Yeah, women's tennis is the only women's sport I like watching.

Keep grunting ladies, hit it harder.


No, now go away or I shall taunt you a second time!

Do you have a hairy palm?


There was only 16 squadrons of RAF fighters that used 100 octane during the BoB.
The Fw190A could not fly with the outer cannon removed.
There was no Fw190A-8s flying with the JGs in 1945.

Not at all. And yourself?

I'll have to decline to agree, as I think volleyball's a poor sport, just this side of badminton actually. I appreciate the lovelies in all their pursuits, but no, can't agree about women's volleyball.

Of all the sports I watch, tennis is the only one where I enjoy the women's game. And it's not down only to the *soft factors*, ahem, but that I enjoy the competition.

But women's football (soccer), racing, basketball, hockey, golf, you name it, not interested at all.

I will watch the Olympics. Well I skipped China altogether. But watching the Olympics is more out of patriotism than interest in the competition on display. Like I will root for the USWNT in soccer, but there's zero chance I'd ever watch a club match.

I do thank the English though for "Rounders" which heavily inspired Abner Doubleday when he refined the sport known as "Baseball" for Americans. smile

Ah yes, Anna Kournikova. I remember in the very early days of The Daily Show, their sports segment was just the Anna Kournikova shot of the day, which was just a shot of here bending over as she gets ready to either make or receive a serve.

Also, when I played Texas Hold 'em we would call a pocket Ace King the Anna Kournikova hand because it looks pretty, but rarely wins.

You could have also called it the Danica Patrick hand.

And for your erudition, just last week we had the first "Cotswold Olimpicks", since Covid Pandemic.
A traditional event that predates the Modern Olympic Games by nearly 300 years. The most popular event, 'Shin Kicking'.



Blonde geezer with overstuffed white trousers has an interesting technique at 2.05. Was that an 'Ali Shuffle' or the 'back-end of a Pantomime Horse' move?

I feel pain just by reading “shin kicking”.

In Canada, this is a competition of skill? They are 10 feet away from a target as big as a house!



The Scottish are tough hombre like Sean Connery.
