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!!!!!

Yeah it does have Taika Waititi in it and he also wrote and directed it. But Rebel Wilson and Scarlett Johansson are also in it @MDT

Ended up falling asleep and woke up 5 mins before the race ended. Nice timing lol.

Now going to have a drink for Chinese New Year and then watch some Monty Python in honor of Terry Jones who we lost this week.

Hope you got the study cleaned and your website organised.

Re: All Things Sport...

Not a fan of historical fiction @MDT The only fiction I generally read (or prefer to read) is crime fiction - much prefer Biographies and like @Scarecrowe love sports people biographies. I have a 'passion' for the Holocaust especially the positive stories of survival and how people under great adversity found the strength to get through unspeakable trauma.

I did see this week the death of Terry Jones @Scarecrowe - was never a big fan of Monty Python but such an important historical part of world comedy. Enjoy your viewing this afternoon/tonight.

Re: All Things Sport...

Yeah I find non fiction is easier reading these days idk what it is. Might be all the history, culture, politics and international affairs that I know about. Seems like that is more interesting to me. The most recent fiction I read in its entirety was actually Ernest Hemingway - A Farewall to Arms which I absolutely loved. Especially as it was set during ww1.

yeah @Scarecrowe saw that during the week. British Comedy is great.

Amanda is a most unusual name for a cat @Zoe7 @Scarecrowe 😉 😆

Looks like my Sixers have done enough to finish second in the BBL. They had two good wins last week to ensure they stay there. An interesting arrangement this new semi final setup.

Hello and welcome @cherryblossom13
