The fact that YOU believe what you are saying DOESN'T stopping it being trolling

To be fair, of all the stuff I've argued against your point of view, this really is the one that takes the biscuit. Playing computer games is not, and never will be, a sport
You say all that and then dismiss something out of hand. You’re the one trolling here and you just don’t see it.

Chris you are are far better man than to come down to this level buddy. I drew the line when it was posted on here that if such a thing as competitive knitting exists then according to one man on here, it’s a sport.

Think you’ve summed it up there.
Anytime now they’ll be loads of complaints about the HMRC website being inundated because the tax self assessment deadline is looming.....I mean there’s only been 9 months to complete a return!

My ex is like that. Well for the past decade I have done her return for her. Not this year, not any more. And took great delight in telling her that too.

We've got clients who still haven't let us have their records, full accounts and tax to be prepared :eek:

Yes I know I shouldn't Chris but I've never used the ignore button before - best I go look for it ?

The sledging highlighted in the England - Sri Lanka test. Very poor for the game that spawned the phrase "it's not cricket" as a metaphor for poor sportsmanship.

And before all the usual explanations or excuses are trotted out, it will not change a thing as it is my irritation and they will not change my view on it. :)

Sledging is not part of cricket, though it has become more prevelant, much to my dismay. Why shouldn't the batsman be given the curtesy of receiving the bowlers attempt in silence from the other players?
If they wanted to stop it, it is very easy to do.
Change the rule.
Umpire gives a warning.
Next time it happens he gives a penalty.
The penalty is ,the fielding side have to get the batsman ( that is being sledged ) out twice.

TBH I thought what was said was more "mind games" than "insulting", however is the over exuberant and constant appealing by the SL keeper not as bad?

Contestants on the chase who, when given a question with a 50/50 answer, ponder reflectively for a few moments before uttering the considered response "Pass."

Guess, for crying out loud!
