Welcome. We have a very strange letter from a guy known only as 'Mandy', but I 'appen to know that his first name is Peter. Ok, here it is:
Dear Geoff,
I have a serious problem. Just recently I have developed the most dreadful anal warts. Not just one or two either. Scores of the bastards. It hurts when I sit down. And Ronaldo wont play leapfrog with me any more. I really like it when he plays leapfrog. Especially when he fails to clear me.
But Geoff, really what can I do? It is ruining my life. I've tried all the doctors. I've tried all the cures. You are my only help.
Yours
Mandy
Right. Anal warts you say? Nasty. Very nasty. Once the surface starts to crack up after three or four days it becomes harder to stay in. It's a real test of skill. Footwork and timing are all very well, but if there are lots of rough patches and balls turning square then forget it.
My advice? Try playing it from the other end. It's always easier is that. Your partner may complain a bit at first, but if you can play for a not out he will thank you for it later.
Keep the letters coming in. My corridor is always open.
