One of the riders in the women's Giro Rosa that started today is called Potokina.

She could be from Potemkin village.

For me that title goes to football. I loved the guy that said if he wanted to watch 22 men trying to score for 90 minutes he would go down the pub and watch his mates trying to pick up woman.

Worse would be having to hear their version of accounts later on.
Seriously though, my main concerns are for those gentlemen who love contact sports such as rugby and American football. I can understand it could have attractions if it were mixed, as in mixed doubles in tennis, but dear me, all that virile bonding! One could go quite faint all over.

Yes rugby. I like the game. Wasn’t any good at it but had to play at school and a few games in the military. No getting out of that in my generation in South Africa. It’s can be a bit intimate that’s a fact. But mostly it’s just unbelievable brutal.

I did not have any aptitude for any sports except swimming, which seemed to make sense. I learned to swim in the Bay of Bengal with the sharks. Rugby I came to with a change of school where soccer had been the norm. The first problem with rugby was that I couldn't fathom any rules or system, because every time I came anywhere near the ball object of the chase, they blew whistles at me. It wasn't much of an incentive. Fortunately, I was ripidly relegated to the secondary class of pupil who was allowed to go swimming instead.

How can you not be fascinated by competitive commuting, Rob?

Mea culpa, Jeremy; something about processions gets to me and reminds me of the local caterpillars. They make nests on pine trees and get shot down with shotguns, reasonably enough. At least the cars are of differing colours, but often, not at the front.

All sports are pointless and silly to those who are not interested in them. And everyone thinks that the sport they are interested in is far more interesting than anyone else's.

This makes the race a bit more exciting.

Well, I hit a 18 to 1 shot win at the horse races yesterday. That's exciting! Sport of kings.

Which is a rounabout way of telling me that everybody has feet of clay. Best keep out of the puddles!

Nah, I'm just saying it's a big world, room enough for everyone.
