Never mind tennis - is there any mechanism which may be employed to ban
further pointless waffling about Michael Jackson?

Yes - you just need to post it up in Black or White.

Last Saturday's daily mail had the first 13 pages spouting out about
him. Is he a famous person or something?

Are you saying my balls aren't supposed to glow in the dark?

What do you reckon's causing that then? Can I get ointment for it?

I went into McDonalds today - they've launched a tribute called the
Jacksonburger. A bit of fifty year old meat between two ten year old buns.

That has joined my list of sad jokes about him.

Try baby oil ;-)

It might not stop them glowing, but it might take the sting out of them
for a while.

He did a few covers of some Weird Al Yankovic hits. They weren't as good as
the originals.

Yes simple, go postal (as the yanks say) in some large building
like the BBC TV centre with a AK47, it'll be news for weeks.

I think if I was ever minded to do this, the choice of venue would be a hard
one to make. The House of Commons would be favourite, but it might be
difficult to get in. Then we have the revenue, Capita, etc. - But the BBC is
definitely one of the top ten!

Tennis balls, like golf balls, have always been hard to find.

Why is it so satisfying to roll on your back in the morning and scratch
underneath your balls? I have no problem finding them though :-)

I've had pink ones for as long as i can remember

What I'd like to know is how are those who have black ones
supposed to find them in the dark?

I guess they could be painted with florescent paint.
Maybe Hils would like to volunteer?

Mine are black in the dark and under the quilt.

I have no problem finding them though :-)

I would have thought that would have made them so much more itchy.

Obviously after painting your balls, you have to keep them in a clean
environment so contaminates like pollen can't attach, at least until
the paint has dried.

So put simply keep your balls clean
