Field Theory: How's that working out for…, in reply to BenWilson,
if you're out fishing
Surely one has staff for that kind of thing, though, no?

Personally, I'd draw it just below the Algonquin Round Table.
That Dorothy Parker was quite a hottie for a stuck-up cow, though, eh?

But with cycling, for example, and rowing, the equipment is mandated to be the same. So it relies on much much more of the skill/endurance/sheer madness of the sportsperson.
I'd love to see you explain that to 10-times world champion Valentino Rossi. For three different teams. :)
Anyway, we probably all need to calm down a little. And maybe try something that no-one could possibly turn into a competitive sport.
Yoga should so the trick on both scores.
Oh, wait...

starting with that beastly American army bully on the Sky TVCs
Ok, but wasn't part of the subtext of those ads to contrast the laid-back nature of the kiwi cameramen with the uptight US drill sergant? Which, similar to how Ben explained it, makes it a laughing-at-ourselves joke.

Or motorsport?

To me, yachting isn't a sport - and I mean this at America's Cup level - simply because the thing that seems to define it is how much money you spend on your boat. And the skill required to sail said boat is secondary.
OK, but what about compression vests/pants for sprinters or swimmers?
Perhaps we should make everyone compete naked...?

Of course you’re bringing the joylessness yourself. They’re your feelings! I don’t understand your point.
There's possibly a certain amount of 'with us or against us' vibe to some of the promotion.
I'm actually mildly excited about the fireworks, though. First time for fireworks for my daughter, and I'll keep her up and climb Mt Vic for a good view. The rest of the tournament? Well, I hope everyone enjoys it, but I'm not too bothered. Unless England start winning, in which case I've always loved rugby, wonderful game, long time fan, so evocative, the sound of leather on willow...
Telecom scraps no sex RWC campaign
What a waste of a good fistmobile.

'K, try three.
Does anyone else find this photo...odd?
ETA: Oh, FFS.
Describe it to us.
Stumbled across the photo online, if anyone is still interested.
Not only the chap in the foregound who looks like he's doing the traditional "well-I'll-try-them-on-but-I'm-not-sure-they'll-suit-me", but the guy off to the right who looks like an off-duty school prefect, just casually standing there with his arms behind his back.

Hard News: The new riot reporter, in reply to Craig Ranapia,
public libraries are evil literary tinny houses for us weak-willed bibliophiles...:)
Innit. They'll find me one day sprawled on my bed, surrounded by half-read books face-down to keep the page, a folio dropping from my limp fingers as my sightless eyes stare at the ceiling.
"the purity of the metaphor was too strong for him, ma'am. We're seeing a lot of this sort of thing with the new first editions out on the streets."

The other way of looking at this is that as soon as the tournament is over, for the AB's at least, the sooner everyone can get back to doing it.
So clearly Telecom and Saachi want the AB's to be knocked out at the earliest possible opportunity.
Is that what you wanted Fitzpatrick? Is it!? Is it!? You traitor scum.
