  • I'm a fan of football. Having grown up watching and playing it, I see no time in the future where I won't be watching it. It's an "always have, always will" sort of thing. 

But there are some things I could totally do without: see how many you agree or disagree with! I’m sure there’s other stuff I haven’t listed here, but those are the major ones.
