Retail therapy exists for those who don't play competitive sports

Ain't it the truth. And I'm not talking about anything wussy like bridge, flower arranging, tag-team crochet or touch rugby. No, I'm talking about a sport Belhaven Rest Home does not have a winning team for. That's right, squash. It has been my aim from day one of... oh gosh, last year, to have a regular exercise routine by playing squash at least twice a week. I just started. Then I just quit. Then I remembered that some day I wouldn't feel this knackered, however far off that may feel. So I began my squash mandate (and yes, the amusing pun has not escaped me, I'll be on these squash man dates with Dom ho ho.)

So... Any girls keen for a squash game?

Comments:
So you think squash, a non contact sport is not as wuzzy as touch or tag football? The number of injuries in touch is huge. I broke my nose playing touch. I guess if you define wuzzy as sports you don't play then fine.

Mind you playing squash in a confined space with a sweaty Dom probably is quite dangerous!

The key is getting a girl who is not completely useless, but doesn't beat you! It gets embarrassing in both situations.

You should try Real Tennis. It is a hybrid of tennis and squash played at Lords.
 
Um, I don't think I know how to play ... I have a basic understanding of tennis, and I can play racquetball -- and lose.

Do they have internet squash?

Wuzzy? Wasn't he the long haired muppet from Fraggle Rock?

Funnily enough, something sounds a little off when I say "any girls keen for touch?" Just being careful.

Well, Anemone, squash and racquetball are very similar (to the point of wondering why there was ever a breakaway) but after seeing the pros play squash on the internet I don't rate myself to win against anyone! Except Dom.

Internet squash - now there's an idea... For fitness of the mind :)
 
Wasn't she Red? I still have her Gobo, Boober and Wembley at home. I never got Moki.

Girls making playing touch fun. They add variety to the game and slow it down to my speed level, yet they make such a huge difference. While guys don't vary too much in ability, the winning and losing of mixed touch is with the girls.

Need I remind you that I did break my nose on the forehead of a girl playing touch. Her forehead was harder than my snoz.

I was thinking of the reason you play Dom. It's like playing board games. Even if you don't fear well, you always beat Dom. One never knows if he does that to make others feel better about themselves or can't help it?
 
Fuzzy Wuzzy was a bear!
 
Nah, in Fraggle Rock there were the Fraggles, the wee guys who lived deeper in the cave, and the big bad stupid guys who lived outside. I'm talking about one of the latter.

Listen: "Any girls keen for touch?"... OK, how about this: "Anyone ever heard of innuendo?"
 
Oh, innuendo ...

Seems I've heard of that before.

Anemone
 
You think that is worse than asking a girl to play some one on one out the back. I am talking basketball here.
 
I'll have you know Scotty that I have never in life let Jon beat me at squash or boardgames so the jokes on you! .... ushj.
