Thracian Posted 27 April 2008 Posted 27 April 2008 Quite by surprise my eldest's two lads each won their respective county age group squash championships today. Both are sports mad and although the youngest has attended an Arsenal football training camp for a season or so that's their first honours at county level. Suddenly it seems a nice time to be a grandad.

Simi Posted 27 April 2008 Posted 27 April 2008 Well done to them. I thought one of them had a kid. Then when I read the first few words talking about both sons, I was even more concerned. Damn you and your edit.

coale39 Posted 28 April 2008 Posted 28 April 2008 All those years of pushing them to do a rubbish sport worked then. Squash is awesome!
Fox You Forest Posted 28 April 2008 Posted 28 April 2008 Squash is awesome! Yeah Orange squash is my favourite.
Guest Posted 28 April 2008 Posted 28 April 2008 Nice one! my can't pee in a potty yet. And he's only 25, bless! Typical bloke!
NorthernFox Posted 28 April 2008 Posted 28 April 2008 And he's only 25, bless! Typical bloke! Least we know how to operate the toilet seat!! Congratulations Thracian.
Thracian Posted 28 April 2008 Author Posted 28 April 2008 All those years of pushing them to do a rubbish sport worked then. It's not my scene pushing kids to do anything. They live a fair way away from me and I doubt I've ever mentioned the game, much less played against them. But their dad plays and the reason their success came as a surprise was that they'd shown no interest at all in joining him until a few months back then, suddenly, they couldn't get enough of it. I didn't even know they were in the competition until their dad casually mentioned they'd won. Not saying I don't fancy a bit of a knock with em now though, they have been dropping hints!
