why

so why am i doing this ?
who knows.
i know for a fact i live a dull and uninteresting life that would bore to tears most sane and normal people. so perhaps this is a form of revenge on those of you who have interesting lives.

the olympics are on at the moment and probably for the first time in a looooong while i am not interested. its not because i know that the coverage is going to centre on the fact that the great british team are not going to win medals (we never do and besides the point is to take part...) its because its on during normal hours, which means the majority of it takes place while i am at work.
there is something special about staying up late at night to watch sir steve redgrave win his 5th gold, there is nothing interesting in it during the day.
and that reason alone is enough not to want the olympics coming to london. there are other reasons why i don't want them coming to london, but that one will do for now.

gotta feel sorry for the phelps guy, by expecting him to win 8 golds anything less than that and he's a failure. but just by being one of the best at what he does he should be receiving the plaudits of most of us.
mind you don't feel that sorry for the USA dream team - was good to see they lost to puerto rico (this is not a political statement (there will be plenty of those to come at some point) just i don't feel the olympics are a place for highly paid sports stars to be at).

right end of my first real post.
and i still haven't answered the question of why?
i can tell you the answer isn't 42.
