Not quite losing our marbles
James ‘fastest thumb in SE1′ Prebble was in action over the weekend in the world marble championships.
Despite a strong showing and an easy win in the first round, the Germans, beach towels in hand, were victorious on the day and took the coveted title.
Commenting on the experience, Jimmi was heard to say
“Some people say Marbles is a game of luck. I say rubbish! It takes skill, the right attitude and years of dedication to reach world standard.”
Jimmi is, as I type, back down the gym training for next year’s event. Our local hero can bee seen in the YouTube clip below. Watch out for him 42 seconds in, clapping his hands whilst donning a fetching green and yellow wig. Don’t say it wasn’t taken seriously!
Great write up on the Guardian Sport blogs here.
