Cheers Simon,
  No one said anything against competitiveness.  That's what philosphy
is all about, as well as most any endeavour worth it's while, especially
or even when it's a matter of competing against one's more or less
foolish selves... Perhaps I misunderstood Pearce's gestures, or the look
of hatred on his face, maybe it was only stress, who knows.  Didn't
make out what he said either.  Games are great, and inter-national
games can be very satisfying, I suppose they're an outgrowth of inter-
tribal games...it's rivalry all the way down.  It's the quality of the
rivalry and of the revelry that counts.  England's a great sporting
nation (I won't say anything about soccer hooligans, I promise), ko
