I love collecting things, always have done.Without people 'collecting things' our great museums and galleries would be barren. Hurrah for collecting!
But boo for sports. By their very nature pointless, and dull as piss.

Typical scenario is someone goes on holidayand comes back with a twatty plastic toad because they have zero imagination and gives it to mum as a present. Other lazy family members follow suit so mum, with no effort or intention, quickly becomes known as a collector of spacky amphibians. You know she's been indoctrinated when she starts buying them herself.
Some years later someone goes on holiday and there are no slimy hoppers in the gift shop so they buy her a Friesian cow chamber pot and the whole sad thing starts again.
