Was playing cricket last night and, if I say so myself, I was damn good. Top scored with the bat and would have been very happy with my day's work except the other team had some genius Aussie batsman who took a liking to my legspin.

Anyway, with the World Cup looming in front of us like a massive sports breast, let's hear some of your great exploits on whatever field it is you like to exploit.

Three point shot at the buzzer in an official basketball game for my club was about it. Besides that, nothing special really... 🙁

I played in a charity event at Bolton's Reebok stadium and hacked down Paddy "Max and Paddy" McGuinness as he tried to go round me on the outside. The cheeky sod.

Inexplicably, I won a first place trophy in a karate tournament years ago.


Yes, there were other contestants participating.

I nearly got into a fight last night, playing football. I do play a little aggressively, and I only shouldered this guy ... into a wall.

"You dirty fouling b@$tard" and other obscenities ensued. I think what made it worse was that I took a fit of the giggles. We all went to the pub afterwards and this guy couldn't even look at me.

So I said to him, "Listen, if it's too rough for ya sweetheart, why don't you send your boyfriend next time."

Needless to say, it was handbags at thirty paces. Next week's football should be a laugh.

It was for my performance of specific "kata," which are predetermined forms, not for combat, which I actually think I'm better at. Just one of those days where no thought is necessary and the kata manifests on its own.
