We, the willing, led by the unknowing, are doing the impossible for the ungrateful. We have now done so much for so long with so little, we are now capable of doing anything with nothing.

Funny you should say that. Hockey is considered a girls game over here. We play the proper verion on grass though...

In fact, we are Olympic champions.

Field hockey, your joking right, no body contact right ? and they got all their own teeth wtf... Is that even a sport any more ?  you can have it, even our women play ice hockey over here … infact our women's team are also multi Olympic champions as well,  I suppose your going to tell me next that cricket is a mans sport or that soccer is not a university for actors that specialize in faking sports injuries....

I did get my tree set up.  It’s beautiful!  That’s the best part of Christmas, the movies, music, lights and decorations.

Those are all pagan. : )

I'll not defend football but cricket is the best bat and ball sport ever invented.

As for Olympic medals,

Music is pagan?   Movies are pagan?  Lights?  How so?  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.  Beats the crap out of winter solstice. ;)

Winter solstice is pagan btw.  The yule is what they called it.  ;)

I get it, you don't have a long enough summer to get a full 5 day test match played.

No reason to lash out at cricket though.

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...

It's not that , I'm getting to old to drink for 5 days straight....besides there is no penalty box in cricket , when you need to take a break...

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.

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.

Obviously never actually played it.

Not to be taken seriously.
