--Forced to watch quite a lot of the Olympics at my sisters as my brother in law has a rather complicated tv system using a set top box and several handsets which control it and only he knows the mysteries of its workings! so the bbc olympic channel? was on almost all the time excepts when we were watching his dodgy dvd's- pirated copies of recnt flim s like "Who's Got My Balls?" with Nifty Turner, Garfield the Amazing Dull cat with Wifty Trumbills, Perogative Explosive Whelk with Tufty Horncrout and Speadman Nine with Gritty Hunkbole and Nifty Turner again. that Nifty turner gets in all the films just lately. Most seemed to be filmed from the first row of the stalls so the ends were missing or fuzzy and shadows of patrons kept creeping over the screen as they went for a pee or an icecream etc.
We seem to be doing just as well as itlay in the medal stakes. having just won another bronze for pie lifting.
