V is male
hello_cello
^ is right
< can't think of what to write below
V doesnt know their grandsire from their plain bob!
sarah123
^ Is correct ph34r.gif
< Probably should learn Plain bob one day
V Is about to tell me what the difference actually is. rolleyes.gif
hello_cello
^ Is also correct
In plain bob, you dodge when the treble leads, whoevers in 2nds place makes seconds, then leads. If its on an odd number, the person at the back stays there for four blows. Grandsire is the same, except the two is plain hunting, and therefore you dodge when the treble finishes its lead, and the two starts. Instead of making seconds, you make thirds.

< Is obsessed...
V doesn't care about any of that ^
sarah123
^ Is very definitely correct.
< Nods and smiles and pretends that some of that made sense.
V Is probably laughing at me.
