emma, or Jack.:P

Mesh constantly spells her words the British way (hence the reason I never correct her spelling anymore) and apparently it's contagious because I keep mixing up "er" with "re" and "or" with "our." That could be a result of French, though.
