England have three Netball fixtures against Australia at the end of this month.

The Diamonds are the world number ones. The last time they played a Test series here was in 2010 ... and we beat them! Yaay!

The first game is on 20 January. Watch this space for a match report!

I once made the mistake of playing in a (mixed) Staff v Pupils basketball match, where some of the Pupils team was made up of members of the school netball side. One particularly big 15-year-old young lady jumped way above me, binging her elbow down onto my skull as she did so, rendering me unconscious in front of hundreds of pupils!

We had a Red Setter years ago who would sneak off and join in the netball at the local school.

[joggerjayne]

I'm trying to think of a humorous response involving red setters and netball.

It's quite difficult.

[owdhamer]

Nothing funny jj a farmer shot him.

European boomerangs spin the other way.

[joggerjayne]

The Australians didn't invent lager ??

It seems unbelievable.

Well they definitely invented flip flops.

[Mick-Talbot]

Na, they just renamed them 'thongs'

[joggerjayne]

They must have invented something.

Hang on ... was Tim Berners Lee Australian? Did they invent the Web?
