Generally, I rather dislike sport (really, really hate football - but that's another story).

The only even mildly diverting athletic events are those which involve chucking things (javelins, hammers etc.) but the Olympics, Commonwealth Games etc. seem to be completely dominated by the mind numbingly boring running (where's the fun in that?). Why do they seem to spend hours and hours and hours hopping about on the starting line? Why can't they f***ing well get on with it?

Oh yes, I might occasionally watch the ladies' swimming events - but that's got very little to do with sport, as such ... whoops, what a give-away!!
