TABLE TENNIS
Table tennis is definitely our
sport of choice. The . movements are almost balletic and you need to look like you move like a dancer. Colin's a bit of a Sampras whereas I'm more of a Becker style, throwing myself around the court. It‘s about as competitive as we get as a band. It gets pretty heated, bats get broken frequently.‘ (Roddy)
‘. ‘.Rr '1 .l HARD FEARS
‘I've loved pears since I was a child. They’re the smoothest of fruit. But when you get a hard pear, it‘s just such a nightmare. Hard pears are just like eating a dead person: the frozen buttocks of a dead air crash victim. Thinking about hard pears makes me feel bad about those guys in that movie Alive.‘ (Gavin)
