[richard murray]

[Luncheon]

[TheChosenOneReturns!]

The Chosen One is sponsored by the Magic!

[valley's Boy]

[redkingjoe]

Hey im new to this site. My sponsor is yonex.:cool:

welcome to badders.com! glad that you posted!

the chinese national team or HongKong team members will get yonex "cp" code rackets...do you happen to get any special code racket in your country?

[Admiral]

The Admiral presumes you mean Sponsorship and not Sponsership – come on Richard, school boy error!

The Admiral is sponsored by Viagra, it’s easy to get it but once you have it’s hard to keep hold of!!

[alansd]

Getting to that age where every little helps sailor!!

[AlistairCasey]

The Admiral is sponsored by Viagra, it’s easy to get it but once you have it’s hard to keep hold of!!

Amongst others im sponsored by Smart-Tec Performance Nutrition www.smart-tec.net

They have a cheeky little product you might be interested in Admiral. ;)

Carefull now, you'll fail an IOC on it though! :rolleyes:

[Admiral]

Thanks Alistair but The Admiral has to be very careful not to upset his sponsors....!!

[richard murray]

Yes but is any one getting sponsered?

[valley's Boy]

Ha i get d error. Yeaah get wat u mean about bein able to keep it especially the way i've bn playin lately! So are there many open events coming up in England? So wat sponsorship do u hv?

[richard murray]

sponsered by myself, like most people, pity its not tax deductable

[TheChosenOneReturns!]

Spoke to the Magic for you tricky dicky.

They said they would be interested in looking at some sort of work/sponsorship proposal for you.

If your interested, let me know.

[richard murray]

Do you need to have any badminton skills?

[TheChosenOneReturns!]

hows your round the back shot?

[alansd]

I think for the magic taking a shot on the back would be more like it!

[richard murray]

haha same as the rst of my game crap, does that make a difference?

[TheChosenOneReturns!]

ladybird knows what im talking about!

when were you last in Bangkok Alan?

Dont lie now!!

[alansd]

never bangedcock in my life!! What you suggesting!!

[TheChosenOneReturns!]

hows the sponsorship hunt going on for you Alan?

after those heady days with Ladybird and Primark, how you finding it now?

[alansd]

Its tough, things are so cutthroat these days. You loose in the first round of an elite and they forget about you. The sponsors dont remember last season when I was taking the badminton bonanzas by storm, I got about 20 quid in yehlex vouchers... enough to kits yourself out in that stuff but I didnt take it because of contractual reasons.... now. I am stuck playing with pissy yonex rackets!! Whats it all coming to these days!!

[TheChosenOneReturns!]

Well always keep in mind that the Magic will give you a bed for the night if you ever need it.

:D

You not thought of approaching Titan sports, just for the banter?

[alansd]

Perhaps I should.......
Nah I'll stick with what I know!!

[TheChosenOneReturns!]

it would be quality if....

"after consideration of your request for sponsorship with Titan Sports we would like to politey decline at this moment in time, as we have already reached our quota for the season"

Rejected by Titan!!! :eek:

[kimboshay]

haha Titan are preparing for global domination!!!

chosen one you wanna put a good word in for kimmy, see if i can get sponsored by the magic.......they wont reject me because of my lack of a net kill will they:confused:

[alansd]

nope but the lack of a backhand might be a problem.........

[TheChosenOneReturns!]

your ping pong credential would probably help. send me a cv, pics included.

:D

[kimboshay]

how u no about my lack of backhand as well alan!! you are not helping!:D

haha ok chosen one, will send my c.v. off to you......prior warning tho, these pics may cause offence:D

[TheChosenOneReturns!]

who would win if you two ladies played each other at singles?

the chosen one likes a bet!

(no alan, you don't get two serves!)

[kimboshay]

ooh a bet eh chosen one!

how bout we find out in cambs alan?????

[alansd]

you and Obi Wan love these little side bets.... I reckon playing three events might be enough for me!! Remember I am almost 10 years older than you! and running round you in the obstacle singles could finish me off!!
But if you want to put some money on it I might be able to drag my old bones on court.....

[TheChosenOneReturns!]

the chosen one thinks he could get good odds on you, we could maybe arrange a little bung maybe throw the match?

i know the Admiral likes a bet, i sense a hustle!!

[kimboshay]

haha obstacle singles i like it alnstd!!!

ooh go on then chosen one! where is the admiral? maybe he is choosing what hat he will let you eat when his lady the pittard wins the nationals:D

[alansd]

you changed that message just as I was going to comment on you offering to suck in the sailor!!
Git

[TheChosenOneReturns!]

GAME ON!!!!!

Lets start a poll as well, i know the Belcher likes a poll!!!

Who would win in a game of singles? Ladybird or Kimmy?

Come on site support, you know you want to see the response as much as I do!!!

:D

[kimboshay]

chosen one is on fine form today, SS start the poll!!!

