Having time to myself, I decided to venture to the local pub to watch the game of
professional rugby between the teams of Scarlets and Bath in their endeavour to secure the European Cup.
Talk turned to Bath's Welsh outside-half's chances of selection in the forthcoming Six Nations.
I said he has been marginalised due to his decision to play in the English leagues.
The general look of confusion worn by my fellow sports-enthusiasts was accompanied by the question "What does marginalised mean?"
"It means to be put to the side", I explained. I continued "Do you remember in school when used to have a margin running down the side of your exercise books?
The word marginalised is the verb form of the noun 'margin'."
For the rest of the evening I was no longer included in the discussions about rugby or, in-fact, anything else.
You may even say I was marginalised.

I love irony, which is ironic because I fucking hate everything.
