Blog Note: If you can't be bothered or don't have time to read the post at least look at the video - I promise you - it's worth it!!!

Tantrums, drugs and prima donnas - no, not footballers or actors but Olympic athletes.
What drama, what pride - these Olympics have been so impressive, but, at what cost? Couch potato or smashed potato who couldn't be impressed with our Olympic success. Should we all be looking to 2012 with excitement and the prospect of an even bigger medal haul, Or, will we be disappointed?

With at least 44 medals won so far - including 18 gold - this makes these games our most successful Olympics since London in 1908, when we topped the medals table for the first (and last) time with a haul of 56 golds. Contrast this with our 36th ranking in the medals table at in Atlanta in 1996 (one gold) and we certainly seem to be to on the up. Those who remember Atlanta will remember thet it was a huge downpoint in British sporting history, a dent to our national pride and possibly our whole psyche.
It's a fact that many of our successful athletes are full time professionals yet they still rely heavily on lottery funding. Adolescent diving sensation Tom Daly who was just out of the medals yet finished seventh in his final (a wonderful achievement) is rightly pleased that his positioning now places him on a 'B' tier funding meaning - more money in order for him to receive the best coaching and back-up leading up to the London Olympics. But, what is the price of all this success? And, will we be able to afford to emulate these performances when London plays host to the games in four years time?

These dazzling performances haven't come cheap. Apart from the sheer devotion and skill of our athletes over many years, money is also key - in this case, £190m of it. This works out at well over £10m per Team GB gold, and almost £5m per medal. Worth it?
Well, just look at this video and judge for yourselves. I know some people are quite cynical about sport (The Olympics) and the money that's spent but our history and sporting traditions have moulded who we are as a country. Possibly it's nice to feel that we can be associated with sport instead of being known as a country who oppresses its people (women) and fanatically wants to blow other people up because they don't harbour their beliefs!
Anyway, the vid explains in simple pictures why attention to detail (money) needs to be made avaliable to our athletes. It may have been 4 years ago but after watching it just stop, and, as I've said, judge for yourself!

New England........Rugby Shirt

If you've got it you may aswell display some shameless patriotism!!!

This is getting unbelievably desperate. Reknown 'Legal Advicers' Hogarth Chambers of London have taken to employing semi-literate employees. On first reading I thought they may have enlisted a scamming Nigerian bas*ard to try extract all my personal details and steal my identity. But, on closer inspection I notice they have enlisted a Julia Clark (did she even pass GCSE English?)in order to bestow me with $8000 million. Gosh, at first I thought eight thousand million dollars sounds rather a lot, but then realised it's only about £4000 million. Yes, that's right, with the dollar so weak against the pound four thousand million pounds only works out around half as much! Unlucky 'you' you say.Yes unlucky me - boo hoo

So, what do you think?

Just noticed this news story on the Beeb which reminded me of The Monty Python 'Life of Brian' film. This poor woman has been charged for insulting the name of 'the prophet' by naming a teddy 'Muhammad.' Wonder if they'd allow a Teddy Boy to change his name (by deed poll) to Muhammad? And, I'm not even going to mention any Teddy Sheringham possibilities.

FUNNY?

These never fail to amuse me. I'm getting so many of them now - Bill Gates and Branson should watch out.Where would my inbox be without them? They brighten up the most darkest of days!

NOT SO FUNNY

This should never have been allowed to happen. From someone who's had their card cloned and bank account plundered of over £1000 by some tosspot crooks in Bulgaria (I've never been to Bulgaria in my life) I can tell you it's not very nice.It's bound to have serious repercussions.If you have kids and don't know what I'm talking about read here. If you don't have kids then the best advice I can give you is to move on quietly and find an interesting blog!

Man marries bitch to beat curse

The "bride" wore a sari and a garland.

An Indian man has married a female dog, believing the union will help him atone for stoning two other dogs to death.
P Selvakumar, 33, said he had been cursed since the killings, suffering paralysis and a loss of hearing.

The wedding took place at a Hindu temple in Tamil Nadu state. The "bride" wore an orange sari with a flower garland and was fed a bun to celebrate.

Well, at least he knew she was a bitch before he married her! Suppose looks aren't always that important to some people. But is it just me who thinks she's a bit of a dog?

Another bizarre story is but at your fingertips here
Donkey wedding staged to bring rain

Doubtless we're all geared up for this Friday's Children In Need extravaganza but I've just received an email from ebay in my inbox regarding some interesting auctions.

I expect half the country have received the email too! Go to ebay and just type in Children in Need and loads of stuff relevant comes up. Ebay aren't always reknown for giving away stuff but any money/profit raised through these auctions will go directly to Children In Need.As we say in Wales - Good Value!

You can link directly to ebay here

If you've read some of my other posts you'll know that I've recently been receiving some dodgy stuff where people, unknown to me, want to give me millions of pounds for just being lovely me (little do they know the real me is just as lovely as the one they think I am). Anyway, just received this in my email. Maybe worth a punt. Nothing ventured nothing gained yada, yada, yada and all that!

I think I may just have a little try of this. Who knows?

I dunno, these arse-wipes are getting more and more desperate....and hilarious. Not content with raking up some dead german guy who never existed in the first place in order to give me millions they've now resorted to giving me millions via the catholic church. And therein lays their folly - the catholic church will never, ever give away money - they only collect and stockpile it for a rainy Pope!Don't, get me wrong I'm definitely not anti-catholic but have recently been reading the cracking 'God Delusion' by Richard Dawkins. Anyway, peruse below if you want. You may also notice that the 'rev' has left his yahoo mail address. If you think you may wish to accept the money on my behalf then please feel free to masquerade as me, though, I don't fancy you wearing my trousers or my tie as they're a tiny bit tight at the moment, sorry.

A word of warning, you could spend a fair amount of time on this one.

Apologies for having to modify your comment in the previous post ParsleySage buddy but it was hijacked by some weird spam type stuff.

If you're all wondering what it was all about it contained stuff on viagra etc. I don't think I need viagra just yet, at least not when I last looked!
Anyway, going back to the previous post when I was talking about PageViews/visitors. Funny thing happened after I posted my Pageview/visitors rose dramatically. See below for updated version:

Date Total Pageviews Total Visitors
10/23/07 363 276
10/22/07 461 323
10/21/07 288 188

I think perhaps I'm on the receiving end of some kind of Pageview/ visitor SPAM!
