Im with pig, basketball is the only American sport I don’t mind watching. Don’t have a clue what’s going on with baseball or NFL.

The other way around for me!
I actually used to play basketball (in a fun way rather than competitive) and it is a very good work out - end to end stuff literally and non stop/no where to hide - knackering stuff.
The problem was that regular scoring (unless you are nearly seven foot tall!) is basically just purely random for normal sized people.
Baseball is really good if you get a grasp of the rules and in a way similar to cricket where a game builds over time and can be utterly dull or amazingly exciting at the end.
Strangely enough nearly every film made about baseball is good, don't know why?
You don't need to know the rules or anything but if you've never seen them I would recommend watching -
The Natural - staring Robert Radford
Field of Dreams - Kevin Costner
League of their Own - Tom Hanks.
Probably my favourite sports move is about Ice Hockey called Slap Shot - here's a taster!

The biggest cheers at a baseball match arise when the cameras alight on individuals in the crowd and show them on the big screen. Dullsville!

I was told many years ago that the American public had a very short attention span, and that was why all their favourite sports are high scoring, to ensure they stay for the whole game.

Camping with my lad in Norfolk (weather shit for the first time in months, obviously) I’m developing an unhealthy dislike of blokes from Essex. Place is rammed with holidaymakers mainly from the South and Midlands (thanks Boris you knob) but the only three dickheads on the site are all from Essex. Gobby bloke in the next pitch spent the whole time bragging about his fancy car and fancy camping set up (70k worth) then his wife let slip it was all on credit and that they were from Essex. First thought was if he didn’t have all that kit he could probably buy somewhere nice to live I.e.not Essex. Next dickhead was effing and blinding at his kids and telling them how effing worthless they are - then nice as pie to the neighbours. Third dickhead yelled at the bar staff for slow service (due to covid measures) and ended up chucking a glass at a window and threatening folk.
I never like to generalise but Essex blokes I’ve met this week score 100% on the dickheadometer.
Everybody else has been kind, pleasant and public spirited.

Toasters. One of the most bonkers industries known to man.
My toaster broke a couple of weeks ago so I set out to find a new one. Simple you might think, a toaster is a toaster, right?
Wrong.
I bought two toasters last week and returned them both. Why? Because they don't fit Warburtons bread in the slots. You know Warburtons, THE MOST POPULAR BREAD IN THE UK.
The slots aren't tall enough to toast the whole slice, so you end up having to turn the bread upside down halfway through. What madness is this?
It's 2020, is it really so difficult to make toaster slots an inch deeper?

Where's the line between Art and the Emperor's New Clothes? Some creators of pieces of work seem to think the purpose is simply to provoke a reaction.
I still think the film The Favourite, for all the awards it won, is actually just the writer having a laugh at our expense....stuff it full of brilliant actresses and create the illusion of something too deep and meaningful for the man in the street to understand.
I appreciate art that has something meaningful to say about the world and its inhabitants.
