I came across this photograph the other day and I know I am supposed to disapprove but I have to admit I thought it was great to see someone not taking his sport so seriously that he couldn’t have a quick beer and a cigarette whilst waiting to go on. Those were, maybe, more innocent times but I love the spirit of recklessness in this guy who looks freed from all the nanny-state regulations that haunt us these days. I’m not going to take up smoking again but, God, it looks enjoyable. Would he pass a drug test I wonder.
