Ashes? Meh!
Stick on some real sport. Rugby!

The woman talks sense.
The ashes is a real problem for all scotsmen - we have basically 2 choices neither of which are too appealing. we can either:
a) Support the English (yeah, like thats gonna happen.....)
or
b) Support a bunch of convicts
Then of course we remember it is cricket which is a silly game and change the channel to rugby or fitba'
There once was a scotsman named Drew
Who put too much wine in his stew
He felt a bit drunk
And fell off his bunk
And landed smack into his shoe ~(C) Ms Niamh Anne King
Whoa. "Real" sport?
You mean that game where 15 blokes run around the paddock, not having a clue what's going on, or who has the ball because the rules are utterly incomprehensible and even the ref just guesses most of the time?
That game where half of all the world cup finals to date have been completed without a single try being scored?
The game where one team can put together brilliant move after brilliant move, driving possession downfield to score 5 points, then 3 minutes later, watch the opposition score three after being penalised because the tighthead prop put his hand on the ground?
The game which still bans padding in its rules, but has 100% of its international players wearing padding?
Is that the one? I've played that once or twice.
How could you not side with the Aussies? Jeez, they're your spirit brothers!
Check it out:
Hate England with a passion.
Prefer beating England to any other team on the planet.
Drink lots of alcohol.
Love fighting.
Hell, most Aussies are Scottish!
I believe Association Football has been permitted here from time to time. Some years back, one of the footmen's grandsons was competing in quite a large competition. Played just over the other side of London, in Wembley, as it happens. Mid May, I think it was. No idea what it was all about, but an awful lot of people seemed very happy that young Southall's team won.
I'm sure Parker won ten pounds from some bookmaker at the time.

Let us not argue over the relative merits of Rugby ,Association Football or Cricket, which mean little to our transatlantic cousins, and concentrate on the two greatest sports that encompass both sides of the Atlantic and the Pacific;namely, tennis and golf; which happen to be my own preferred sporting endeavours. I would suggest that the club installs television for the American PGA/Open and Ryder Cup tournaments and also the Wimbledon grass court championships.
Is golf really a sport? I never knew that . . .
How about the western sport of rodeo? THAT is a man's game.
Golf? might as well be discussing Cricket.

Chaps! Come on! In our world, every day is the Oxbridge boat race - that surely is our sport!
"I should only believe in a God that would know how to dance. And when I saw my devil, I found him serious, thorough, profound, solemn: he was the spirit of gravity- through him all things fall. Not by wrath, but by laughter, do we slay. Come, let us slay the spirit of gravity!" - Nietzsche
Sounds entirely reasonable!
Not to mention the Open Championship, often mistakenly referred to as "The British Open".
Western? The Welsh do rodeo?

Apologies- AMERICAN sport . . .
What about boxing, rugby (mentioned already), full contact martial arts, and ice hockey?
Anything that dishes out a good bruising and a few broken bones works for me. I enjoy the UFC quite a bit, but boxing will work.
I think someone should be shooting paintballs at the golfers.
Where else?
Why do women have smaller feet?
So they can stand closer to the sink.
