Stoat - Where?

I’ve got a joke for you:

Q) What do you call a guy who injures his back playing tennis during a short vacation, subsequently spending 2 of his 5 days in bed barely able to move?
A) Lots of things. None of them polite.

Yes, I am that idiot. I played a few sets with Alan after going to Sentosa the other day. I won’t embarrass him by telling you the score though… Ok, he beat me 6-1, 6-1, 6-1. That ignominious defeat aside, worse was to come as injury added insult to injury. Sitting up, sitting down, laughing - it all hurts. Being laughed at hurts more though and Alan was busy telling all his mates how he’d destroyed someone half his age. Focusing on the second half of that sentence makes me happier though.

Sentosa is a small island just off Singapore, connected to the mainland by a bridge and described by many (well, the tourist information places) as an island paradise. Only a fool turns down paradise, so I headed off to check it out today and was happy to find that though they have paved part of it and put up a parking lot, that’s just a convenience because it lets you see the rest of it with ease. Joni Mitchell, what were you talking about?
