[quote=“Sidney, post: 850607, member: 183”]25. The recreational marathon runner
Never participated much in team sport as a youngster and now, approaching his 30th birthday, regrets it. Works in a sedentary office job. Was a bit out of shape due to a hectic work schedule, but has a bit more time on his hands now that he has moved up the ladder a bit. His girlfriend has dropped some hints that he should get in shape, and he has decided to take up running as it’s something to focus on, and a healthy body means a healthy mind, in his opinion. Believes that he organises his time better since taking up running and that it has helped him in his preofessional life. Always has a “to do” list handy. Can regularly be seen pounding the pavement, and participates in 10k races regularly to build up towards his goal of completing the Dublin marathon. May decide to participate in other marathons abroad if it goes well, with the ultimate goal being the New York marathon - if he’s lucky enough to get a place. Likes Coldplay and is a fair weather follower of Manchester United and very occasionally goes to a Dublin GAA or Leinster rugby match. Enjoys the compliments his friends give him about looking well on his rare nights out.[/quote]
I would age this guy in early to mid thirties with maybe a mediocre team sport background
Or mine. If we used the credit score system I’d say you could be in trouble. Plus my variety has to be an advantage. Makes me more complex and flexible. Not to mention the other non academic modalities of intelligence of which you clearly are lacking.

And no doubt my cock is bigger, so don’t bother[/quote]

you could probably add “has a fitness app to calorie count and more than likely has a hook nose”
Was born in a village in rural Ireland but wishes he was born in the South of England. Supports colonial pastimes such as Rugby Union, Cricket and Hockey with a passion but not Association Football. Was hoping that Ireland would reunite with UK during the financial crash. Sheds a silent tear whenever he hears GSTQ. Reads the Irish Times.
A shifty untrustworthy individual. Proclaims horse racing to be “The Sport of Kings”. Gets his kicks out of watching anorexic midgets flog dumb animals around a course in all weathers. Feels so inadequate about himself and his opinions that he must place bets to back them up. Loses more than he wins, not that you would know listening to him.Favourite day of the year is St. Stephens Day. Wets himself with excitement for a month before the “Cheltenham Festival”. (He was there once, he wore a suit). Probably missing a couple of teeth. Would not know one end of a horse from the other.

quality:clap:
On the same spectrum we have " the little englander"
usually resides in an urban area, grew up hating “the gah” and considers everything Irish to be “crap” and is totally ignorant of the country’s history.
Never played football and heaps scorn on the local team " it’s shit boy", spends all Saturday and Sunday in the boozer donned in Liverpool, Celtic or whatever other attire. Engages in chants in a manc accent about scousers eating rats or some shit, utterly addicted to SSN, will shun all an ireland final to watch a league 1 fixture, obsessed with the english national football team, passionately arguing why gerrard or lampard should be starting but will “hope they loose the cunts”. will have an allegiance to the sun or the daily mirror based on whatever british city he considers himself from.
after a bout of drink then he will claim he hates the Brits and will get all sentimental about the Ra and the troubles catholics in NI face, at the same time scowlng accross the bar at the fella in the united shirt as he’s a scouser.
This situation of hating the people who are actually those who you wish to adopt an identity with most be most damaging and probably explains why sedation with alchohol is a fundamental character of this man’s behaviour
in my opinion these people are the most bizarre inhabitants of Ireland, a case study should really be carried out on them in order to prevent them from being reproduced, the relationship between the west brit and the little englander is also indeed remarkable, both have contempt for each other but they are actually more british then the brits themselvs
Played minor/U21 and made the arse-end of the senior panel for a couple of Februarys. Occasionally called in for challenge games to make up numbers.
Carries a county gearbag to club games and always wears county togs/socks but once retired NEVER wears any county apparel to senior intercounty championship games, appearing instead in jeans, deck shoes and sleeveless body warmers.
Wears tape around his wrists and folds over the waistband of his togs. Blames teammates for his mistakes and their inability to “read the game”. Fiercely critical of players on the current county team.
Gives the impression that his inter-county career was 4 times the length it actually was by regaling people with stories of the mad craic when they went away to play Antrim/Down in the League. Always has an on-field story about how some inter-county legend was a complete tool.
Harbours a massive grudge against former managers/selectors for dropping him. His type tend to have very attractive trophy wives/girlfriends who are concealing major personal insecurity issues and, between them, tend to produce unusually ugly offspring.

You can apply most of that to more than just sport in this country…
