Hockey. I played to quite a high level (basically semi pro) until my early 20s and I'd love another crack at making a living from it.
Me too, but even now it is still incredibly difficult to make ends meet, plus my knees are still knackered.

Fnaar was a nurse who liked diving and got disqualified from the breaststroke for doing it wrong.(I was a nurse, many years ago)
(I was good at swimming and very good at diving (somersaults, etc)
I got disqualified from the breaststroke (after winning) because of using a 'screw kick' rather than a conventional kick.

Oh er missus.
Finbar Saunders would have a field day with that sort of information.



Our dining room table although oblong in shape was good because it opened up to about the size of a full sized TT table. I became so good that i fancied it as a 'career'. Sadly my aspirations came to an end one day when my dad came home early and caught about 8 of us having a table tennis knockout. He read me the riot act saying that if he caught me skiving again he'd 'shove that bat where the sun don't shine'!
. So that was it. No more ideas of becoming a pro table tennis player(If such a thing existed) After that episode me and a few others took up air rifle shooting up at the local reservoir. That was also done in school skiving time as well.
Has table tennis been mentioned yet? They say or used to say that being good at snooker or pool was a sign of a miss-spent youth,but at our during my school days it was table tennis that led you astray.
