I am really ugly and I don't care. If it wasn't bad for my health I wouldn't give a fuck I weighed 15 or 20 stone.

Contact Van Zant and he will talk Bruce around to being the boss of bosses.

DE DIV - Dutch new wave band circa 1982

This trying to beat yer own personal best regularly for own personal satisfaction thing doesn't appeal to me at all. Go for a walk or cycle or swim and just enjoy it. Sometimes people from local teams comparing themselves or their mates to elite players can be funny. "I always played for my...

I thought ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT were black.

Good to hear thumped comparing sports fans positively to mere super heroes. Rhasidat Adeleke is 4 real. Wonderwoman and Barbie are fake. Hollywood like most popular culture is crap. No wonder a lot of lunkheads like me love sport. A distant second to the perfection of music but best of da rest.

I suppose elite sport is a sign of how ruthless competition (as opposed to cooperation) is encouraged in the world. I can't make a lot of sensible arguments for my love of sport. I would not enjoy the reality of being a pro athlete. Again there is worse out there as far as 'entertainment' goes...

Correction: Tbilisi won League in 1978 and Cup in 1979. Like the LOI Soviet League was in summer. Another terrific player: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Kipiani For some reason I thought Kipiani was Armenian. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FC_Dinamo_Tbilisi Holy crap - just found out...
