If this one goes I will make more than a racquet!

It’s always nice to know that the world hates you. I have been finding that the world hates me rather more than I first thought.

You may or may not remember that I have been having a little trouble with my badminton racquet over the last month or so.

First, I broke my old workhorse which served me well, but alas, it’s time came. I accepted that quite well since I knew it was coming. Then I got a new racquet, all very nice, worked well etc. A few weeks later the string broke! To say the least I was irked by this. Being the good little soldier I am, off I went and had it re-strung (at the cost of £15) in Brighton on Friday. I combined this with a visit to Thomas and a bit of shopping. You see, at this time I was feeling quite flush with money. I bought a 512MB SD card for my camera and a card reader too. They were planned purchases and this seemed like a good time to get them. Strike while the iron was hot and all that. Apart from anything else, I didn’t know how long it would be before I would be feeling broke again. The time came a little sooner than I thought. I went to badminton that evening and as with the previous week, something broke. Now you would have though the string would have broken, that being the bit that was 6 hours old. Oh no, the world hates me much more than that. I snapped the racquet in two places. As you will see from these pictures, it’s looking rather buggered. So today, I have been to Brighton again. I now have another one. I haven’t even taken it out of its bag for fear of breaking it. Next weeks badminton should be interesting….

In other news…no wait, that can’t be…don’t be silly Craig, you don’t have any news….

Ah, actually, as sceptical as I’m being, I do!

Today being 1st of April I played a little joke. Actually, I’m over ratting it. It wasn’t a joke, not even a prank really. I think it would be best described as just me using the date as a good excuse for pissing people off.

Jonners, (who I go halves on web hosting with) has a blog. His blog gets viewed lots. Today it wasn’t viewed much at all. It may have something to do with it looking like this….
