I've just played badminton against my 15 year old son and lost for the first time ever. I'm now officially past it.

You could still take him, you just have to be cannier about it.

True. I could take him and if he beats me, leave him there to walk home. That'll learn him.

Did you not offer him a double-or-quits arm wrestle immediately afterwards?

Not wishing to go into too much detail over this, but since I last played, they've changed the scoring rules so that you can score a point irrespective of whether you're serving or not. Apparently this speeds the game up or something . Anyway, what it means is that it makes it far less tactical (and more importantly doesn't give any room for a rest). Needless to say that when we played the "old rules", I won, but playing the "new rules", he won. Must be something about the younger generation living life quicker than my generation. I guess a similar analogy would be between me playing Pong tennis and him playing Call of duty?

Hmmmmmm. When I played for school you had to win serve before you could win a point!

Indeed and get this, they've also meddled with table tennis scoring. Gone are the 5 serves each. It's now 2. What's happened? The world's gone mad, mad I tell you.

Bastards. I'm glad that we're all going to die on Friday now. Serve those rule-changing bastards right.

That was indeed Mick Hucknall's first band, except they were nothing, and I mean nothing, like Simply Red.

So they weren't complete and utter shite to the point of trying to rip one's ears off then?

Oh no. They were much much worse. They were punk but not very good at it... you've got to be truly world-class shite to pull that off. How can I put this, you'd want to rip your ears off and then twist your own bollocks off to stuff into the remaining earholes.
