Spotting on the Sandbach to Chester Railroad by wyleu

Well, I had the joyous sight of snow on April the First!

Certainly a bright clear blue morning but with light snow in the verges and edges of the road, already loosing to the early morning sun. The air was fresh but windy from the North East. All in all a lovely morning.

The difficulties of Ski-ing and an in depth comparison of the concepts of offside in Football & Cricket, made for weighty fair, and the complex procedure of a batsman stepping in front of a line of slips, before the ball had bounced certainly allowed for some wonderfully complex computer graphics to enforce such a rule and we can see an easy job creation mechanism of fifth umpire to police this important new procedure. Sponsors are already access sight lines and weary graphic designers are busying entering hastily calculated angles into Macintoshes as we type.

Quite how your average footballer will cope with the concept of a weighted goal value, distinguishing their stronger and weaker foot, is a little more difficult. After soon to be published extensive research at the University of Ellesmere Port, early findings are indicating that a staggering 73% of people who regard themselves as footballers don't realise they have another foot, so explaining that they had lost to a right footed shot from a declared left footed player will present major problems but re targeted maths teachers are already being sounded out for a conceptual presentation to aid they process, and the sponsorship of the colouring of the pitch to indicate left and right has already reached a considerable Dutch auction.

Of course, since nobody understands the offside rule in rugby they can't play.
