I still reackon Douglas, although one of my ex-teammates has a bat cover signed by Barnes. Way before my time I'm afraid.

Mr F, (if that is your real name?)

What happened in the mens doubles final at the commonwealth games?

I know we were playing the Nigerian team. What happened?

Ok 5-Nil I believe you are referring to the future High Wycombe and District Divsion 3 and 4 Champion. I believe he is ravishingly good looking and pretty useful at the table. I think you can see his stats for the season here:

Baron, why would you think that Mr F is not my real name??

I was surprised that Baggaley and Rushton got to the final as they were up against the Singapore pair but they played brilliantly to get there Rushton especially. Unfortunately I missed the final (way too much to drink and fell asleep) but they lost to the Nigerians. But I think that a silver is way above what they expected.

Kev you're right, unfortunately Denmark are ahead of us on that one with

Finn Tugwell.

And I'm sure you can make something out of the world number 1

I am impressed Mr F. You know more about Ping-Pong ( sorry, Table Tennis ) than I do about Formula 1 from the mid 1980's to around the year 2000.

Before i found poker forums I spent my time on the interent divided between

My league website, the English Table tennis website and the ITTF website.

So I know a fiar bit, the years I had to check though so it's not all stored upstairs. However you could test me on the last three years of the HWDTTL and I'd probably know it.

I remember the name mostly from the Austrailia Olympics in 2000. I know he won the doubles, but I can't remember the name of his team mate. He is a tall guy. Although everyone is a tall guy to me. I am 5'6.... lol
