Your social get-out clause is:

"Oh, sit down, I'll do that!"

[jasonelvis]

From now on, I'll be saying that to her all the time!

You might have to say it quite emphatically to some people though. I, for example, have a nasty tendency to go interfering in other people's kitchens.

[jasonelvis]

I wouldn't have thought that of you badass, considering how vigorously you defend your own kitchen from anyone not just passing through on the way for a wee.

[badasstronaut]

But that's the game. In your own kitchen you're on goal defence, in someone's else's you're goal attack. If you get to do stuff in someone else's kitchen you win a point, but you lose points if someone else does things in your kitchen.

And Jeremy's "Oh, sit down, I'll do that!" is a well known goal defence strategy.

I don't know if I remember the rules of netball well enough to know what you are on about. What about pivoting with squeaky plimsols? Where does that fit in?

[badasstronaut]

I'm not the best person to ask really. I was in team D4 (1A being the best) and was only there because they made me, and I seemed to get injured at every .. do they call it rehearsal? Whatever. There was one time when I had to leave the court twice in one rehearsal because my nose would bleed when the ball landed on it.

The other girls were too rough.

Weren't they! I played goal defence in general but really wasn't very good. One time the captain of the school team (this was primary school) picked me to be on the side. Our usual PE teacher was away but, when she came back and realised I'd played a match, she said that I was the last person she would have chosen. As I remember it I cried all the way home after that.

If you were that crap then obviously the captain of the team fancied you.
