This is me...

• Except I'm not quite so good-looking obviously but...
• I am British like the fella above (tick)
• I am also hugely indifferent to the bleepin' Olympics (tick)

Put it like this - a coupla chicks who like little boats did fast boating and a bloke who likes bikes is going to ride very fast round London or somewhere and may ride a bit faster than some other geezers. In addition some women who balance on things and jumping about a bit did balancing and jumping about. WHY am I not ecstatic about this unlike (allegedly) the rest of the 59, 999, 999 citizens of these isles? WHY?

It must be wonderful to be so outstandingly good at something even if it isn't especially useful or creative but . . .well done to them for training really hard and all that but . . . has it not all got a bit out of hand? What with the cheating (badminton), the weeping (fencing), the taunting (twitter), the ludicrous amounts of money wasted spent on the whole enterprise?

The Olympics leave me cold these days. I can rouse the odd spark of enthusiasm and interest (though it hasn't happened yet) for some events - usually if an underdog excels (SO British) - but it really leaves me distinctly underwhelmed.

What about YOU?
