Badminton season has started.

Just had my first 2 hours of badminton of the season. Don't feel too bad just now, but it usually kicks in on the second day. We play from September twice a week through to April. There are only 4 of us so it's non-stop best of 3 games then change partners.
I gave up the golf 2 years ago so I'll have to do something to keep fit(ish).

Changing partners eh? No wonder its called shufflecock!

Another 2 hours tonight, I'm going to suffer in the morning. That's us into full swing now, 2 hours Friday nights and 2 hours Sunday nights. It takes 2 or 3 weeks before the body gets used to it.

Nah, Never,

Haha, Mermaid doesn't play. It's just 4 guys. We play best of three then swap partners until the 2 hours are up.

She is happy to let me go as it gives her a bit peace and quiet for a couple of hours...

When you are interested in a move to Brighton Cam, let me know.

Leave Scotland? Never going to happen mate...

No I suppose Edinburgh is quite a versatile place these days, for when you want to tell all.

Just looked up the "Urban dictionary" to see what "paggered" meant...knackered! (North Yorks saying seemingly).

Ha Ha, never thought sorry, Yes knackered too he is, He Reminds me of Jimmy Saville, Long straggely hair, roman nose etc, Pair of pillocks then, I want to shout at him. But he must realise its game over on the keep fit front,

He uses lots of slang nicked from other counties, The wee odd fish.
You keep up the playing with shuttleCocks Cam, and well done, ache tomorrow.

Seeing as you live in Scotland you will probably get looked after on the NHS after you've knackered your hips playing badminton at your age. We English know we have to behave sensibly.
