Okay, let's get one thing straight, the tennis club at Whangarei Heads is not flash.
The old people who played there on a Tuesday had to bring their own fold up chairs to watch their star player Tommy annihilate opponents. Some of the old souls called him Tommy the Know All. He'd had a close game once with an old fellow named Peter.
Because of a business he used to run, Peter was known affectionately as Wafer.
Tommy had won the first game against Wafer, but Wafer was not happy about how he did it. Tommy had fired a ball straight at Wafer. Wafer claimed it was deliberate and had stormed off on that Tuesday. Now there was a rematch coming up.
Wafer was late, so Tommy sat on his deckchair sipping from a bottle of sugar free Coke. He lectured those around him on politics and how the new Auckland mayor would eventually be prime minister and replace that Nazi lady. Tommy said that he was tired of losing his freedoms. Most of the old people nearby weren't interested. Some had even forgotten where Auckland was.
When Wafer turned up, he was wearing what looked like a bullet proof vest and carrying a cricket bat.
This was a trusty bat that he had used in the 1960s when he starred for the 15th. eleven at Saint Patrick's College (town). If this know all was going to hit balls at him, he was ready to hit them back!
Then Richard (of RBB), who was writing this post, needed the bathroom.
