I have a new badminton top. It is made of some sort of new fabric, which is apparently so light, that it actually makes you weigh less than you did before you put it on. If the manufacturers are to be believed, wearing this shirt will allow me to leap from the court, hang poised in midair for several seconds and then smash the shuttle effortlessly into the corner of the court.
Essentially, if you put this shirt on, you become the badminton version of Luke Skywalker using the force in the trench on the Death Star. Except that you are not flying a cool solo starfighter, but are playing badminton in Wishaw Sports Centre. And the fate of the universe is not in your hands. All that is really at stake is whether your mates will rip the pish out of you for losing. And your adversary isn’t Darth Vader but a bloke that works in the accounts department of Glasgow University,
You are still using the Force though.
