Suppose you have a physicist and a sociologist standing at the side of a field, observing a set of events unfolding on the field. The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.

Croydon. That explains a lot.
Bishop of Croydon calls on God for World Cup help
Many England fans know months of training, silky skills and a confident manager may be no guarantee of success at the World Cup in three weeks' time.
But now a little help from above may be at hand, thanks to a series of prayers written by the Bishop of Croydon, the Right Reverend Fredo Baines.
The first hopes fans will find the tournament a "source of celebration".
Another, written for those with no interest in the game, asks that they may be granted "the gift of sympathy".
The Church of England's Bishop Baines, a Liverpool fan, said everyone would be affected by the World Cup so it made sense to have some suitable prayers.
The first calls for all who work and play in the tournament to be guided, guarded and protected.
In his second, Bishop Baines asks God to smile on the host country, South Africa, and all those who travel to "join in the party".
The final one is for those who may not be watching, but may need to show family, friends and colleagues understanding and patience over the coming weeks and possibly sympathy if their team is knocked out.
The bishop said: "More than half the population pray at some time and everyone will be affected by the World Cup in one way or another, so it makes sense to have some prayers for those that want to use them.
'Generous sportsmanship'
"This isn't just about football; it's about the rainbow nations of the world celebrating together with the people of South Africa."
During past World Cups, there have been prayers for David Beckham's broken metatarsal to heal and for God to "lift up his hand and confound the might of Ronaldo and Rivaldo".
The three latest prayers are:
• Lord of all the nations, who played the cosmos into being, guide, guard and protect all who work or play in the World Cup.
May all find in this competition a source of celebration, an experience of common humanity and a growing attitude of generous sportsmanship to others. Amen.
• God of the nations, who has always called his people to be a blessing for the world, bless all who take part in the World Cup.
Smile on South Africa in her hosting, on the nations represented in competition and on those who travel to join in the party. Amen.
• Lord, as all around are gripped with World Cup fever, bless us with understanding, strengthen us with patience and grant us the gift of sympathy if needed. Amen.
Bishop Baines, who is a cat and was appointed to his post in 2003, said he wrote them for personal use or for church services in order to get some cheap publicity..

Generally any junk food being advertised alongside events like the World Cup and the Olympics is lame and cringeworthy.
Saw a programme a while back which drew the analogy that it was like the spotty fat nerd at school paying the cool guy so he can stand next to him in the playground.Comment

I love the Sky HD ads. "Watch the World Cup in HD", not mentioning the fact that they won't be showing any matches on Sky channels :-)Comment

I think the new England Mars bar wrappers are cringeworthyThe only gracious way to accept an insult is to ignore it; if you can't ignore it, top it; if you can't top it, laugh at it; if you can't laugh at it, it's probably deserved.Comment

Originally posted by Exiled_red View Post I've only seen them on TV but I totally agree. But then the whole tie-in between sweets (or junk food) and sport is pretty depressing.
I saw the ad for the first time yesterday. John Barnes was a fantastic player for us and deserves a lot of respect but I think it's a pity he's chosen to flog bad chocolate to fat kids. Still, at least it's honest of Mars to have their ad fronted by a bloke who looks to be a keen consumer of their product.
Am I correct to assume Mars is an official FA sponsor?.