[TheChosenOneReturns!]

you changed that message just as I was going to comment on you offering to suck in the sailor!!
Git

the chosen one is trying to stay clear of the homo banter this week ladybird.

he does not want to further offend his dear friends the petshop ladies.

dont be a bad influence now!!

[TheChosenOneReturns!]

and keeping things on topic, badders.com could sponsor the exhibition match!!!

markymark can officiate!!!

you interested in this marky? I think a strong hand is probably needed in this game, stop that ladybird, we all know who low he can get!!

[alansd]

where and when are we having this.... just saw rocky last week and think I could follow his training schedule for getting my old bones in shape!!

[TheChosenOneReturns!]

order of play is...

firm up a date, firm up an umpire (you'll need one kimmy!!)

and then when all is in place, SS can start the poll

(and the chosen one can open his book :rolleyes: )

[kimboshay]

i am up for it wenever!!!! wen are you alan

[alansd]

I am not going to jersey!!!

I tell you what kimmy, if you do come for the Challenger, I'll give you a game on the friday night at wimbledon!
I have named the date and venue. All that remains is for kimmy to backout.

Where can I get my shirts printed with Ladybird on the back??

The tricks I have up my sleeve marky wont stand a chance!

[TheChosenOneReturns!]

thing is kimmy, ladybird talks a good game but does he walk a good game?

If SS start this poll and then ladybird sees everyone voting for you, hes guaranteed to play!!!

:D

[alansd]

I was challenged by another member of this forum and didnt back out and even was willing to put the beer on it so doubt I will be running away from Kimmy. She is only little just stick her on the back line and she is going nowhere!!

[kimboshay]

ah-ha banter fantastic alan!!

well you already no my prediciment for the challenger!!!! but i will try my best and come over!!!

where is this poll SS???
so who are you putting your money on chosen one?

[alansd]

so who are you putting your money on chosen one?

She is backing out already!!
I will be slowing those shuttles down as well, nice high serve and the game is over!!

[Luncheon]

I think you're in trouble Al.....Kimmy's one of the few girls I've seen jump smash.....I've never (thankfully) seen you jump.....let alone smash!!!!!

[kimboshay]

is that your vote going for me luncheon??

thanks to mr.c i do indeed have a jump smash!
alan i am not backing out, i am up for the game!

[alansd]

She may jump to smash but there are 2 points here.
1) She is so short it comes across the net as a drive
2) She jumps lands and then hits it!! or so I was told by someone that saw her singles at the hants!!
Easy money!!

lastly..... I have a cracking jump smash, someone actually captured me so I have a photo as proof!!

[TheChosenOneReturns!]

is that your vote going for me luncheon??

thanks to mr.c i do indeed have a jump smash!
alan i am not backing out, i am up for the game!

Your going down ladybird.... GOING DOWN!!!

(make sure you wash up first kimmy darling!)

[Luncheon]

lastly..... I have a floor cracking jump smash, someone actually captured me so I have a photo as proof!!

A floor cracking jump smash...does that mean when you land you crack the floor????

[alansd]

are you really the person that wants to bring up this........

I didnt even know I had typed floor in that sentance!!

[Luncheon]

nothing like an honest quote!!!!

Luncheon sussex elite 2006 Mens doubles being attended to by physio

You really went for everything, it was a brave effort

[ObiWan]

Very interesting challenge,as Kimbo and myself have a challenge match arranged for guernsey at easter.
Eagerly awaiting time and place for the kimbo/alan match.
So kimbo,no net kill,no backhand and a horizontal jump smash eh??
Cant wait.....

[alansd]

She's still turn you over Obi wan!!!

[kimboshay]

so i leave you all for 10mins and i get all this abuse!

as for my jump land smash, who sed that????
my immense defense will prevail alan, you see........

indeed obi we do have our own bet for guernsey.....happy trainig for that :D

[ObiWan]

who can tell what will happen in april??
i can sense some money and/or beer changing hands...........

[TheChosenOneReturns!]

She's still turn you over Obi wan!!!


markymark is going to have to be on top form.

how do you officiate against an opponent using the Force?

tough one for you kimmy!

[kimboshay]

have nothing to lose chosen one!

if they get spanked by a girl, bit embarasing!!!:D

[alansd]

so i leave you all for 10mins and i get all this abuse!

as for my jump land smash, who sed that????
my immense defense will prevail alan, you see........

indeed obi we do have our own bet for guernsey.....happy trainig for that :D

You can only defend if I smash, and thats not going to happen, womens doubles tactics.... drop drop clear all the way, lets see how those little legs carry you!!

[kimboshay]

are you not going to smash because you cant alan????

[alansd]

Actually, I should wait until she plays ObiWan... If she doesnt beat him she doesnt get a shot at the champ.
Sound resonable?

[alansd]

I thought it was the jedi that used the mind tricks, my mind is strong though. These tricks dont work on me!

[ObiWan]

no,alan you need to play kimbo first so I can watch(?)

