Olympics

Being told of the “tremendous support” for the British canoers/kayakers before the start of each run they do.

Watching replays of action from just a few hours ago when it is obvious we didn’t win any medals - if we did it would be the headline story.

Watching Steve Redgrave and John Inverdale whisper as they present the rowing so as to avoid disturbing the Australian broadcaster Channel 7 and NBC who commentate in the pens either side of them.

Oh why? It’s the Olympics.

And the opening ceromony was faked, both the fireworks and the singing.

The best Olympic nation?
