Reading a comment from some bod from the Equestrian world commenting on GB's silver medal success in the three day eventing competition (well done).

He said that he hoped that this would encourage more people to take up the sport.  :o

I'll go on to fleabay to see what horses are up for sale and change my name to Peregrine and then pop off down to Gatcombe Park to join the club. Sound a jolly wheeze to me.  :dance:

  Yes, I noticed the nice young chap who won the clay shooting gold said much the same thing! He also said he used to be a cricketer, but was'nt very good, so he became a full time shooter.  ???

Having seen that Wiggo chap fly past the end of my road last Wednesday, I've a mind to take up this competitive cycling lark. Trouble is I've lost my cycle clips and I can't get the basket off the front of the bike (my wife's).

I guess I'll have to stick to my Free Running down at the Waitrose car park instead, a much better class of competitor there, in the hope that it will eventually become an Olympic sport. I can straddle two trolleys laid on their side already, the ones standing up are a bit of a problem! ::) :legit:

Got an email alert for my LloydsTBS account. Did one of you nice people open an account for me? ;D

You would think these idiot spammers would at least limit their emails to geographical areas where people might have such an account.
And more, much more than this, I did it my way

Perhaps you opened the account when you were drunk!  :2funny:

That would have to be one heck of a bender, fly round trip to GB and back open an account and not remember any of it.
LloydsTBS doesn't have any branches here that I know of.  ???

I decided to fire up the gas BBQ to burn off the fat from the last time we used it.

Suffice it to say that it was a good job I have a number of fire extinguishers about the house.

It'll take a bit of cleaning now, but it's not too badly melted . .  :uglystupid2:

Do you always eat fatty food? Or do you rely on the BBQ to melt it off, before it is consumed?

Nah, loads more smoke. I just about managed to avoid setting fire to anything else.   8)

Must admit it was a couple of weeks ago when it bemused me, so I stopped to take a picture.

Perhaps some folk hoped the Olympians passing by would slow down (while they had a comfortable viewing) or stop for an impromptu interview  :-\
