Well I've been enjoying the Olympic coverage and very proud to be British right now. I'm not someone who watches much sport normally but the range of events being televised means I'm never bored. It's a shame the BBC keeps switching from channel to channel but it's the commentators that are really getting on my nerves. It's like they've been told not to leave any gaps and they witter on randomly; contradicting themselves as they go because they don't listen to what they are saying themselves. The golf and tennis yesterday were particularly bad. I reckon some of them have taken a college course in 'Talking Bollocks' and passed with flying colours.

It's not all bad though and the innuendos during yesterday's men's pommel horse finals has given me ideas for scenes in future novels. It was terrible to hear that one of the guys was having trouble getting up while another couldn't close his legs, which affected his dismount. Mind you I was a bit worried when the commentator said they were going to show us what our gold medal winner had done on the floor earlier! We all get nervous but that doesn't mean we want to see it!
