Oh AND
I played football last night. This is so unlike me, that I forgot. But I joined a five-a-side team for the night. As it turns out, in the ten years since I last played, I haven't actualy got any better.
But I can run faster than anyone else, and slide further. That's got to count for something, right ? And while I can't pass, can't shoot straight, never got the hang of dribbling ... I can tackle, cos I'm a tenacious fuck at heart :)
Now I just need some shoes that grip on Astroturf. I don't like astroturf. I went through the knees of my jeans ( formerly in pristine condition ) in just one slide. Laws of friction, eh ? I cant' understand how anyone plays in shorts. Perhaps they just fall over less (*)
(*) No sport that doesn't involve falling over is worth playing, imho.
