    When in Athens, GA, I met a friend of Michael Stipe's, who was there during the naked swimming session which that song is about. I always imagined it was about some beautiful lake in the countryside. I was slightly disappointed when he showed me the concrete municipal swimming pool where it all took place.

    I look forward to reading your list of sports and activities that it’s acceptable for women to take part in. I’m sure it won’t disappoint

    Not lol really.
    That was just one example of what was an outstanding game that had it all ++++ Most international rugby games are hugely entertaining and the 6 nations in particular is fantastic. It's only 'awful' if you don't like it. I don't watch tennis because I find it dull and one-dimensional but millions around the world think it's fantastic. I'm happy that it gives them pleasure :)

    It depends what sport interests you, I love watching rugby (as well as football) so I tried watching NFL and hated it until a friend who was into it explained what was happening and the rules etc and I started to get into it, different sports different skills let them into your mind and they are all good in their own way.

    F1. It's a dull snoozefest now the risk of them killing themselves is virtually zero. Not that I wanted anyone to die, but the chance of it happening meant there was some potential interest.

    Horse-racing. Stop killing the horses. Animals matter, too. And before you come back at me: yes, I am vegan.

    Miscellaneous ***** Olympic events which the media try to convince us are important. Person on a stick flying through the air. Person throwing a metal ball. Person throwing a stick. Person hitting a plastic ball with a little racquet. People making shapes in a swimming pool at the same time as some other people make the same shape. Person jumping off a diving-board. Person being the best at jumping into some sand MEANS GREAT BRITAIN IS STILL GREAT!1!1!1!1!

    Golf: Hit the ball with the stick. Go on. You know you want to. Cue myriad very similar scenes of a ball moving in the air. Clap politely. Repeat for a million years.

    MMA: Can't watch it. Fvcking brutal. Like chucking-out time on a Friday night, but with added blood.

    What about training a horse to drive a formula 1 racing car?

    I think horses flying through the air on sticks would be better.

    Quidditch. All that time I've spent watching two teams dodging bludgers and trying to get the quaffle through the hoops, only to find that some bespectacled, scarfaced little sod on a Nimbus 2000 has gone and caught the bloody snitch and spoilt all the fun. Again.

    I’ve played it to a good standard, and it’s ok to watch when you are there, but squash is not a great tv sport. Having said that if you want a big popular sport - tennis to me is so boring closely followed by basket ball - just watch the last 2 minutes on both sports and do away with the dull sht until then.
