I didn’t realize you were so jealous of Christmas. Regardless, I’m not very religious, so I like many different aspects of the holiday. Religious and non-Religious.

As for Olympic medals, I, your medal count is impressive, but none of those medals are in hockey are they, the only manly sport in the universe....where men are not afraid to be seen playing it, and women come by the numbers to pick out future husbands...Here is a little fun fact for ya, I googled your Iceni warrior as I was curious and this is what I found....it said during the dig they found ancient Ice skates...maybe there is hope for you and your kin after all, maybe deep down in you there is a hockey player waiting to come out....So put those crazy cricket bats and balls away, time to get you a hockey stick, and a jersey...but i'll warn you now, once you pick that stick up and don your hockey jersey... your balls grow three times the size, you feel like your 8 foot tall , and you have an urge to start beating the shit out of everyone you see, it's also a sport you can play and enjoy a good beer while doing it...... it truly is a warriors sport....can you say that about cricket...once you played it, there is no going back to the ladies sports... https://www.ancient-origins.net/news-history-archaeology/human-bones-pot-may-reflect-gruesome-ritual-queen-boudicca-020315 Quote We, the willing, led by the unknowing, are doing the impossible for the ungrateful.

Has nothing to do with summer or full days. Cricket is feminine . . . no big deal if you like that kind of thing. Box lacrosse is for gladiators. Quote

Need to take a break? What other sport stops for lunch and tea? Not to mention stopping every time it rains. If it's breaks you're after then cricket is the game for you. Quote
