It ain't started and it's all ready out stayed its welcome

Well, I don’t know about you, but I’m fed up with the Olympics already and they haven’t run the first drug test, baton-charged the first Tibetan Nationalists or been caught bribing any IOC Officials yet. I say caught deliberately, since the general consensus is that the air pollution is such that any of the long-distance, stamina events particularly should be rethought or cancelled because the athletes are likely to end up with carbon monoxide poisoning and emphysema simply by breathing. Will the IOC do anything about it?

No.

Why..?

Anyway, we have a fortnight of trying to find channels on telly that aren’t broadcasting such important and enthralling sports as formation privet trimming, or extreme tiddlywinks. We’ve already had Wimbledon fortnight and Euro ’08 and tomorrow the football season starts, too. Now I like footie, but really. They haven’t had time to wash the kit used at the end of last season, or sweep out the stadiums, yet and it’s all starting up again.

Whatever happened to the summer break?

Never mind. I have all next week out of the office. I aim to catch up on sleep and reading and maybe we will get out and about a couple of times, too.

Not in work: ‘sall good.

True, but I like to get some use out of my TV licence...
