I don't want to be mixed up with this

"The officiall viewpoint in the upper house, the Lords that is, is we'll never crack this European thing ´till we can hook you European Johnnys onto cricket. While they've asked me get before the committee to explain the finer points, the innitial breefing goes something like this."

"Cricket. There are two sides out in the field, one out and one in. And each chap that's in the side that's in, goes out and when he's out, comes back in. And the next chap goes in, until he's out. And when their all out, the side that's been out, comes in. And the side that's in, goes out and tries to get out those chaps that are trying to get in. And then again, of course, you get a chap who's still in and therefore not out. But ones everybody's been in and out, including the not outs, that's the end of the mach. It's really quite simple."

I wanted to be clearly understood before you start

Yesterday they played women's EURO CUP Final in Olympic Stadium, a fact that became apparent when we walked pass the place, to swim in the Swimming Stadium.

In our family we don't do spectator sports. The one time Crumpet went into a hockey match she thought on the first intermediate that the game was over..:D (Well, she was only ten:))

When we travelled to Vienna in 2008, neither of us knew that we had booked our trip coinciding with men's EURO CUP games - this we only found out when we were about to book a hotel and for some reason all the rooms seemed to be booked :D Well, Crumpet agreed to watch the Final in bar near our hotel, even though that took good amount of refreshments..

To have common knowledge, one has to know a certain amount of information on sports as well, but that in our opinion that can be required by reading the sports pages cursory..to us that's enough of our time we can waste on the matter.

Eilen Olympiastadionilla pelattiin naisten jalkapallon EM-finaali - asia mikä kävi hyvin selväksi, kun siitä ohi kävelimme Stadikalle uimaan..

Meidän perheessämme ei harrasteta penkkiurheilua. Kun C aikoinaan sen yhden ja ainoan kerran meni jääkiekko-otteluun, luuli hän ensimmäisellä väliajalla, että peli päättyi siihen.. :D. (Hän oli tosin silloin vasta kymmenen:))

Kun matkustimme Wieniin 2008, emme kumpikaan tienneet, että matkamme oli buukattu juuri jalkapallon EM-kisojen aikaan - tämä selvisi meille vasta siinä vaiheessa kun olimme varaamassa hotellia ja kaikki paikat olivat mystisesti täynnä :D No, C suostui silti katsomaan finaaliottelun hotellin lähibaarissa, tosin se vaati hieman marinointia..

Yleissivistykseen kuuluu tietty tietomäärä myös urheilusta, jonka saavuttaa mainiosti lukemalla urheilusivut kursorisesti läpi..enempää emme aiheeseen jaksa aikaa haaskata.
