Case Swedish Open

A top European squash tournament has started today (qualifying as we speak) and I will be venturing down to Linköping on Friday and Saturday. 

Squash is pushing all the way for a place in the 2020 Olympics, twice denied, but with the likes of the modern pentathlon verging on getting the boot (hopefully), squash has a better chance than ever before. There is a slick application video to the IOC, which I don't want to show you. 

What I do want you to see are two rallies from the last two major tournaments. The first is from the World Open, which is the biggest tournament in the squash calender, keep in mind the score and the importance of what you are about to witness. The second is a clip from Grand Central terminal in NY, from the Tournament of Champions. I don't need to say more than, this is why squash is one of the most awesome sports on this planet.......

2012+1

First post of the year and can start writing again. There's more than enough to talk about but already it's basically February. Quite crazy really.

2012 was pretty special, as with every year. You make every moment your own, so there's no reason why things can't stay positive. I'm married and have a sproglet on the way, well there's a shock I suppose. 

Not that this year I can (or want to) repeat the last, but I'm not under any pressure to. There's always something new, if you want to find it, and believe me, I will find it. 

Life is good. I intend to keep it that way.

We are seeing Biffy Clyro for the hundredth time soon. They have a new album out (Opposites), which sounds pretty awesome. They played a show last year in London, so if you're at work and not working, check it out:
