    Oh yeah, brings back good memories. I remember those darn pidgeons were so hard to get consistent speed between one pidgeon to the next.;)

    Can you believe Ghostbusters 3 is coming out next year. I bet heaps of youngsters will wonder what happened to Ghostbusters 1 and 2. Can't really blame them, the first one came out 26 years ago and I saw it in the cinemas!

    When Ghostbusters 4 comes out you, me and Vien can take our kids to watch it in the cinemas.

    Its a cult movie, so its timeless like Star Wars and Big Trouble In Little China .. unlike you Ash i didnt see it at the cinema when it was first lease, but instead show a redigitise dvd version of it on my PS3 :p

    Before calling me old lets just remember ... You're qualified to play in the veterans events .. I still have to wait many many more years :D

    Since my girlfriend doesnt read this forum or is even interested in badminton for that matter its safe for me to say ... yes i still hold that grudge :p

    How does it feel getting beaten in every game when you played against a veteran earlier tonight at Titans ? How many games did I play against you, 4 I believe? I have to admit I was surprised that some of the games were quite close (well 2 of them anyway).

    You might be younger but from the way you (and Robbo77) were moving in the last game I could hear your joints creaking from my side of the court.

    You were partnering Anthong in one game and Carl in another. The only one you won was the one with me, I admit I felt sorry for you, sad chubby guy who was consistently getting beaten on the court by us and whipped off the court by QA ;)

    That's not nice calling Carl "extra extra large neanderthal man". His girlfriend likes him the way he is.:p

    CBA Tournament 2010

    The CBA tournament entry is due tomorrow ....

    It looks like D single, D double, and C Double are full .. but that still leave C single for the taken :D

    .. also I think Gary posted that there was someone in C men double looking for a partner so thats a trophy oppotunity there for the taking :)

    Oh and one more thing Vien.

    I have been losing weight for the last 2 months. Carls seems thinner as well. But Vien you have been putting on the kilos lately. So now the title of "extra extra large neanderthal man" goes to you.

    Good luck Vien. Make sure you wear the Loke Poh's T-shirt this time from 1st round onward. Maybe will bring you good luck.

    unbelievable as it is, this year CBA my best chance of a trophy is the B single event :) ... NO BLOODY VINCENT.. to stop me this time .. keep loosing to him in the semifinals :p
    That Loke Poh T-shirt is only to be worn at VIC Open and Monash Open tournaments ;)

    Its still a working progress fixture .. you can only see the entry in each event for now .. no ones been put into a pool yet.
    .. But how funny would it be if, You+Jacob, Aaron+Dee, and Tristram+Stefan get put into the same pool again :)
    I can predict the outcome .. You+Jacob beat Tristram+Stefan, but lose to Aaron+Dee.. and in turn Aaron+Dee looses to Tristram+Stefan .. and it goes down to precentage again :p

    Simple reason for this .. Aaron+Dee are an attacking team with strong smashes ... Tristram+Stefan are defensive players always a bit back from the net so they can return the attacks ... You like playing at the net, but against guys that dont do drop shots you're just a traget at the nets... but against Tristam+Stefan your net play is an advantage cause they play from the back of the court away from the nets... I should be a badminton commentator :D

    hmm.. some good insights there vien. but at ballarat aaron n dee beat trist and stef....
    if we are in the same pool this time, i'll be irate.
    the funnier thing is that aaron n dee have been allowed to enter bmd too. hahahahhahahaha
    all good, they are good players, and it's always a fun challenge to play against them.
    i think with some of your comments, we may have good insight into how to adjust our game to play against those pairings! cheers
