Pathetic.
I see that Richard - he of the "I'll watch the games free at the pub" mentality thereby cutting into poor old SKY TV's profits was also disappointed at the All Black's draw. The poor old guy can't commiserate with a slap up roast dinner since his oven door fell off. Yes, that's what I said HIS OVEN DOOR FELL OFF - how weird's that? What next? His washing machine will escape? His toilet will go on strike? Things are strange down in Nuova Lazio I tell you. No doubt he's eating lasagne and roast potatoes cooked in a pan on the hob.
Anyway - I digress, let's get back to sport. Since the rugby is disappointing I'd better watch beach volleyball but, As Richard has suggested, a more age appropriate version.

though Robert could be wrong.
Robert said "Hypocrite" in a comment before he removed it.
I take it as a quote from T.S. Eliot's The Waste Land:
“‘You! hypocrite lecteur!—mon semblable,— mon frère!’”
Which was in turn borrowed from Baudelaire’s preface to 'Fleurs du Mal'.
I love The Waste Land.
Here's the entire segment in 'The Burial of the Dead'
There I saw one I knew, and stopped him, crying: "Stetson!
You were with me in the ships at Mylae!
The corpse you planted last year in your garden,
Has it begun to sprout? Will it bloom this year?
Or has the sudden frost disturbed its bed?
Oh keep the dog far hence, that's friend to men,
Or with his nails he'll dig it up again!
You hypocrite lecteur!—mon semblable—mon frère!"
Thanks Robert.
I'm flagellating over this post.
Yes, well, you've always be in need of discipline.
Maybe this will help:
