Am I in a very small minority, when I don't give a stuff about the progress of the Olympic Flame, of the games themselves?
I really don't. I think they are a bad idea, best held somewhere else, if at all.
@McTag,
I think it's the scot in us, muckty...
I'm glad y'all have it this time. now we can mostly ignore then hoopla.
Today our son is playing the lead in a production of "The Year of the Sex Olympics" as part of the Manchester Arts Festival.
We'll see it this evening.

So, fingers crossed, break a leg.
Hey on the news this morning, in southern Japan, reports that 31 inches of rain fell in 72 hours.
Holy crap.
Many people drowned.

Wasn't that an old Play for Today with Leonard Rossiter? Is there an element of Big Brother in it, (The TV show)?
@izzythepush,
That's the one.
I misinformationed you there, it's part of the Manchester Fringe Festival. Small venue.
@McTag,
I saw it a couple of years back. Although this world is not quite as dystopian as the one depicted in the play, they were spot on in predicting reality TV.
@izzythepush,
I wonder if would have been quite so well remembered if it didn't have 'sex' in the title? I bet some people were really disappointed when they tuned in.
@izzythepush,
Awesome Izzy. What a great thing for them to be able to see. I love the Olympics. Competition is always a good thing. It's how you compete that shows what you are made of. And I'm not talking about winning or losing.
Love the pics of you all in Chicago. Makes me wish I would have been able to come up!
@mismi,
My little boy has been quite into it ever since he met someone in one of the mascot's costumes when he was on a school sports day. We were lucky to stand at a point, quite by chance, where the torch was passed over.
The Subliminal Kid takes far better photographs than yours truly.
@izzythepush,
That is quite the good shot Izzy!
My photo capabilities are all due to luck and editing.
@mismi,
The only thing I manage to take good photos of is my thumb.
@izzythepush,
Cracked me up. You should have a showing of all of your thumb photos. I am sure we could find a gallery somewhere.
What would be a good name for it? Thumbs Up? Too obvious....
Oh some interesting shots I see!! Fab photos!
Well has been another busy weekend! Had Sboy here and him and Fboy went Laser shooting yesterday, had a fab. day! But they were very tired in the evening and aching today! Today was Fboy's 15th birthday, we have had cake and drink and loads of fun! I bought him Dr Dre Beats headphones, which I have been saving up for and he loved them! He also had xbox points and the lase shooting from Izzie and Sboy, my daughter got him The Hobbit book and a photo of Aragorn, apart from some money from my family! Can not believe my baby boy is so grown up! As Sgirl said "Hey Mum, he can have sex legally next year!" I nearly choked!!!!
Hope all is well with you and yours XXX
@izzythepush,
Good shot by the Subliminal Kid. Say hey from the gang here eh.
@annis,
Don't worry, there'll still be plenty of illegal stuff he can get up to.
@JPB,
I told queen dev that she ought to get out of the mitten more often.
Who was the lady in the foreground with dark hair?
@izzythepush,
Ha! Thanks for that!!! So we are chilling tonight soooo tired!
