here track and field is called "athletics." so it makes it confusing when a question on a quiz show can be, "what type of sport team is the thames valley harriers?" and the choices are a) athletics b) football c) tennis and d) cricket...and the right answer is a, athletics, which i assume to be a category encompassing the other three choices. god, i'm boring, aren't i? but there are so many little things for me to learn here.

columbo's best friend hugo (i hate pseudonyms so much) was in town last night. big huggable lovable lump from the west country. i like him. nice guy. last night at the pub was quite fun and i enjoyed it all the more for drinking half as much as usual. moderation is my watchword now. :)
