All Things Sport...

All Things Sport...

There are many threads dedicated to sharing experiences - good times and not so good - so I thought I would start a thread for those on here who love their sport. For me - and I suspect for some others - sport is a good distraction as it often blocks out the more negative emotions and helps to avoid triggers that many other things in 'life' so often seem to do.

This thread can also be a place where like-minded (and not so like-minded people @utopia @Former-Member @Zoe7 lol) can 'discuss/debate' their respective competitions in their preferred sport(s).

For those that are definitely NOT into sport @Phoenix_Rising for example - avoid this thread at all costs - whoops just tagged you in..........hahaha!!!!!

Re: All Things Sport...

I can see Toby being driven around in a trolley lol

I tried to get into watching tennis but just can't enjoy it that much for some reason. People say to me 'you love watching cricket but not tennis. Cricket is way more boring than tennis'. Lol.

Burns needs a good score this innings for sure. Let's hope they both kick on.

And a great day in test cricket today: Jane McGrath day. Great to see all the pink. It is one charity that I give to every year as I think they do a great job with the breast care nurses. And also do it for two loved ones that lost their lives to breast cancer. And who is to say that one day I or someone who I love may need the support of a breast care nurse.

Oh yes another one of @Zoe7 's fly stories.........

The pesky flies have either disappeared to another room or resting before their next attack LOL - sneaky litte buggers

I have always loved tennis more than cricket but I find many of the modern day players a little boring to watch. There is a much greater serving and power game and much less finesse and rallies. I also do not like the attitude of some players (including some Australians) and much like cricket (and football) I think they are well over payed. If even just 10% of that money was put into housing our homeless or feeding families on the poverty line then we would have a much smaller problem.

The only reason I would want either Warner or Burns out is to bring on Labuschagne - love watching him play. The pink test has done so much for breast cancer - so many more nurses being employed and as a result so many women suffering have that extra support - it certainly is a worthwhile cause and Yes one that has touched so many lives and will continue to do so.

Re: All Things Sport...

@Former-Member Thought your Sixers could chase that down tonight - well done to your team Hon ...especially Phillipe - a great innings.

My Hurricanes next - need a win to stay in touch with the top teams.

In response to: Re: All Things Sport...

Re: All Things Sport...

Not too bad @Zoe7

Re: All Things Sport...

Its just something to stress over @Zoe7

A littany of dumb things like this every time..

So i will need to go early and see if i need to be in court or not. Then be able to determine if i am elsewhere or not...

All this on the first day back in a job i already hate with people that test my patience.

Sorry i am ranting. Its just that things like this are insignificant and dont need to happen but they do..

Will just have to ring IT tomorrow i guess when i arrive

Night my friend zoe7

Re: All Things Sport...

It is unfortunate @MDT but only a few weeks left until your internship begins so look at it as just a job for the money you need. Sometimes that is all we can do buddy. It is an income AND experience that will serve you well in looking for different work further down the track. I have had some jobs over the time that I did not like but tried to get the most of out them to get through ...and of course the money helped. Teaching has been like that at times too - especially when dealing with people you actually do not like - but that is part of working too - not everything can be 100% what you would ideally like it to be. Do what you need to get through each day and then make the most of the time you have away from work - that balance not only helps us from day to day but also get through the tougher times. You got this buddy 👍
