Oh ok - that!

I was comparing rugby to another sport the English invented - cricket.
They do wear 'cushions' (or pads) in it.

Yes. Our own world cup and a sport that we created (I think we created them all though).

Any ideas why India didn't take this one up, most of the other commonwealth teams play - even Canada and the US play this.

India has some rugby leagues. However, no other sport was commercialized as successfully as cricket.

A brilliant strategic move on the part of the British, that, getting first dibs on pub seating to watch the world cup by being eliminated in early rounds . . .

I'll simply pretend I meant all of whatever bunch you wish to include.

The same inevitable fate awaits them all.

Astronomy in the lounge I can live with, but why is it in the Insider newsletter?
It takes up precious space where IT related news could be...

Sure, but that's not what most articles are about.
There's a lot of IT in production lines too, but I don't see articles about that Smile | :)
