Let the bombardment begin!
Jul. 16th, 2012 03:57 pmI am talking, of course, of the London Olympics Information Overload (although other types of bombardment are not out of the question, as missiles are being deployed in 6 locations around London, including on top of a tower block: the residents lost the case. So much for an Englishman's home being his castle).
Now that the teams have started to arrive the coverage is going to be relentless! Just like the adverts of the official sponsors on TV.
Even my gym has joined in. The entrance has had a bit of a facelift - the signs saying "The world's first YMCA" have been revamped and an Olympic Wall of Fame installed in the hall to highlight links between the YMCA and some former competitors (don't ask me for the details as I didn't read).
The training for the category I'm competing in (biscuit scoffing) is going very well: today I managed one packet (minus one biscuit, because I'm not greedy) of jammie dodgers.
So far, the only advantage of the Olympics (apart from having an excuse for biscuit-scoffing) is that we'll have a special episode of "Absolutely Fabulous" next Monday! Yay!
