I was talking to another engineer / tekky neighbour yesterday and I
mentioned I didn't follow football and he said "nor do I .. I hate it"
.. ? (I don't hate it I just hate some of the people it attacts). I
can think of at least 3 other engineering types that have no interest
in football either?

I have found that those who played football at school and then detest it
later in life were either, just no good at it, or do the opposite for the
sake of it (all the others like it so I will not).

I presume you were always left back

... in the changing room

Did you get that from Charlie Chester, Maxie?

They tend to be sad
*******s,

So that's where your problems started

Maxie, sad *******s are problems.

I have found that nearly all people I have met who have no interest in
sport
whatsoever are odd in some way. Man's natural desire for competition is
not
there.

Following football has less to do with competition than base tribal
instincts

Maxie, wrong again.

Professional football has got totally out of hand. It's not so much a
sport as a tax on the terminally stupid

Maxie, you are jealous of the money those fellows make. Market forces and
good on them. Maxie, you are a Becks wannabe, and it comes out in
bitterness. Sad but true.
