You had better watch out the next time you play tennis, you don't want to infringe upon this patent.

Bloody hell - the leaning on the knee forehand was my favourite shot Smile.



BTW - Nice to see the advanced editor doesn't have the white background anymore. That was really starting to annoy me Cool

That can't be for real ... what if you actually have a bad knee and wear a kneebrace since said knee pad would touch or come close to touching the surface of the court!

hmmm ....

Mine... Being the youngest in the office, I'm the only one whose age starts with a 1, although Tarrin comes close - but let's not count 3-digit ages Shocked

Re: [Michael_Bray] Party! In reply to
LOL! They certainly do! I had a huge house party when I was 18 and as a result one of my friends was hospitalised and I ended up paying my mum over £400 in damages to the house. Great fun, mind, and it's still the most talked about party :-)

Yeah - someone always ends up in hospital after a good 18th. I finished school about a month ago and went away with some mates for a week to celebrate. 2nd night there, four of us were in hospital with Acute Alcohol Intoxication Crazy Other then that it was a good trip!
