A slightly more sensible poll than Pookie's, but not as sensible as Porky's
 

I need to know.

Before we had children and got fat, Kate and I used to play squash regularly.

It'd probably kill me now.

badminton is fun. i have never played squash.

Pookie, are you calling your wife-to-be fat?

Netball.

Netball:

I corrected the grammar in my post several times, so much so that the original meaning got lost. I'll rephrase:

Before we had children and I got fat, Kate and I used to play squash regularly.

I can't see sonicl's netball picture, but netball is more like basketball, but girls play it, and you can't move once you have the ball.

We used to try and look up girl's skirts when they were playing at school...But the head teacher threatened to tell my boss if I didn't leave the school grounds. Boom boom.

Squash.

Why do only girls play netball, Nefeli? I should have thought it was obvious - who would want to see a load of boys running around in short skirts?

Because it's a girl's game of course.

i played netball at school minus the skirt and wearing shorts and it was actually more fun than basketball.

argh! jonboy's gay!

you wish.

You don't think people might think we're a bit cliquey, do you?

who cares? it's not like we don't like new people who aren't stupid

Squash wins.

Badminton is nice but a bit floaty, Netball is for girls and Tennis is for massive bell ends. Sorry, that's the way it is.

now i want to play squash! never played it imagine that!

badminton is the floatiest land based sport i think, which is what i like about it

Yes, I like Badminton but Squash edges it out because it is a bit more action packed.

the thing i don't like about squash is that all you have to look at is a wall

I like the minimalism of squash. You can also look at the ceiling for a more sensory intense experience but that may negatively affect your game.

a teacher at my school died infront of everyone playing squash.

was he a games teacher?

do the girls actually play netball using a skirt?

a japanese girl once told me that middle aged men used to hang out by the school railings taking photos when there was a girls PE lesson at her school and they used to have to get the police to get the men to clear off

No, they wear the skirt. They use a ball.

haha, pardon my english... i was asking if they actually wear a skirt to play the game...

and for the sake of the sport, they do!

tennis, no contest...

Tennis is the greatest sport to play oneself (Golf is for old-timers that can't play tennis anymore), and one of the best to watch as a sporting event as well.

Any sport that features something called a "birdie" is for twats.

Twat.

What? Since when did Badminton involve Birdies? Are you getting confused with golf?

Atari is right on one thing. Golf is for twats who can't play tennis anymore. Both hateful, tedious games.

Badminton doesn't feature a "Birdie" does it? I know it features a "Cock", but where does the "Birdie" come into it?

There, cocks have been mentioned. Glice will be along in a minute.

Tennis, golf and anything that isn't basketball is for twats.

If that's your Limey terminology for a birdie, that's hardly an improvement. It may, however, more justifiably make you a collective bunch of twats.

oohhhh, get her!

it's called a shuttlecock in english. shuttles (i.e. space travel) are cool and having a cock is cool, therefore shuttlecocks (an object symbolizing a space traveling penis) are cool.

and thus in playing badminton we are celebrating and anticipating man's future exploration, conquest and colonization of unknown worlds.

It's a tough choice, they are all a bit too athletic. You could have included something a little less physical, like, say, table football.

I'm going with squash, despite my love for the term "shuttlecock."

Insert joke about T&B confessing his virginity, blah blah blah.

Christ, I've gotten lazy.

I used to play tennis, but I sucked. It's still better than the other options, though.
