I'm pleased to see no one's into WWF or whatever it's called now. What a load of bolox. Definitely not a sport. More play acting than a weekend of Premier League football.
Oh I'm quite into WWE, love the fan fair about it and the atheltism required to perform like they do. |

My primary sport viewing is football and boxing but I love watching most sport although Snooker and Cricket's not for me. In the early days of Lockdown and desperation for live sport I got into Aussie Rules Football, because Australia got on top of Covid early doors it was the first sport back really. I'm a massive fan of it now and usually watch a couple of games a week. You do get proper massacres sometimes but others it goes right down to the last kick of the match and there is still scope to come back even when your 30+ points down. And obviously it's just so bloody Australian, the commentators, the vests, the players trying to out-moustache or grow better mullets than each other and the club songs that boom out on the tannoy sung by the local male glee clubs.
Aussie rules is described by it’s detractors as being like a bunch of seagulls fighting over a chip It’s a religion though in Melbourne, and if you have a new business meeting which team you support is an inevitable question, and the answer usually determines the outcome of the meeting As you can imagine the Sydney Swans was not often a productive answer so I chose Collingwood as they play in black and white stripes - then found out they’re the Arsenal of Aussie Rules, the club every other one hates |

I swim a mile 3 times a week (when not locked down) and play golf to an average level (15.7)
Where do you swim? I absolutely love swimming outside. I’m slowly getting back up to speed after that last three month lockdown. The pool I go to is open air so it was able to open up a few weeks ago. Had a go in the Thames last summer. The water was pretty warm then. Just wondering how long it’ll be before I can get in there again. Missing the sea. |

I saw your face and heard you call my name.

Go in the Thames just as the tide turns from high tide and start to swim. Go with the flow and several miles later it reaches the sea. Easy to find, no problem.  Joking, it's easier by boat. |

I did an event years ago. 3.6km. (2.25 miles). It was taking me over an hour in the pool to do that. Come the day, the current was that fast it took me 42 minutes. Breastroking mostly. And I was still 700 places behind the leaders! That was above the tidal section. |

There used to be a bloke who hung around with the London Mariners in the early 90s who wore a B&W Aussie rules shirt. I’m all weathers. Wasn’t you was it? |

I watch football and cricket mainly. A bit of Rugby League sometimes (can't stand Union) and sometimes watch the Tour de France. Most other sports don't do it for me.
As for participating. Played footy when younger and did a lot of cycle touring, neither of which I do anymore. Thinking of trying walking football when we are allowed, but my main activity now is walking. Done a lot locally during lockdown but will get out into the wilds when lockdown is over. Coastal paths are a favourite, or walking anywhere in the wilds of Britain, especially Scotland.
Ginny, we've been back playing walking football down Bradley since 28th March,I play 4 x 1 hour sessions a week there, Monday 10am ,Tuesday 10am and Thursday 10am and 11am. I'm in the EWFC over 70's squad and had a training session in Coleshill last Sunday. First session at Bradley is free, everyone is made very welcome.Give it a try. |
