Watched him enthralled as he won the men's 200 metres on the telly last night, which he completed at an average speed of 31mph. Which sounds pretty impressive until you consider that if he hits a child at that speed then there's a 40% chance it will die. I'm surprised that health & safety let him get away with it. It was a very enjoyable race nevertheless. In fact I've enjoyed all the races that I've seen at this year's Olympics. Except the French, obviously. Which reminds me, didn't we do well to win the dressage with that French sounding bird? Not that I get the point of this particular "sport" mind. What's it all about? What will they allow in next? Best laid table for a country supper at an Oxfordshire country retreat? It looks like it's just disco dancin' for horses to me. Although maybe I'm being a bit harsh, as they do say that for some it's the only way out of the slums of Manchester for some kids. Also in Olympic news today is that the Thai ladies rowing team have been disqualified from the coxless pairs final.
You couldn't make it up could you. I spent much of the weekend dozing on the sofa watching telly. Glastonbury was on, although sad to say there was no Snoop Dog, Bone Jovi or any other canine related artists. The big news seemed to be the lack of female headliners and now we know why as one scored a spectacular own goal. She missed her slot cos she was doing her hair. It takes ages she said. Why NOT start doing your hair well before your show time. Aaagh no where's my handbag I've left it in the car, I've got to back to fetch it.
