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..

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]
