Squash is a funny old game. Took it up in Thailand over Christmas and carried on over here in Honkers. On paper it is a ludicrous game and trying to hit a small rubber ball away from your opponent seems ridiculous but then so was Pong. In fact I see squash as a 3D version of Pong but with better graphics and added health benefits. Speaking of which this has to be the most tiring activity you can do. I play an hour at a time and, being as I am not much cop, I spend most of that hour chasing the ball around a room like a blind cat – great for burning the fat and cardio. I had my first lesson after missing a month and was very pleased that I had lost little of my technique. When I say technique I mean I can hit the ball like a girl instead of a stroke victim.
