    wow, oldhand, that's great one.
    For a moment, I thought it strange that you may be anti-French.Amazing how when English words are reversed,mostly they come out so French.
    btw, have you sent this to BWF,esp Datuk Punch? One of them may get a heart attack; the ones who are spared may work overtime today.
    Enjoyed your great sense of fun.

    April Fool's Day 2008 @Badminton Central

    .
    Knowing it's April Fool's Day today, we were expecting someone to make us fools.

    Oldhand, you have succeeded to fool some of us. :D:D:D

    i don't see why everyone is complaining.
    chess is so much more physically demanding than badminton.
    and croquet, well, enough said ...
