Ah, the Winter Olympics are over. Finally. That means that BBC programming will revert to its usual monotony instead of the specialist sports monotony that it's been broadcasting morning, noon and night for the past two weeks.
Well done, Canada for both hosting and (I believe) topping the medals table. Well done to anyone else who won anything and commiserations to those who won not a jot.
Next up then, is the rather more important World Cup in the summer, followed by increasing build up to the the slow car crash that is the London Olympics 2012. I shall have to stock up on DVDs for that fortnight (though perversely we may go and see a couple of events since it's my council tax partly paying for the huge cost over runs).
