I used to play a lot. A certain Mr. Tueart was the best leisure player I’ve ever seen. A workmate of mine who was very good struggled against him. I didn’t even try, nowhere near his standard.It's the new Squash. Does anyone play that anymore?

It's not the worst sport for that though...Saw someone recently describe it as "if LinkedIn was a sport", which made me laugh.

Yes I'd heard that. One of my colleagues used to play against him at Sale Rugby Club, which we worked just over the road from. George was a good player but used to say Dennis was a fierce competitor.I used to play a lot. A certain Mr. Tueart was the best leisure player I’ve ever seen.

Which Costa are you referring to?Great fun, very popular down her on the Costa. It’s actually more fun if you’re just of an average standard, playing with a few mates. Had heard it’s a fortune to hire courts back in the UK, it’s not exactly gonna attract many folk if that’s the case.
I'm looking at going to Costa del sol to play in October.
Only started playing a month ago and I'm addicted.
“Fierce competitor”Yes I'd heard that. One of my colleagues used to play against him at Sale Rugby Club, which we worked just over the road from. George was a good player but used to say Dennis was a fierce competitor.
I played 5 a side against a team set up by Dennis. He ‘tackled’ me by kicking my tib as hard as he could. Later he sent me a cartoon of an injured leg which he signed. It said ‘Sorry Mark, went in a bit hard’ Ha!
My son was fascinated by my having a personal item signed by such a famous player.
