So I am sitting in the lounge last night and my daughter challenges me to game of Superbikes , on the Playstation 2. Well of course i acccepted, after all i know how to corner, and breaking points etc etc, i mean how hard can it be? I thought to myself this will be a peice of cake! ( Of course i underestimate my daughters extremly competive nature)

So after three laps ay Monza, i was beaten by 1min and forty seconds, talk about epic fail, but of course my daughter being such a caring wee soul , who loves her dad decides she will let me have another chance, and in her attempt to make it more competitve she decides she will .................wait for it.....................now this is the humilating bit.........................................play with her feet!

So off we go, for another 3 laps of MOnza, and i can be totally honest , i was burying her , all the way to the first corner!......................Subsequently i lost by 16 seconds!


If not to make matters worse, she turned to me and said "It's all right dad , lots of old people are crap on playstation!" Now I love my daughter to bits, but i am contemplating a complete ban on Playstation, at least untill i can get some practice laps in when she is not around!

welcome to getting old. I have discovered, however, that with 36 years experience as a musician I can still comprehensively kick their collective arses on Rockband and Guitar Hero.

Noiw you're talking! The children must be put back in their place. If we can't beat them with sticks, let's do it with guitars!

Challenge her to an arm wrestle, or a game of squash or something, raftn.

You've got to save face, you know!.... :)

Fantastic idea MR Pussy, but i feel it would be a hollow victory, especially as i weigh in at 100kgs , and she is about 30! Ana i have to catch her first!
