No Steve.......I would only go, to have the pleasure of meeting you two fine gents.

I reckon my dislike of sport goes back to schooldays. I was pretty useless.......too short for netball(and always in the wrong bit of the court)......too scared to play rounders( whose idea was it to put a half brick in a bit of leather and call it a ball?)
'Unco-ordinated' was my middle name so no good at badminton, tennis, table tennis - I was making a swing for the ball long after it had shot past me earholes.
This meant that when picking teams - I was in the 'leavings'...no-one wanted to be handicapped by my efforts.

Didn't want to be doing stuff I had no chance of winning at. That's my excuse!
