Never played, despite being very competent at racket sports in general.

I always associate squash with proper 80s yuppies and very short , tight white shorts

Got quite the mental image of HYG going - sweatbands are involved

I’ve played this about four or five times now. Was enjoying it until I fell over. Have since split with the person I played with but would definitely play again. Fun innit.

Prefer racquet ball

#18

Stick some Roxy Music on before a game to really get in the mood.

highest % of utter cunts playing it of any sport - perhaps even higher than polo.

This game is getting sexier by the minute.

Keep typing…

^this, plus that early-90s episode of Casualty where a squash player tripped and fell, the racquet head snapped off and the shaft went into their neck and blood went everywhere.

Oh god, I’d be so unfit at the moment. But I’m game.

Enjoy playing it but with the aim of scoring extra points when you hit your opponent.

It’s very fun, played with some mates that play quite a lot. Got trounced by my one mate who is incredible at every sport and is an utter cunt for that reason but gave the other two a good game

thought you’d be a real tennis kind of guy

No, it’s played with a different racquet and a smaller, less bouncy ball;

I really need to start playing sport again, so having people to do it with would be ace.

I have been to the real tennis court in Newcastle but never played. It is a very odd sport indeed.

I’d probably prefer to get my eye back in with a bit of badminton before tackling squash.

Do you reckon with a couple of years practice you could knock this dude off his perch?
