Saved By A Stranger Lyrics:

Verse 1:

Livin’ in a dream

sounded pretty good to me

until I woke

until I woke

Twenty thousand Miles away

far away from anything that I love

yeah, that I love

Pre-Chorus:

I was in my lowest depth

when she came and took my hand

and I’ll never will forget her

I wonder if she still remembers me the night

the night she talked me down

and I wished that I could tell her

that she changed me for the better

by the time that I was coming ‘round

Chorus:

I don’t even know her name

but I was saved by a stranger

saved by a stranger

Verse 2:

someone’s else fantasy

is nothing like reality, I know that

yeah I know that

But for a moment stay with me

and let me feel the freedom that you’re holding

that you’re holding

Pre-Chorus:

I was in my lowest depth

when she came and took my hand

and I’ll never will forget her

I wonder if she still remembers me the night

the night she talked me down

and I wished that I could tell her

that she changed me for the better

by the time that I was coming ‘round

Chorus:

I don’t even know her name

but I was saved by a stranger

saved by a stranger

(beautiful harmonies)

Pre-Chorus:

I’ll never will forget her

I wonder if she still remembers me the night

the night she talked me down

and I wish that I could tell her

that she changed me for the better

by the time that i was coming ‘round

Chorus:

I don’t even know her name to thank her

I don’t even know her name

but I was saved by a stranger

saved by a stranger

Origin of Table Tennis

Table tennis as we know it today, started in the late 1880s in England.

Game makers were trying to emulate the popularity of Lawn Tennis by developing indoor versions of it.

So early versions were made by different game manufacturers who each used their own exclusive patented or trademarked names.

These names include Indoor Tennis, Gossima, Whiff-Waff and Ping Pong and dice games, rackets&balloon and even tiddley winks games

But the first action game of tennis on a table was in 1890.

In the 1920s the owners of the trademarked name "Ping Pong" started to threaten legal action against anybody who used their name without specifying the use of their equipment, so an alternative name was required - and Table Tennis was chosen as the official name for this international sport.

ITTF- International Table Tennis Federation

The Governing body of table tennis -the International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF)-was formed in January 1926 by representatives from the Table Tennis Associations of Austria, England, Germany and Hungary.

Following that meeting, Austria, Czechoslovakia, England, Germany, Hungary, India, Sweden and Wales were all invited to become the original members of the ITTF.

They also agreed the first Constitution and the original rules of Table Tennis in December 1926.

Many of the original rules remain relatively unchanged after nearly 100 years of use.

There are more than 1,600 varieties of table tennis rubbers

To compete in sanctioned table tennis events, players can only use authorised racket coverings (rubbers) on their rackets.

One side must be black and the other side must be bright red, pink, purple, green or blue, but players can use different varieties on each side of their racket.

There are more than 1,600 varieties of table tennis rubbers on the authorised list.

Rubbers are either smooth or pimpled and by using different rubbers, players can impart different spins on the ball.

Table Tennis is the most popular indoor sport in the world

Table tennis is the most popular indoor sport in the world with 227 Associations from countries and territories all around the world being affiliated to the International Table Tennis Federation.

Table tennis is played at the Olympic games and the Paralympic games and 552.3 million viewers watched the 2016 Rio Olympic Games table tennis events.

The sport is popular because it can be played by everyone, whatever their age or physical attributes.

And although it an indoor sport, it can also be played outdoors as a social event.

Table tennis balls are now made from plastic

From 1901 table tennis balls were made of celluloid, but these are now being phased out.

Since 1 July 2014 all International events only use table tennis balls made from plastic.

From September 2015 all affiliated countries are being encouraged to only use the new plastic balls.
