Bloody hell, this seems to go one forever.

Does everyone do a really weird serve in it? Watching the other day, everyone seemed to be communing with the ball beforehand and loads of pretend tossing up in the air. Today, this Austrian player seems to be headbutting it

they're just having a fascinating discussions about whether the floor is an appropriate shade for a defensive player. apparently its usually red, but this time its blue - fortunately a just dark enough shade of blue for it not to matter. phew.

the british player is playing completely differently to all the other games i've seen - everyone else is just smashing it back n forth at an incredible pace, but this ones slow enough that i think i might be able to complete a return.
