I watch it every chance I get. I don't have cable so I just watch it on NBC, the only American channel that has it on t.v.

Phelps is over for this Olympics. :(
How much are you watching?

We get it all on the BBC on live television, via the red button, or online but I don't think you can access that. This fair land has been doing rather well don't you think?

Not personally, no. I don't think cats are allowed to compete but I may be wrong about that. Maybe I'll contact the IOC in time for London.

Great Britain though are actually doing rather well, aren't we? I would imagine that you will be suitably impressed by our cyclists. Am I right?

I have not been able to see many events of biking. I saw a speed bike race yesterday and I do believe a woman from GB was in that event. Then there was that other race, the really long one. GB also did well, although I did not see the finish. But you are right. GB does have some good bikers.
I also saw the womans Marathon. Paula Radcliffe, from GB did not do as well as ppl had hoped. The US's hope, can't think of the name, fell out 'cause of a foot pain. :(
Did you see that?

Your sources are somewhat skewiff dear Box. Do you think that all that pain might have frazzled your brain?

Paula Radcliffe incurred a stress fracture to her leg in the run up to the games but rather than stand down and let another athlete realise their dream the obdurate Paula decided to run when she had absolutely no chance of victory. This coupled with her pathetic attempt in Athens has not endeared her to the British people.

I also have trouble remembering the names of athletes from other countries. Does this reflect badly on me?

Along with this, "In November 2006, the incident was voted top running moment in history in the UK from a choice of ten 'unforgettable moments' "
I guess you don't like here very much?

I think the incident you are referring to involved Miss R. being caught short during a marathon and if so then no, she got good press for that. I mean who hasn't been caught short and needed to unburden oneself into the nearest drain?

Would it surprise you to learn that I have never been caught short while running a marathon?

No surprise at all.
Can you surprise me?

Aye right! A quick search of Australian history - trust me it didn't take long - reveals the startling fact that there is no-one, either living or dead, called Box who has ever ran any more than about 50 yards, and even then that was when they chased a bad boy who stole their conkers.

I once caught a pair of shorts when they fell off the washing line. Does that count?

I've run three Olympic events and three sports. :)

Do you believe me?

Of course, they weren't in the actual Olympics.

Were you tethered to the washing line in such a way that you could only run in circles, or was it the straight line variety?

Advanced washing line technology, such as a whirlygig, has not made it to Scotland yet so that leaves the straight line variety although my memory is very vague seeing as it happened as long ago as last Friday. Not enough omega 3 here you see. Except of course in our fish suppers.

Do they do fish suppers where you are residing at the moment or do they only do disgusting bratwurst suppers?
