Whats it to do with me and why should I feel proud?

TheCatWoman

Lots of sport on telly right now, as many of you probably already know, i don't like sport or really understand it and I dislike and don't understand competitiveness. But why am I expected to care when someone wins something, and the only thing we have in common is country of birth?

I didn't ask them to do it,

It makes no difference to my life if they win something,

Would they be proud of me for doing something well, I make really good mashed potato, but I don't think anyones going to give me a trophy and thousands in prize money, nor would I expect them too? Then they want me to do it all over again and keep doing it year after year until I "retire" usually due to age or injury? It makes no sense!

  • I personally don’t like sport, it’s most probably because I was so terrible at it in school.

    I do my work to a high standard, I like to do this to the best of my ability, not to be better than someone else.

    I do find it annoying when tv schedules are altered to accommodate sport, there are 100’s of channels, why must main channels have to change schedules, I’m sure the people who want to watch sports would still do it on another channel. I like regular tv programs to be where they belong and at their usual times. I really don’t like things being moved.

    Now, good mashed potato is an art, I remember school smash, it had the consistency of wallpaper paste, I’ve started adding finely chopped spring onion to mash, there is no end to my talent!
