Above 'above average', I think.

Josh, it must be the middle of the night where you're forging these axiological relations of yours.
But I think like that during the day, too. I said I excelled at sophistry.
Cookie, I'm not sure about your hug skills. Remember when you knocked over that plate of chips doing it? Maybe you still need more practice.

I would love to write something in ultra-neat Latin (preferably in snazzy dactylic hexameter, or at least with some Ciceronian clausulae), just 'cos Maria's post sounded like a gauntlet being thrown down to me, but, eh, it's been too long (and I was never *that* good - or indeed any good at all - anyway).
Someone is now going to tell me that Cicero never used clausulae, but I never really got what they were anyway, I just got told that they were a good stylistic thing. I then promptly ignored this advice, 'cos using 4 different ways of saying "and" (and trying not to use enclitic -que at the end of the sentence because it's not good style, even though I always ended up putting it there anyway) and going crazy with the compound verbs are much easier ways to pick up style points...
I so miss my Kennedy's Primer. (Oh, it looks like I'm quite good at writing really long, rambly, boring, pretentious, geeky, completely off-topic posts. Yeah, I admit I can be good at inadvertantly doing things which suck, but I think that's stretching the word "good" a little.)

Or has anyone stopped being good at anything, or started being good at anything new?

One of the last 64 games I bought was Bubble Bobble. Then I did something stupid and bought an AtariST.

Phil, I've not played much in years, except for a bit against a girlfriend who is England's #1 in her wheelchair class, and hoping to make the next Paralympics. I used to favour the more typically European grip. For a while, I played in the more Chinese style to try to give opponents a chance, but I got as good at that. I wasn't world class at this by a long way (unlike, say, Minesweeper) - I'd probably have got my blue at Cambridge had I stayed much more than a term, as I was very probably the best in the first year, but I also once played a guy who was then the UK #3, and he murdered me. I don't think I'd have ever got nearly that good, had I kept it up.

Martin, I have NOOO idea how that works... The Chinese grip, that is. It's insane - when I try it, often I'll strike the ball at a funny angle and it'll go flying off to the side.
