ping pong's coming home!

the olympics are over. what am i doing with my evenings now? in my sleepless nights? now that there is no more synchronised diving on tv? team gb got more gold medals than germany. well done. for a fortnight we watched teenagers do glorious, honourable (if sometimes pointless) things. now it's back to stabbing statistics, gangs and hoodies. no sailing away from that, team gb!

i propose new weight classes for all sports at 2012! i want to watch the heavyweight gymnastics, for underprivileged and hitherto discriminated overweight youngsters. i want to see those thighs wobble around reinforced asymmetric bars. after all, who wants to see overbred superspecialised robot athletes like usain b., michael p. or that 12 year old chinese girl. no-one can identify with those.

one line to paula r.: keep running, woman, i can feel your pain, and i'm with you all the way!
