Just picked up on this thread.
I can't credit that an 'adult' would go to such lengths to pretend they were Russian. Boy was he plausible and decidedly weird, with serious anger-management issues.
Incidentally, was it Vladpie, or The Man From Mexico, who hoped you would be caught and gutted for your political opinions?
P.S. A disclaimer: I'm not Russian and I don't live in Russia.

As I recall, it was the Mexican goat herder who wanted BFP gutted, but it was definitely the faux Russian who wanted to break my jaw. He always threatened to sort me out when he was back home, and accused me of hiding behind a keyboard, so I sent him my name and ST seat number and invited him to say hello. It seems a bit weird that he never took up that invitation if he lived local!
I wouldn't worry. Keeping fit and playing sport is an advisable pastime and health benefit, and if you're exceptionally good it could become an occupation, but it isn't a credible school subject worthy of a grade. English, maths and science are the stuff that open up opportunities.
