[kj] Bloodsport

Yep, my feeling is that it's just another daft comment from Jaz.  But for instance I wouldn't be surprised if he goes fishing.  (Jaz and Geordie fishing together... what a sight that would be.  Geordie would be all zen, not really bothered about whether he catches anything, while Jaz would be stomping up and down the riverbank, haranguing passing ramblers who are looking at their OS map about how the magnetic variation has shifted...)


I also recall Raven's comment about fighting dogs.  I'm pretty sure he didn't mean it (as per the comments below about how much he loved his dogs, being essentially kind-hearted, etc etc).  I also recall him making some comment in favour of the animal liberation front (again, probably off-the-cuff rather than a considered opinion).
