Table tennis

[jazzy]

Haven’t actually played at St Jude’s, though I have at the Miners a few times. My home venue was Platt Bridge. Played in the scout hut at Rainford a few times. Played there against Geoff Pye amongst others. Not played in Wigan though for a couple of years

If you ever fancy a game in Southporg give me a shout.

I'm now on the management committee of that league. Who did you play for?

Formby Youth Club. No idea if they still exist!

I will do. Problem is, I live in Salford these days for my sins. Maybe when I retire from work next year and I’ve got a bit more time. Think Chris Ford was the top Southport player a few years ago. I can hear Geoff shouting ‘come on Pye’ in a strong St Helenian accent!

Well, Tories were never voted for from where I came from: Kirkdale...

So blow it out of your puckered sphincter...

No , bit interestingly we've just accepted a new team for next season ....Formby Lawn Tennis Club. Lovely set of lads and very keen.

A different game but a very skillful one.
Ping pong is played with hard bats.
Table tennis is played with sponge bats.
Somewhat confusingly you can play in the table tennis league with a hard ( ping pong ) bat - I can think of one very highly skilled player in my league who does - but you are at a massive disadvantage when it comes to imparting speed and spin.

Ha, thanks for the clarification. Tbh all this time I had thought table tennis and ping pong were the same so it is great to be enlightened ?

I’m a mess at ping pong so I am probably as bad at table tennis

As ever Fred is not totally truthfull. As chair of my local league I want to encourage more women to play ( for totally altruistic reasons ) Fred and Anje appropriated my good intentions. As ever I'm innocent.

No table tennis is much easier. Anyway off thread ( who cares ) if you want to understand the physche of Englishmen of mine and Fred's vintage you need to listen to stuff like Moody Blues ..Days of Future Passed. It shapped us.
