Yes, Selim, welcome.
I notice that you're really good at very complicated things.
I've tried to understand cricket. I really, really have. And it completely baffles me.
So, I envy your ability to play that.
You must be athletically and metally gifted.
As to the trains and their timetables.
Lord! Ive seen and read some stuff about the Brits and their trains. It's like you can get anyplace and everypalce if only you make enough transfers and connections. But it can be really, really complicated!
So, I envy your ability to comprehend all of that complex stuff.
As to the tennis . . .
Well, Selim, you have to be boringly normal at something!
Don't you?
Enjoy!
And may you find the information, inspiration and comfort you need.
Alan

My parent's house is called Howzat, because when my father and grandfather finished building it, that was the first thing they said, "how's that?". There's even a little cricket bat carved into the wood right next to the house number, and possibly even a ball(I can't remember 
). Not that any of us actually care for cricket however. As a matter of fact, I don't like any sports, with the possible exception of foxy boxing, which totally doesn't deserve the stigma that surrounds it, hmm?
