I’m not really into the cricket, but even I have heard about this Ashes thing. Presumably there will be the now-traditional open-topped bus in Trafalgar Square in the next day or two. Could be interesting for whoever is on the 4th plinth at the time. Depending on their outlook they will either feel totally upstaged, [...]

Tennis

I think I would be more likely to watch tennis if the commentators were more like Richard Herring’s twitter feed. His comments on yesterday’s Murray game:
This guy is all over Murray. No wait! What a comeback 30 each!
First to 100 right?
Now they’ve both got 40. Can’t be long now
1 nil. Murray out of Wimbledon. It [...]
The Year Of The Cat
December 31st, 2008 · 6 Comments · Life, Music
It is New Year’s Eve so I am casting my mind back over the past twelve months. If you have a blog it is compulsory. I think its a tradition or an old charter or something. So looking back, the international year of the frog, or 2008 as it is better known, has been an [...]
Lip Up Fatty

According to the Crawley News, the West Sussex PCT is spending £200 million a year extra because of obesity in the county. One particular issue the PCT has identified is childhood obesity, and they have launched a joint initiative with Mid-Sussex council to adress it.
One thing that can help in the fight against obesity is [...]
We Agree

I don’t know who Mike Collis of Worcestershire is, except that heand I agree on something. A while ago I stated an opinion that the Paralympics should be scrapped and the events integrated into the Olympics. Today the Guardian had a letter from Mr. Collis which said:
Anyone Can Play Guitar
September 16th, 2008 · 4 Comments · Music
Every time I pick up my guitar I prove Radiohead wrong. Some people just don’t have a knack for music at all. Unfortunately far too many of them find enough success in another field that they feel tempted to dabble in music too.
There is a long line of actors who think that if a few [...]
Shooting Star
September 12th, 2008 · No Comments · Life
The round-up of the Paralympics on the BBC tonight showed a bit of the shooting competition, where Matt Skelhon won a gold medal. I hadn’t seen coverage of Paralympic or Olympic shooting before – possibly because it is one of the least TV-friendly sports so doesn’t get shown much
The Chinese Way
September 9th, 2008 · 1 Comment · Life
I have been watching a bit of the Beijing Paralympics over the last couple of days, although the coverage is not as extensive as it was for the Olympics. What little I have seen has been so exciting and enjoyable that I think the whole idea of the Paralympic games should be scrapped.
Weather With You
August 21st, 2008 · No Comments · Life
I am, perhaps surprisingly, feeling quite positive about the London Olympics. It is fashionable to don the traditional British cloak of cynicism and assume they will be an unmitigated disaster: the facilities will not be finished in time, and will be crap, there will be organisational chaos, and the opening ceremony will be underwhelming and [...]
Games People Play

Greatly enjoying the Olympics, and slightly resenting having to return to work and miss all the live coverage. What a welcome change it is to be able to look at the results and not be embarrased about the GB performance. The first Olympics I can even vaguely remember was Mexico in 1968 where we got [...]
