I managed to avoid most the news coverage by switching to a repeat documentary about Thin Lizzy when it all got too much. Whatever happened to a simple parade with all the athletes following their national flag?

I met someone who shares a coke dealer with Boris Johnson today.

haha, it was all a bit shit, I think it's difficult to imagine Britain without using hard hitting social commentary. And that's what makes this place interesting, but that wouldn't really transfer into an Olympic opening ceremony that well, Britain is raw, all the optimism, is replaced with humour and cynicism, which is why I like it.

OK, so I stood in the middle of Kingston bridge for half an hour and eventually the cyclists flashed past. Town was completely traffic free. GB did not do any good and I went down the pub afterwards. Southampton v Ajax plus women's volleyball on the telly. When the football ended the guvnor asked me what I wanted to see, but I had no real interest in any of it. Women's handball came on and to my surprise it was a team game. Handball in Ireland used to be a GAA sport like squash without raquets. Watched Liverpool versus Spurs in Baltimore. Guvnor complained that they sang the 'Star Spangled Banner'. I told him it was played in the US and yanks do that sort of thing. Quite a few in the Baltimore stadium however.

It will be interesting how the lack of bums on seats pans out or develops next week.

Conkers !
