Advantages: Witty writing, interesting to find out more about Moldova Disadvantages: Over the top at times
it. It turns out that our protagonist ends up trying to play tennis (one at a time of course) with the entire Moldovan football team that played England in a qualifier game at Wembley. This comes as a result of a drunken bet from a friend of his, the comedian Arthur Smith, formed whilst watching England hand out a routine thrashing in the game over a few pints of lager. Tony was a quite handy junior tennis player, and he reasoned that being good at football might not be an advantage when it came to tennis without specific tennis coaching. His friend reasoned that athletes are athletes and their skills should be fully transferable. Tony travelled to Moldova to find out fuelled by the challenge from Arthur.

Advantages: good coverage, nice colour Disadvantages: messy
Introduction:
Myself and the boyfriend were on one of our regular trips to Tescos this evening when I found myself wandering down the hair dye isle.

Advantages: Very funny and easy to read., Many pictures of the people he met, Disadvantages: The book would have benefited from being a bit longer
The forfeit involves the loser singing the Moldavian national anthem whilst dancing naked on Balham High Road, something that both Arthur and Tony are keen to avoid.
Playing the Moldovans at Tennis was written as the result of an extremely drunken bet, made with his friend, Arthur Smith after watching the England Vs Moldova World Cup qualifier. Arthur thinks he is bound to win because out of 11 footballers at least 1 must be some good.
Tony, who was a talented amateur tennis player, bet his friend that he could beat the entire Moldovan football team at tennis and the ensuing story is about how he sets about trying to do it. After collecting the names of the footballers you would think it easy to find the team and then play them but this does not turn out to be the case. To begin with it is doubt-full that Tony will even get to ...
