So highlights of the last 2
weeks, of course the opening ceremony was amazing (especially Bond and his new
Bond Girl) and with the closing ceremony it was slow to start off with but
picked up from Fatboy Slim onwards and Take That was worth staying awake for,
The Who? I’m not so sure, wheeling out the oldies is not always a good idea,
for example croaky McCarthy.
But what about the sporting
best bits? Yes all Team GB’s medals, Bolt and Blake, my personal favorite the
French men’s Handball Team (Bonjour Boys) and I don't know what my neighbours thought of the screams though the wall during Mo Farah’s races. Also
the Men’s triathlon, Mexico v Japan in the men’s football semi final and
Germany v South Korea in the women’s Hockey play offs. Why? Because I WAS THERE!
Best Days Ever!
I blame BBC Breakfast for
making me late for work most mornings. Olympics news is far more interesting
than listening to local radio. It was the first week of the Home Olympic Games
and the local DJ talks about Birmingham bin collections! But a big thank you to
the BBC, your website got me though the hard times of having to do some work
instead of watching the TV, as for some of your presenters:
Jake Humphreys and Mark Cavendish: A cool double act.
Sue Barker and Mark Baker:
Alright, a bit boring in my option but they knew their stuff.
Gabby Logan: Don’t know if
I stayed up late it was to watch Men Beach Volleyball on the red button.
Gary Lineker: Sick as a
parrot performance, surely he knew that the Olympics involves other sports…not
just Football.
Claire Balding: Legend,
not only is she the inventor of the ‘Mo-Bot’ but her ability to fill in time
with enthusiasm and actual facts. She knew everything
from Olympic history, different rules and even the names of the park flowers
unlike other presenters depending on auto-cue.
And as for this year’s Sports Personality they is only one clear winner…US! The fans without our screaming and shouting (and cash), how many medals would Team GB actually would of won.
Now it’s back to morning local radio (I so need my own place) and the state of Birmingham’s bins… At least it’s only a few weeks until the Paralympics. I bet BBC, ITV and Sky are kicking themselves as I think the 'Paras' will be a massive success. Don’t screw it up Channel 4!
