With England out of the World Cup and likely to be embarrassed by Costa Rica tomorrow, the cricket team at 5 down and 300 needed and despite Andy Murray sailing through his first round at Wimbledon, we know what is likely to happen soon, don't we? We need cheering up. Our government is offering advice by suggesting having sex. You can, if you would prefer, exercise, do something different or sing. Strikes me sex covers all the bases then! Mark Renton famed for the film Trainspotting exclaimed that after sex, he had not felt so good since Archie Gemmill scored against Holland in the 1978 finals. If only England would score more goals.
Sex as a distraction, might also prevent football fans from over drinking or eating badly. But don't blame everything on poor food, the Department of Health reports an increase of heart attacks by 50% when England lost to Germany on penalties in the 1996 Euros. Sporting failure or even success causes our medical facilities to be over stretched .
Sadly, reported today is another social issue, that is the increase in domestic violence after England's disappointing performances in Brazil this summer. Let's hope that on Tuesday night when our boys are finally heading from Brazil or Headingly, pulses rise in the bedroom and not in the kebab shop.
Come Andy, you can do it for Scotland.
