C'mon, how can anyone watch and enjoy golf on the TV, whether they've paid for it or not??

What about triple jump then? I suppose you think that's a valid sport? Now long jump, I can see the point of that... But triple jump? You'd have fallen down the hole/into the stream etc!

Similar to football, I think i.e. hit the ball in a certain place and score more points than your oppenent. Therefore, I would have to say it's quite a valid sport.

But triple jump is just rules gone too far...

And synchronised swimming as well... WTF??? How can that be considered a sport?

Anyway, back to work now

[ExChrispy Porker]

Hop, step, jump. It's as simple as that.
Many, many more rules in Tennis surely?

Yes, but WHY? I can understand "jump". But who in heaven's name thought up that combination? It's just perverse...
