Are you a blubber?
Mark Holland informs us that Englishmen on average cry 17 times a year. At first I was incredulous and then I started making a list:
- Kelly Holmes winning her second gold medal
- Any time I hear Nimrod
- Any time I hear the Japanese national anthem
- When they sing Abide with Me at Cup Finals
- Sometimes when I am listening to Vashti
- Occasionally when I think of friends far, far away
- Even the other night watching Wicker Park
Though, not girls or relationships, obviously. But even so, this is not an exhaustive list. I could easily get to 17. Frankly, it's pathetic. I am letting the side down. Badly. The sooner I remove myself from the British gene pool the better.

Those numbers sound dubious to me. And not to fear, Patrick - certain types of guys can get away with the occasional water works without letting the side down, and they are always blokes who are man enough to cop to doing it in the first place.
