Too Darned Hot!

So this weekend we're having a (mini) heatwave.  Temperatures got down to 24C last night, & are up in the low 30s in the daytime.  No I know that some of you, Dear Readers, have to put up with temperatures far higher than that in the summers, probably in the winter too, but here it's HOT!  I was in Winchester Thursday, when it

As spectator sports, & it's too hot to play. I just keep tabs on what is happening internationally &, far more importantly, to Portsmouth Town.

I reckon that what America calls 'football' is really Rugby football, for wimps. Real rugby players don't need the protective armour! Well, ok, so they may use gumshields, shin-pads & 'boxes', but that's about it.

ya, well they do wear "armor" but they call it padding, he he.

even so, they do get quite damaged
the real violent sport here (and in canada) is hockey
there isnt enough padding in the world for that sport

We had to play hockey at secondary school. In the winter, on a 500' high hilltop, in the wind, in the snow - provided it wasn't falling, once, even, in the fog - so you couldn't see the either goal from the centre spot!

Or do you mean ice hockey - cos that has knives too!

'Scuse me, my secondary school was not rough, even though it had been in its' present location so long that the area now was. Come to think of it, it's probably been a rough area for so long that it's now Urban Regeneration & becoming terribly posh & expensive again!
