Some of you may or may not know that Friday night is Badminton night here at Purple. We regularly hire the courts at Richmond School and on a Friday, after work, we trundle down and have an hour of healthy competition that ends the week off nicely.
We are also a relatively sporty bunch (not too extreme) and in the team we have football players, squash pro's, yoga lovers and Zumba go-ers. So all of this sport talk has made us wonder what we think is missing from the Olympics.
Andrew
Squash! Andrew is incensed by the absence of his new favourite sport Squash. Although he gets thrashed by Phil on a weekly basis, he was hoping to tune into the Olympics for some much needed tips!
Mahendran
Mahendran would love to take part in a 500 metre coding dash. This would entail words per minute of typing variable syntaxes whilst a panel of judges, all experts in their respective fields, look on in awe!
Sarah
Sarah would love to see Swingball in the Olympics, it is the only time that she ever gets competitive and she even beat her new husband Dan on their wedding day, in her wedding dress…..twice!
Phil
Phil has a certain set of skills, one of these is single handed band flicking (known internally in the Purple office as SHBF for short!) He is lethal and accurate at flinging bands at will across the office at his unsuspecting staff and clients. So beware!
James
James would like to see Table Football in the next Olympics. We are lucky enough to have a table in the office and James can often be found practicing in his lunch break, he is lethal in defence and is often found on the winning side.