[ObiWan]

have nothing to lose chosen one!

if they get spanked by a girl, bit embarasing!!!:D



nothing wrong with that.......especially in Bangkok,eh Chosen One??

[TheChosenOneReturns!]

no,alan you need to play kimbo first so I can watch(?)

i think you lads should go for a 2v1 and I could watch?

thinky kimmy could be more than a handfull for both of you together!

[valley's Boy]

I like dis banter, its wat badminton is al about!!:) So who's ur money on then Chosen One? Is it a straight forward win to kinboshay or do the other two stand a chance?! I feel this one could be like a game of chess!:cool:

[TheChosenOneReturns!]

its an interesting one...

obi v kimmy WIN FOR OBI !!!!

ladybird v kimmy WIN FOR KIMMY !!!!!

ladybird and obi v kimmy WIN FOR KIMMY !!!!

You may be a Jedi Knight Obi but carrying ladybird through a 2v1 might be a bit beyond you!!

[kimboshay]

chosen one thanks for your votes!!!!

how come obi is down to beat me??
you rite tho i will be more than a handful for them 2 :D

[alansd]

If Obiwan can beat Kimmy the I will put money on a single figure victory against kim for me!
Still think kimmy could take the game v obiwan!!

[TheChosenOneReturns!]

chosen one thanks for your votes!!!!

how come obi is down to beat me??


Obi is a Jedi Knight Kimmy darling!!!

[ObiWan]

Obi is a Jedi Knight Kimmy darling!!!

Yes Chosen One,the Force is strong in me.After recently losing to Alan I have now entered an 11 week training camp leading up to the Kimbo challenge in Guernsey.
You have no idea what the FORCE is capable of!!

[valley's Boy]

Kimmy confidence thats wat i like to see!! But a two v one, either u must b **** hot or they dont play to well together?!:rolleyes: So how come some people tend to take the banter so serious, after all a place like this is just a bit of fun?

[alansd]

Actually a 2 v 1 Me v Kimmy and Obi, there could be a better challenge!! A bird and an old bloke!! Easy!!

[valley's Boy]

Ha ha quality, all very confident this shud be a good challenge by the sounds!:D so wat does every one think the score will be?!!:confused:

[alansd]

Well I could tell you the scores against Obi but I wouldnt want to speak out of turn!! Lets say if I played by the admirals rules of 20 quid a set, my trip to guernsey this year would be paid for!!

[TheChosenOneReturns!]

Actually a 2 v 1 Me v Kimmy and Obi, there could be a better challenge!! A bird and an old bloke!! Easy!!


Ladybird is in fine bold spirits tonight!!!

GAME ON!!!!!

Obi and Kimmy you up to the challenge?

[alansd]

Anyone know where I cna get stuff printed on t shirts?
Am going to get ladybird printed if I can find somewhere!!

[TheChosenOneReturns!]

make sure you don't print it too big or marky will be having it off!

[alansd]

I think any tournament that lets me play with Ladybird on the back wont be too bothered by the size!!

[TheChosenOneReturns!]

see tricky for some colouring in pens? might be cheaper?

[alansd]

Screw the cost, I'll make enough off of Kimmy and Obi Wan to cover it!!

[TheChosenOneReturns!]

get a rocky balboa style dressing gown with ladybird on the back!!

that would be some entrance to any match!!

:D

[alansd]

Dont go giving me ideas or I will be showing up at these bonanzas ready for a fight!!

[TheChosenOneReturns!]

It would have to be a pink ladybird dressing gown as well, without any question!!!

We could really turn this whole ladybird image around here Alan.

You could be the very first Pimp On Tour!!!

[richard murray]

see tricky for some colouring in pens? might be cheaper?

Make sue you use the correct size of letters if you are going to compete internationally

[TheChosenOneReturns!]

Make sue you use the correct size of letters if you are going to compete internationally


you playing Jersey this year Alan?

[alansd]

Guernsey but you have to travel over water so I am claiming its an international event.
Should look good when I am trying to get the ladybird back on side!!

[TheChosenOneReturns!]

22.2.1 - Lettering shall be in capital letters in the Roman Alphabet, and in one single colour contrasting with that of the shirt
22.2.2 - If there is a pattern on the back of the shirt, the lettering should be on a contrasting panel

22.3.1 - In International events the name of the player on the back of the shirt is optional

[TheChosenOneReturns!]

so.....

joined up writing with a colouring pen is probably a no no

and "ladybird" on the back of your shirt is ok but you need to enter the tournament as

Alan Dunlop AKA Ladybird

:D

[alansd]

I am sure you just added that nickname thing in!!

[richard murray]

but what about sponsers name?

[TheChosenOneReturns!]

ladybird is the sponsor tricky, pair attention!!

[richard murray]

doesnt that have to be seperate? I guess you could use a post it note

[TheChosenOneReturns!]

I am sure you just added that nickname thing in!!

rule 22.3 alan

BWF are in your corner!
