as a rule of thumb

i love watching most team sorts. rugby cricket football are particularly groovy. i do love tenis actually (to play) but am now too slow. i am utterly s**te at golf because my ethos is to hit the f**king thing as hard as possible at all times.

i admire federer as he is really a true sporting great who has taken the game to new limits. I posted on here a while back that he reminded me of a fencer in the way he was so clinical. interesting to note today that he saw himself as a fencer and had been pictured as one in a new book which depicted the top players in the garb of their sport they would loved to have excelled in if they hadn't been tennisers (nadal saw himself as a footballer). horse racing, F1, athletics and golf leave me stone cold although i do drive like a fukkernlunatic.
