The Olympics

Well, the Olympics, did it happen?  Was it real?  Two weeks of national glory and then it's gone.  We went to see a couple of hockey matches along with all of the Aussies, Dutch and Belgians.  May I say that the Dutch band is way better than the British band, a bit of Volare by an oompah band, lovely.

It was a bit strange to see such cheerfulness in East London (well any part of London), people being jolly, supporting GB and no snarling.  And even though there was the largest burger restaurant (!) in the world from a company whose name shall not be mentioned here, no litter!  Plenty of Wombles about doing their stuff.




 It's the fashion in East London these days, me and Dizzee, soulmates.



So, it was very good, well done to all.  I thought it was ironic that the Who played Teenage Wasteland at the closing ceremony, the future perchance?
