The tires are worn.  The shocks are shot.  The steering is wobbly.  But the engine still runs fine.

I'm not a baseball fan, but even I recognize both the skill of the batter and the humor of this play! :laugh:

Did you mean Rounders? Girls at school play that in the UK. 🤣

Martin, look up the movie A League Of Their Own.  Perhaps your UK school girls couple play with them.

Easy! We are hard in the UK. We even play rugby with no pads. I note you guys need to dress like its a nuclear war.

How well do the girls handle an 87 mph curveball?

Piece of cake. They have reflexes of a cat in the UK. And the coordination of a super being. You should see how they juggle lipstick, foundation, false eyelashes and eyeliner, its something to behold.

And check them out in the shops when there's a sale on, that stuff is on and off the hangars faster than the male eye can see and before you know it the credit card is scanned and like a greyhound they are off to the next store. 👍

Trust me, Ive seen it many times.

Since we are on the subject of UK females you might want to read a book I am almost finished with.  An Officer, Not A Gentleman by Mandy Hickson who joined the RAF and became the second woman to fly the Tornado GR4 in combat in Iraq.   Quite a woman!  You Brits can be proud of her.

Probably better than their men playing soccer. Not sure even Jacques Cousteau dived as much as soccer players do.

😒 We let you win though. We knew, thanks to an alien time traveller, that we would need you for the Second World War, so we gave you those.

Those alien temporal cops are very useful, they interfere in the time line for the common good. 

 

Noel, That was Brilliant, I saw that with my morning coffee it made my day

 Martin, that Rounders joke is so old, you deserve that bashing. We are now in the era of Genre Diversity get past your divisions 🤣

Just to be fair we would never have defeated the the British at Yorktown without the help of the French.  2500 Colonial Troops and 4000 French troops surround Cornwallis at Yorktown.  Cornwallis commanded 5,000 British and German troops at Yorktown.
