I was into Smiley Culture but also Midge Ure, so a mixed bag.

Suspect the Rio boo-boys are going to love this one. (That's boo-boys.)

Aye, I mean he must be an engaging enough bloke as otherwise I'd have unfollowed (sorry, "deleted") him a long time ago, what with some of the stuff he comes out with. He does seem to have got angrier (perhaps understandably) and more repetitive (ditto) since his illness though.

As if hipsters make their own lunch.

Van Niekerk, bloody hell

I'm going to stick it out, but that might have to be it for the late nights until next weekend. Tomorrow's got the men's 800 though....

Fantastic.

Although they finally seem to have some actual human beings with emotions in their team nowadays, so that's nice.

Why oh why oh why.... I reckon you can extend that comment to the top 33 times, for maximum scepto-points

Watching the gymnastics on BBC2, literally waiting for the very last set of results to come in which will determine whether the Brit wins gold or not.... "And if you want to see the conclusion to this event, please switch to BBC1 now."
