lol, ran past this other runner doing similar laps to me who looked like he was really dying. checked strava flyby and he’s there, and his run is titled ‘hungover’.

nice touch.

Speculation, but there could well be a slight Scottish/English* divide regarding attitudes to golf. The game is (or certainly was!) much more accessible in Scotland - there are/were plenty of clubs with cheap membership fees that are affordable to working class families. Me & my friends grew up playing golf, messing around on golf courses, spending Sundays in the golf club whilst our parents got pissed, watching golf etc. It was part of life, even for people from our modest socio-economic background.

*sorry, don’t know where Wales & Ireland (NI or Eire) fit into this theory

Don’t really like rugby but do reckon the middle class lads on here who point out how much they hate it all the time are overcompensating a bit

You could say that about all sports :D!!!
And for your information, I understand. It’s to do with the lines on the pitch.

Forgot to tell japes this yesterday. Was telling my gf who was meeting up with.

Me: Guess how many bikes @japes has
Gf: 3
Me: 7… I think
Gf: Why?

aye, but at least other sports have a clear and consistent set of rules. rugby rule decisions are just a random number generator being piped in to the wee fella’s headset :wink:

Moved up here dismissing it as a non-sport; six years later, I accepted I’d take it up once my knees prevent me playing football.

:smiley: ha, I’ll give you that. As soon as I start to understand what’s going on it changes.
But, and hear me out here, no other sport has made me learn another language.

plus unsanctioned ref abuse is part and parcel of team sports. you can’t say ‘boo’ to a rugby ref without being penalised. booooring

Tell you what, the funniest interview I’ve ever read, hands down, was Sam Warburton in FHM a few years ago. Captain for Wales, and half the interview he just spoke about how much he preferred football but wasn’t any good at it. Unintentional comedy gold.
