Are you a good actor?
That's totally fine and perfectly normal. But some people are such good actors that they have trouble staying themselves.

England lock Joe Launchbury says they are "desperate" to end the Test series against South Africa on a high at Newlands this Saturday afternoon.

The Red Roses have already surrendered the series after losing the first two Tests in Johannesburg and Bloemfontein.

I personally think they (English) will win the match as the South Africans are complacent with the 2 wins in the bag.

Hope everyone has a great day. Scammers and Trolls too

The Spaniard, Rafael Nadal, just won The French Open for men, his 3rd in a row and 12th overall, tennis championship done on clay in dominant fashion, only losing one set, the second, after a tiebreaker 7 - 5 and winning the last 2, both 6-1.
The win puts him well ahead of Max Decugis, who between 1903 to 1914 had 8 French championships, all before the open format, for the most in history.
Besides those 2 men, only 9 other men in history have won that championship more than twice.

Here's to you Raf

I spent the holiday weekend in Miami (pressure cleaning, patching and painting) with three sessions of model helicopter practice in the local school yard. No rules and no one to bother me.

Arriving home Sunday evening and checking email I see the government issued a few flight restrictions this past week in the airspace over Fort Lauderdale and others in Palm Beach County.

It goes without saying the VIP was president Trump in town. His public online calendar showed he was away Thursday (surprise visit to the troops in Afghanistan) and back to Mar-a-Lago on Friday and stayed through Sunday afternoon.
During that time, all outdoor model aircraft are banned from flight within 30 nautical miles of "Area A" as outlined on an attached map. Although his calendar showed he left Palm Beach Airport at 4:20pm (still daylight) but the ban is in effect until midnight.

Now that Trump claims Mar-a-Lago as his primary residence, the model aircraft pilots at the county sponsored airfield in Palm Beach will be shut down more often.
Good thing there's another park in West Fort Lauderdale on the edge of the Everglades that's outside the no flight zone restrictions.

It starts at the end of July after a new reset 'spring' training.

Viva Bokke Viva!!

Cricket , known as "Gentlemen's Game" , one of the most popular and costly team game in the world of sports ...

It has gone through so many re-evaluation and reforms till date...

But , still , some rules seem really weird !!!

Pickleball is a sport played on a court that is smaller than tennis, with racquets that are like ping-pong paddles, only larger. It can be played as a singles game, but often played as doubles because it's quick action. I've seen a few pickleball courts in my travels and it seems to attract women as it's social and less strenuous than tennis.

Near one of the courts, I found a bumper sticker on the car of an avid player. Although they give warning that they brake for pickleball, it would appear the driver behind them didn't.



Ouch!

Boxing legend Leon Spinks died Friday at the age of 67 after a long battle with prostate cancer.
His final years were clouded with physical ailments and in 2017 when inducted to the Nevada Boxing Hall of Fame he struggled to walk and was pushed in a wheelchair by his wife Brenda.

...sure, all, there are other world class MALE real team sports. Such as the ever more girlie,--- socker, rugby and that silly Aussie rules sandbox game.
But for real men, such as the tall stature, VERY tall, Vierk, come on, folks.
But not to digress.
Here we have quarterback Sir Tom Brady, pummeling the sissies led team from KC, some 31 to 9, almost from starters, with three TD passes, over 200 yards, no interceptions, and so much more. MVP, for the fifth time, and winner in seven out of ten appearances at this sacred venue.
He is easily the BEST all time QB in the game. And as to all time best US team athlete, is ahead of even Michael Jordan. VERY ahead.
But here are the kickers. speaking of the world's best game.
He did it all this time, with having just arrived at a new team. A 7 in 9 looser. Out of his home turf advantage elephant . And in his early 40's. Attributes it to a nice family values homelife, a devoted hottie wife, and hours of training daily. And good food with moderation in most things.
WTF!
I remember the acclaimed film "White Men Can't Jump". By a Honky director, who gets how to end the curse of real leftie Democrat Harris-Biden self-loathing, white privilege guilt racism. Oh yeah.
As evidenced by. VERY as.
