[kj] Sports

[Alexander Smith]

I wish I could knit. That would, at least, be useful -- unlike being  
able to properly kick a football.

Look, gents, I hate to admit this, but Peter West (i.e. Shite- 
Flinger) was probably right: I've been in a terrifically foul mood of  
late. I've no job, I'm hemorrhaging money, my severance has run out.  
I'm under tremendous pressure. Unfortunately, that's manifesting  
itself by turning me into an insufferably disagreeable bastard. I  
apologize.

I should probably recuse myself from the proceedings for a while.
