I think I have a new favourite sport. Of course, I’ll always have a great affinity for cricket, but that’s the preserve of long, slow, sunny afternoons. Now, though, I have thought up something new to play: cripple chicken. It’s quite a straightforward game: it is played when two people in wheelchairs approach one another from opposite directions along a narrow path. The winner is the parson who holds their course and refuses to give way. You would be surprised how often it’s played; most of the time, competitors don’t even realise they’re playing it.. I’m pleased to say I’m becoming quite good at it, especially when I play against old people driving scooters (who barely know how to drive them anyway, but that’s another entry…)
