Take your shots

Today's lyric:

"Sometimes justice you will find, is just dumb, not colour-blind
And your poor shattered mind can't take it all in
All those phantoms and those shades, should jump up on Judgement Day
And say to the Almighty "I'm still stinking of sin"
But the jury was dismissed, took his neck and they give it a twist
So you see you won't be missed in those complicated shadows."

Elvis Costello: "Complicated shadows"
From the album: "All this useless beauty"

NOD and I were just winding down in our last game of badminton yesterday evening, when a couple of guys challenged us to a doubles game.

A couple of minutes into the match, I attempted to smash-return a lob, missed, brought the racquet down and tapped it over the net with a ground shot.

Whereupon, one of the blokes caught the shuttle in his hand.

"Wtf are you doing?" yelled his partner "he returned the shot! Mind you, I've never seen anyone take two hits and succeed in getting it back..."

We were losing when the next players wanted to take over our court, so we had to concede the game, but it would have been interesting to have played to the death?

But on top of our practice Moonwalk on Tuesday night, me poor old pins are knackered this morning!
