The pros average above 4.5MPR! They make me sick, but I'd really like to be that good one day:-D I managed a 10-week run with a 2.4 average last year, but it fell back and I have no clue why :((

The dividing line between what is and what isn't a sport is whether or not you can do it well when you are drunk. Bowling != sport, soccer == sport, etc... But then, you can do very well in a drinking contest while drunk (that is of course the point after all), so it can't be a sport! :) -- Russell Morris "WOW!

Using your definition it is a sport. The first thing a trainer instills in you is the ability not to get drunk, as in any form of event you will loose any competitive advantage. Also the amount of track work that you must do keeps you in good general fitness. Regardz Colin J Davies

Would you like a nice relaxing back rub, Dave ? Christian The tragedy of cyberspace - that so much can travel so far, and yet mean so little.

Second hand information only, Christian. We only get BBCA here, and there's nothing there worthy of a second glance. Glad to hear there's some quality work being done there! Export some, PLEASE!

BBCA? BBC America? From your description of the programming, I'd guess it is highly filtered and localised for the average Joe Shotgun over there. ;P ____________________ David Wulff hu·mour Pronunciation Key (hymr) n. & v. Chiefly British Dave's Code Project Screensaver and Wallpaper page.

I'm in Australia - we import it ourselves. The BBC has an excellent range of stuff on DVD, however. The Blue Planet in particular just *rules*.

All the naughty bits are, of course, removed. Along with anything the least bit witty, or interesting. The Great Unwashed Masses here buy an awful lot of advertised widgets here, so the producers don't dare offend anyone.

Christian Graus wrote: Walking with Dinosaurs Missed this one. In that case, move it straight to the top of your DVD's to purchase list, 'cause it is truely excellent. They made a one-off followup program called The Ballad of Big Al (or something along those lines) which is equally worth getting ahold of if you can. The BBC made a follow-up/spin-off series called Living with Dinosuars which covered the time between the last of the dinosaurs and the earlist humans - it is well worth adding this one to you list.
