A More Active BH108 Than Usual
Back to the Realm of Hard Bastards
Here is that sports quiz I promised many moons ago. Back when I was young, or as is more accurate, when I was 27-years-old.
This may be part of my drive to improve and tighten up an obvious relative weakness, and I must say delving into sport is always a lot more enjoyable than I think it will be, but - here's the "more so" part - really I just looked at the Trevor Montague's A-Z of Sport perched atop my bulging box of quiz-related literature (this particular plastic receptacle is severely cracked and ready to spill its entirely trivial contents all over my bomb site of a bedroom, thus turning it into another even more heinous assault course) and thought I really must write me (and you) a set from it because it is a tremendously useful book for the sports ignoramus and fan respectively. So I did. One hundred and one questions.
Going back to the weakness, I think my main trouble when I am confronted with a sports and games genre paper is that my guesses are complete tripe and my near-misses are agonising to behold. I just don't pay enough attention to the important bits. Thus, I lose far too many points to carelessness. And carelessness does foul things to my psyche.
Therefore a bit of spit and polish is needed. A bit of discipline and serious application. Some more sturdy reinforcement.
My problem is that the majority of work I've been doing over the years and fading of my youth has been coralled from reference books and sources geared towards hard general knowledge that will, in all honesty, only be asked once during my entire life span if I'm lucky. Such sources which are scant when it comes to 1904 Olympic gold-winning swimmers or even 50kg right-armed arm wrestling world champs. Sport is far too superfluous a subject to cover in encyclopedias beyond "Muhammad Ali was a boxer. He won many fights. He is arguably the finest pugilist in history. More platitudes here". If such books could speak, they would say: "But we need all the room we can get for every Nobel Prize for Literature winner". And that is fair enough. Learning beats out people running around a field any day of the week, at least in the eyes of library reading room-bound academics.
Suffice to say, I consider this stuff quite hard, though it will probably appear somewhat straightforward to the stereotypical sports nutter. You may now chow down. Yum yum: get that athletic goodness down your gullet. If you care.

Here is that sports quiz I promised many moons ago. Back when I was young, or as is more accurate, when I was 27-years-old.
This may be part of my drive to improve and tighten up an obvious relative weakness, and I must say delving into sport is always a lot more enjoyable than I think it will be, but - here's the "more so" part - really I just looked at the Trevor Montague's A-Z of Sport perched atop my bulging box of quiz-related literature (this particular plastic receptacle is severely cracked and ready to spill its entirely trivial contents all over my bomb site of a bedroom, thus turning it into another even more heinous assault course) and thought I really must write me (and you) a set from it because it is a tremendously useful book for the sports ignoramus and fan respectively. So I did. One hundred and one questions.
Going back to the weakness, I think my main trouble when I am confronted with a sports and games genre paper is that my guesses are complete tripe and my near-misses are agonising to behold. I just don't pay enough attention to the important bits. Thus, I lose far too many points to carelessness. And carelessness does foul things to my psyche.
Therefore a bit of spit and polish is needed. A bit of discipline and serious application. Some more sturdy reinforcement.
My problem is that the majority of work I've been doing over the years and fading of my youth has been coralled from reference books and sources geared towards hard general knowledge that will, in all honesty, only be asked once during my entire life span if I'm lucky. Such sources which are scant when it comes to 1904 Olympic gold-winning swimmers or even 50kg right-armed arm wrestling world champs. Sport is far too superfluous a subject to cover in encyclopedias beyond "Muhammad Ali was a boxer. He won many fights. He is arguably the finest pugilist in history. More platitudes here". If such books could speak, they would say: "But we need all the room we can get for every Nobel Prize for Literature winner". And that is fair enough. Learning beats out people running around a field any day of the week, at least in the eyes of library reading room-bound academics.
Suffice to say, I consider this stuff quite hard, though it will probably appear somewhat straightforward to the stereotypical sports nutter. You may now chow down. Yum yum: get that athletic goodness down your gullet. If you care.
