This is how we spent Sunday, in the bullring at Tarragona, near Barcelona, with 7000 lunatics building towers out of people. I am very sore today. Naturally, getting 80-90kg people trudging over your collarbone or head was never going to hurt, right? This particular tower assembled by our team, Vilafranca, had never been built and deconstructed in competition before.
If none of this makes any...

…Garry ‘Whiskas’ Hocking took the field. Allright, so the first bit is bullshit - I have no idea how long ago it was, although I must be somewhere near it.
Buddha’s tie-in with the cat food company may have been a master-stroke of marketing and anointed him a genius ahead of his time…although watching any interview footage of him would suggest otherwise.
Anyway,...

"Come ON"!!
Watching Lley-Lley playing at the Olympics. Amusing how different it is from Wimbledon. Crappy camera angles, ball boys and girls who look they were only told what to do at the beginning of the match.
Irishism of the day
Wandering along in Co. Down. ‘So, whereya from?’ says rotund Oirish ma’am. ‘New Zealand,’ replies mother-in-law. ‘OOOH,’ she says, excitedly, ‘oive got a cousin down there. Don’t ask me where he is. South Africa, oi think.’

Spam can improve your hearing
I got a very informative email today from someone I didn’t even know. Must be one of those good samaritan types. Anyway, it told me all about creams to increase the size of my member. Unfortunately, I misread it at first and thought it helped you to ‘remember’. Rubbed some behind my ears and now I look like Mickey Mouse. Can hear a pin drop in Swindon. For all the good it’s...

British Government declares worst drought since...
Institutes a ‘hosepipe ban’ whereby any Doris caught watering their daffies loses a finger. If Brian is washing the car, it could be a testicle.
Result: it hasn’t stopped raining, pouring, sleeting, drizzling, teeming, showering ever since. Domestic pets falling from the sky.
Maybe we need to patch in the Middle-East about this lark. If they banned hand-watering, Saudi might...

Since the 'hose-pipe ban' in the UK
it has done nothing put p1ss with rain and hail. God knows what would happen if I opened the lid on the barbecue. Probably a blizzard.

Really hoping that it is the launch of a new motoring show. Not that ritual of giving up all the good things in life in favour of the ‘good for you’ things in life.
Pass the disinfectant please.

Miscreant...there, I've said it. #wordoftheday
One of my favourite wordy things. Means a badly-behaved person or someone who breaks the law.
Bucolic is right up there. The pleasantness of country life. One thinks of rambling in the spring in England. Ahhhhh.
My top of the pops? Hippopotomonstrosesquipedalophobia. The fear of long words. :o)

How do you know when the holiday is over?
When the backyard cricket bat that was fashioned from a stick was used to set the fire.

Time in Australia 4.09am
Most households have annoying children bright awake and about to share the joy with hungover parents. Hahahahahahaha.
Time in the UK 5.11pm. About to pull on my duds and totter off to a Christmas Eve drinks party.
The balance is just right.
