Seeing cricket somehow reminded me of this Dutch interpretation of English sports[^] Big Grin | :-D

My chemistry teacher always said, if you are sick you have to go to bed, because exercise is good for the body. Maybe a sport, which you like ? Laugh | :laugh:

None actually Big Grin | :-D

I've always hated sports, even in elementary school where I was the only boy who did not join in the soccer games during breaks.
In my last year of school where PE (physical education) was a mandatory class I think I skipped that class more than all other classes combined Big Grin | :-D

After school I was so happy that sports was finally no longer a mandatory part of my life!
I tried some weight lifting a few times to grow some muscles, but it was torment so I stopped. I'd rather have a weak and fragile body than do any more sports.

In fact, I hate sports so much that I prefer to code the rest for my life in JavaScript for IE6 through Edge with an Oracle back-end and Crystal Reporting than to do another sport ever again Dead | X|

I take the bike to work whenever I can though.

I thought the 2014 team from Poland was unforgettable, even if they didn't place first: [^].

«There is a spectrum, from "clearly desirable behaviour," to "possibly dodgy behavior that still makes some sense," to "clearly undesirable behavior." We try to make the latter into warnings or, better, errors.

For Mercanball, I agree the '85 Bears were indeed the dog's danglies! As Chicago was the first place I visited in Merca, back in the dark ages as an 11 year old, my allegiance to Mercan sport has always been with the cities teams. The Bears and Bulls have done me proud on a few occasions, the White Sox and Cubs less so.

Hey DVLA, how come it takes 2-3 weeks to send me a funky V55/5? Can't you just post the b'tard on Monday first class? Better still, make it a downloadable pdf!

DVLA, GDIAF!

p.s. If anyone happens to have a V55/5 lying around, I'd love it.

You can’t download the V55/5 application form because it includes features that can’t be printed (such as letters and numbers). You have to order a printed copy from a secret location that we are not telling you about.

OK, I'm ready for the fire now.
