Serious sport has nothing to do with fair play. It is bound up with hatred, jealousy, boastfulness, disregard of all rules and sadistic pleasure in witnessing violence. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I do not need to tell you that I had entered this into a different writing contest, but each line is a letter of the sentence, "British Council is 75." The last sentence had to start off with that number. I hope you think it is good, even under the restrictions. =3 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  In other words, it is war minus the shooting.-George Orwell (1903-1950)
