current no.1 at our club vs BOZ HD

Rakiya is a very inconsistent product - there are heavenly liquids like muscat or slivovitza, but there are also lots of headbreaking fakes. And I never heard of 18-year old beer. This is important because I am a law-abiding person and don't mess with adolescents.

You said the magic word

So what are you gonna do boz?

Guess Imago didn't like to catch up on what beer we all drink...

Well, until you have tried "Innes and Gunns", you don't know what a good beer tastes like. It is matured in whiskey barrels and tastes delicious!

Boz, I don't envy you, spending all that money on rubbers =)

Nicefrog, I think that is a fairly accurate rating you have provided.

Put me in your ignore list, soft drunkies!

Cool by me, Im the same - Im an English teacher and I couldnt give a 3456 about spelling on this forum - as long as the message gets across.

nice edit to the spelling! mate too quick for me

XXXX stands for sXXt - its what i grew up on because my dad always buy it as its from Brisbane - factory right next to my primary school - smell of gas yay

We never seem to know in the UK what is the best Aussie Lager, we are led to believe through ads, its Fosters, or maybe Castle maine 4x, Is that true Boz? or is there some special Aussie stuff we don't know about? BTW, hold a loose grip on short service return on the half volley, this acts like a 'shock absorber' for long deep pushes, hold tighter.

I've allways thought that both Boz and myself are somewhere in the 2000-2200 ratings (US style) based on alot of Videos I've seen of US players I'm pretty sure I'm in the 2100 ish range. The Australian ratings are different and not directly comparable. I'm pretty sure about this so no salt is needed :). I also beleive that everywhere in the world a good club player in a small city will be rated 2100-2200 US depending on the size of the city. Above 2200 US I think is were you can start to compete in at the higher grades in larger (capital) cities. And also if you are below 2000 US then there's no chance you are the best player in your city unless you are from a very tiny little town. How does that sound for accurate :)

a forum is a site where you post things that you think will serve the future generations while a chat site is a site where you are doing your best to produce those future generations.

I meant that the one man who goes broke on his bh all the time says that fh is better...
Do you remember that match in the 2003 ws against that old spanish / chinese guy?  it was quite the save for kreanga. steel balls all the way defending a match point!!!

ipa = indian pale ale

Argh, better make yourself a gift - order 20 cheap rubbers from ebay and glue them on a returnboard. Half an hour practice is better than 7-miles distance in terms of loosing pounds. If there are two of you playing on the same side, as in squash, the results will surprise you.
