Glynjohnball

Man, all this HoDo-ing is tough. Anyway, after my last post, Glyn's comment reminded me of the joy that is Glynjohnball. After having ransacked my room, I found the only two surviving pictures of the creation of Glynjohnball. This game is native to the Channel Islands (in that we made it up in the pool room of the Salvation Army in St. Peter Port, Guernsey in 2003).

You may be wondering where the name 'Glynjohnball' came from. Well, we put Glyn's and my name together to make 'Glynjohn' and then we added 'ball'.

This is Glyn making a throw-in (you have to face the other way and throw it over your shoulder). Of course. This is Glyn and me mid-play. You'll notice that we're running. There's a lot of running in Glynjohnball (Glyn and I were at the tender age of 19 when this was taken, so we were much fitter).

Glynjohnball took off in a really big way. Before we knew it, loads of youngsters were playing it, and having a jolly good time. Until Lewis came in and told us to stop getting everyone overexcited.

Killjoy.
