RIP M.J.
And when that happened I went and bought another beacuse the music is timeless classic pop. You listen to it now and all the freakshow elements from his later life just dissappear. Thriller is apparantly still the best selling album of all time and its sales on Itunes (Other online music stores are available) are only adding to that achievment.
He made the mistake common to those the public revere as Gods, he started to think he was one. If you surround yourself with Yes men, whose continued employement revolves around agreeing with every word that drops from your lips, then don't be surprised when you find yourself dangling your son over a balcony or feeding alcohol to minor because no-one had the termerity to say "No".
Goodbye (to the singer of ) Billie Jean, you left us with Three classic albums, a couple of crap ones, Thousands of unredeemable o2 tickets and a rainforests worth of tabloid headlines.

Things we have learnt...
1) Andy can hit a man so hard that he will BURST INTO FLAME!
2) A daisy taped to the front of a helmet not only provides extra protection but good cover in a flower bed (Em).
3) Standing downwind of a flatulent Wizard (Llion) is never a good idea.
4) Teasing a randy Dwarf (Will) is taking your life, and your trousers into you own hands.

Bad of the minton
We play on thursday with a mixed ability group which most times gives an uneven balance which is nice because no-one takes it seriously. Well, apart from She-who-must-not-be-named , see Llions blog for details.
However, tonight we had a brilliant match-up for our third game which meant I was trying my hardest but still having a good amount of banter with the opposition. It really made my night fantastic and reminded me why I really enjoy playing.
It can really be like a chess game sometimes, actually probably more like Poker. I can anticipate the move that my opponent is going to make and try to counter it by my body placement on court. But sometimes they can throw out a total wildcard and leave you looking like a right numpty.
Actually that happens more than I'd like to admit.....
