Thank You Barbra <3
I hope you and yours are all well too. Enjoy your trip out :-)

I HAVE WATCHED THE GAME AGAIN! :-D

PHENOMENAL! <3

When I'm typing my Radio Jem "Commentary" I miss such a lot, as I need to look at the keys and the screen to type. This means that I mostly rely on what I am hearing more than what I'm actually seeing.

WHAT A FANTASTIC GAME IT WAS!

As much as I would have loved to see the Lions come away with a series win yesterday, the first since 1971, A DRAW was actually A FAIR RESULT!

BOTH TEAMS WERE OUTSTANDING IN MY OPINION.



Thanks to the Sky recording box, the pause and rewind button, and the edit button on GR, I have been able to expand on my Live Commentary while re-watching the game! :-D :-D :-D

I wanted to do this, so that I can have as accurate a record of that wonderful game as I could, so in years to come I can read back and remember the game.:-)

Yes, this Lions Rugby Thread 2017 will be like a diary for me, to not only remind me of the Tour, but of the friendship and camaraderie of you wonderful GR Pals and the fun I experienced whilst sharing the games with you all.:-)


THANK YOU MY FRIENDS <3 <3 <3
