Maybe my backhand will improve.
Twenty-five percent of our household had to work this weekend. Fifty percent of us participated in this important cultural event. Twenty-five percent of us don't understand what all the fuss is about, but intend to try out a fun-sounding tennis game. Tennis without having to wait for an available court at Hamilton Park? That's something 100% of us can get behind, I'm sure.

Sean, dude, This thing is amazing, Zelda has never played so well!
Okay, apropos of nothing at all, except that I just had a very nice phone conversation with Liz and she said that Moray likes some of my references to the sceptred isle and now all this stuff has started to go through my head, and now it is time to blogpurge my brain. It is a fragment of a Beyond the Fringe skit that I used to repeat to Jonathan, imperfectly remembered, certainly:
"Perkins!"
"Yes, sir."
"Perkins, the war's not going very well, you know."
"Oh my God. (pause) Sir."
"It's two down, and the ball's in the enemy's court. We're in need of a futile gesture at this stage of the war."
"Yes, sir."
"You know, Perkins, how, often, in a game of football, ten men play better than eleven?"
"Yes, sir."
"Well, Perkins, we want you to be that eleventh man. Pop into a crate. Fly over to Bremen. Take a shoofty."
"Yes, sir."
"Don't come back. God, how I wish I were going with you. Good-bye, Perkins."
"Good-bye, sir. Or, perhaps, au revoir."
"No..o, Perkins."
And, another skit fragment, referencing Her Majesty's strategic strike force and the Sea Slug, a "ludicrously cumbersome vehicle, depending, as it does, upon a team of four highly trained runners to carry it to its target."
"Her Majesty's government bases its strategic posture upon the principle of nuclear deterrence. What is nuclear deterrence? I hear a strangled cry. Well, let us say that an unnamed power drops a nuclear missile upon Great Britain. Her Majesty 's government would, in turn, drop a nuclear missile upon the unnamed power, thereby effectively deter ... thereby effectively det... deter ... thereby jolly well serving them right!"
So, there you have it.
Bob's your uncle.
