Having finished my last post with a quote from Douglas Adams, I shall start this one with another:
We don’t have to save the world. The world is big enough to look after itself. What we have to be concerned about is whether or not the world we live in will be capable of sustaining us in it.
I’m strapped into my seat and the aircraft is sitting on the tarmac at the terminal, as it has been for over ten minutes. What is delaying our departure? A truck. The catering truck has delivered our simple refreshments and now it can’t be detached from the side of the aircraft. Engineers are on the way.
One myth I live by is that sport used to be sport – not politics or commerce or an opportunity to shame someone. Sport used not to be about technology but certainly about enjoyment – on the part of those participating and those watching.
