Vegging out

Lishmanaldo,

Nigel in typical tongue in cheek mode there. Well, from acting on the small stage, to playing tennis on the greatest stage of all. I bring you Broughton tennis club and who better than the four times Broughton Tennis club under-16s champion - Andrew 'Veg' Paterson esquire with an Agassi-esque top spin forehand of a message.

Hi Pete, Veg here, try this for size, feel free to edit as appropriate (for instance if Don Elliot happens to be at the wedding!):

Hi Alan,

So Pete tells me you're getting married soon, on the other side of the world, congratulations! Who would have predicted *that* when we were still at school, playing tennis at every opportunity and trying to get to one of Jason and Danny's raves whenever we could?

I can safely say we're both better off without Don as our tennis coach, now that I think back to his questionable technique. But I do miss a good tennis match and I rarely have the opportunity to play nowadays what with having swapped sports to play Ultimate frisbee. I'm not sure I really miss travelling to the ever-so-exotic locations we used to visit early on Saturday mornings (Chorley, Woodplumpton, Barton!). However I do remember with fondness our Broughton Junior doubles team set-up: Pete and you invariably paired together, plus me and Paul. I also remember not winning much, but was that ever the point? The main thing is that we had a laugh, something I hope you're still doing nearly twenty years afterwards.

Once more, congratulations from me, and look me up if you're ever around Manchester.

Yours,

Andrew ("Veg")

Thanks Veg. He hasn't lost his touch has he. A legend in every way. Can't believe he left such a talent to rot and took up ultimate frisbee.....
