Well here we are, Back again with another Issue of the Magazine. You know it's hard to believe that we have only been working on the Re-Issue of the CRYPT for 12 months. So much work has gone into the Re-Introduction of the Magazine, That Time seems to have Flown past.
Our Website has, Of course Not been Running that long, However to date we can boast, Well in excess of 5,000 Visitors :) ...Our Mailing list, While still at a Modest 20+ generates around 400 mails per Month.
All in All ...We are very happy with the Progress of The Publication, And we are now spread far and wide, Becoming a World Wide Publication, Even read by the PC User.
OK! Enough about RIYAN Pro and the CRYPT, Breaking with Tradition, I decided to veer off topic with this Editorial and talk about something completely Different.
Mm! Might seem a strange Subject, Considering that I'm as
Energetic as a Geriatric Slug. However This topic is due because
of an Article i read in a National Newspaper, Regarding the
Government, Deciding to Spend lots of OUR (The Tax Payers) Money
on a Survey to find out why we (In Britain) are not so good at
Sports (Certainly on the World Stage) and in particular
Athletics. Now! Mr Blair .....Can I call you Tony? ..... Suit yourself then.
Right Mr Blair and your wonderful Cabinet, The Ferret is just
the Person to explain why people in the Country, are failing at
world Sports, And the People to blame are Yourselves (The Bloody
Government). Yep! You are the People that has passed Laws and Changed our way
of life, You are the People to blame because we are not as Good
as other Countries. You don't believe me ...Do you. Huh! But I
can prove it ...Just Read on.
Are we any good at it? ...No ...Why ...Simple because the only
people you see walking about carrying 15 foot poles would be a
Scaffolder. People who used to be interested in Clearing High
Wall etc.. Were Our Prisoners, However since you turned the
Prisons over to Private enterprise, They just walk out now-a-days
No need to become skilled in the Art of Pole Jumping.
Britain had world class sprinters up until around 10 years ago,
Why not Now? Could it have anything to do with the Fact that the
Government changed the Laws, and allowed Pubs to stay open later,
People don't have to Sprint out at 9.30 to get a few in before
10p.m. closing anymore, Just take a slow wander down to the Pub,
Plenty time Now.
Ah! The fine art of Throwing a Plate shaped object as far as
Possible, Great when we all stayed in Massive Houses, The Wives
could Throw Plates for Miles, Certainly when the Man had just
returned Legless from the Local. Now our houses are so small that
again we have lost the art of distance, Depending now upon
Accuracy.
Invented as a Sport when the British Navy ran out of Gunpowder
for the Cannons, We just threw the Balls at the Opposing Fleet.
Now you tell our Seamen that you can't afford the shells during
Exercises, And instruct them to Pull the Trigger and Shout BANG. However all this isn't just Athletics, Other Sports suffer at
your hands as well. Lets look at Formula 1 Motor racing. We have
an excellent Driver in David Coultard, He has a Quick Car (
British made ) Is he a World beater ..NO ..Why because that wee
German fella beats him all the Time. Now its not Coultards fault,
It you the Governments fault. Anyone driving at highspeed in the
Streets of Britain, and they suddenly see a series of white
markings on the Road "CHRIST SPEED CAMERAS" and they Slam on the
Brakes. What do you see at the Start finish line on an F1 Circuit
.....White lines. Yup David Slams on the Anchors every time he
sees them for fear of getting a speeding ticket. NOW! To be fair here ...If my Theory is to hold any water, Then
we should be good at certain sports, The ones we practice in
everyday life. With the highest (person per Person) Murder rate in Europe, Then
is it surprising that we have champions in Clay Pigeon Shooting? We win a bucketfull of Medals in the Rowing events ... Not
surprised ..We have the Highest Fuel Tax in Europe, Rowing is a
dammed sight cheaper. Then there is the Hop, Skip & Jump ...A World Record ...Huh!
Anyone who walks our City Streets at 7 in the Morning becomes a
world Beater. HOP ...Over the half eaten Pizza's Skip ..Over the pile of Vomit Jump...Over the Dog Shit And all because You cut Council Spending. So you see Mr Blair ...You didn't need to spend all the money to
find out what's going wrong, All you had to do was Read the CRYPT :)
