Games People Play

@woodgirl said
I was rubbish at all of the sports we did at school. I lacked the coordination to catch a netball or hit a tennis ball and spent most of my time fielding during a game of rounders.

Judo, rugby and cricket. At school only and specifically, boxing, cross-country running, basketball.

I also played darts at a good standard in the London leagues in the late 1980s. I turned down the chance to play pool against Oxford University in 1984 and 1986. I also played solid Mansour Bahrami-level table tennis in Indonesia in the early 1990s.

As measured against the cold harsh reality of the world around me, my best sport was judo at a regional and national level.

The sport through which I had the most impact on others [captaining, coaching, club committee etc.] was cricket.

Have you been boxing apples long and does it pay well? 😛 🙂

That’s a wide range of sporting games and games.

When would he be doing this, he is always here! 🙂

He died once and came back to life also. 🙂

Perhaps he is talking in his younger years!

I went to a sports mad school. Taught by American brothers [and Irish priests]. Very serious basketball. Hardnose approach to rugby. "Track and field" strong. Soccer and cricket weak. Judo was a whole different world from school.

Yes, he did give school and university a mention.
Actually he still has the physique of a sportsman Rusty. I recon he does a few squats & burpees between posts in his recording studio.

Yes, he did give school and university a mention which was how long ago?

You must know him personally in the real world?

Talking 'bout you and me
And the games people play

Rotten book, though. A cheap knock-off Freud, didn't even acknowledge it, and was even more dubious than him.

He was disillusioned by Freud

Better than being disillusioned by the TWINS! 🙂 😛

Shouldn't have thought up a cheap knock-up copy of his id-ego-superego theory, then.

Look into my eyes, look into my eyes
You are to be friends with, and support the TWINS
Repeat after me…
“The TWINS rule … the TWINS are good… the TWINS are my overlords”


Your “disillusionment” complete!
