Bert sat at the kitchen table. He knew the two man rugby match had been a farce. When it came to tennis the guy who said 'Sheesh!' all the time was simply not in his league. Bert knew that. He'd issued a challenge and it had been accepted.
Now this!

Bert had been keen to play on regardless but the wet blankets at the club had gone on about Health and bloody Safety. He wondered why he even bothered with these geriatrics. Now Peter was claiming that the postponed match was a draw!

It pissed Bert off big time when Peter turned up to tennis wearing a helmet. Did he think it was World War II? Bert wanted to say, "Sheesh!" but he didn't. Instead he quietly said the Christian name and surname of God's only begotten son.
He suspected that Peter would now make one of those silly statements like claiming to be champion for all time. He sometimes thought that Peter should go back to primary school.
Bert was not a happy man.
