hmmm.. well.. but then its not usually the meek mild gawky speccy kids who eagerly voluntarily elect to consent to playing macho aggressive dangerous contact sports..??? I loved the thrill of the strategic off the ball behind the refs back tackles when I was 12 years old, but was so disapointed and angry when my school games teachers discovered I was too short sighted for them to continue to let me playing playing rugby.. bugger.. I had no choice then but to eventually become a swotty folk musician.. pah !!! slap up feast at Lord Snooty's gaff when we win the cup !!! [ok, serious point: the recent BBC documentary hosted by the ex Tory politician Hesaltine on our inate human facination with violence is well worth a download]
