Sport as a spectacle in general. I mean, why don't people just get on with it without needing to have audiences which have much better things to do like making the world a better place, having sex etc? There's nothing onlookers can do about sport, other than make it another pretext for getting overexcited/triumphalist/defeatist/depressed about results, overpaid exhibitionists, WAGs, etc etc etc.Originally posted by vinteuil View PostComment

Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

The conclusion - ball games in general, and other kiddies' games indulged in by so-called adults, are not what they're cracked up to be.

- handing the lead to Hamilton, who barely held him off for the rest of the race...
And what about that Prost/Senna style collision by both Mercs in Catalunya last time out? Helping 18-year old Verstappen to his first win!
After a dull coupla years five or six cars have a chance now, give it another go...!
