There was endless action - not just football but sailboats tennis and other things: movement. There was endless talk - the ambassador at the head of the table laying out the prevailing wisdom but everyone else weighing in with their opinions and taking part.

Tennis is a perfect combination of violent action taking place in an atmosphere of total tranquillity.
