I am zeeink ze Germans in ze Feldhockey tonight. Mind, they're playing South Korea so I think I'll stop with the vocal stereotyping.

Haha, decimated the field. Lovely stuff!

Light lunch chez CT:

If you have lunch now, that leaves time for a second lunch later.

Why?

Seems unlikely. You'll be claiming they bounce lasers off mirrors on the moon next.

You gotta speed it up, and then you gotta slow it down - 'cause if you believe that our love can hit the top, you gotta play around. But soon you will find that there comes a time for making your mind up.

The Kid With A Bike Typical Dardenne Bros. fare I suppose, surprisingly light on its feet given the subject matter, beautifully filmed and performed. Short, too, with a particularly brisk ending. I think I liked it.

A sentiment shared by some of the world's greatest thinkers.

There's one opening near-ish here soon. 20 minutes' walk rather than 10 to the nearest Fitness First, but I might be tempted given that it's half the price and it's 24 hours.

Boo, competence!

Who needs Myrtle Avenue when you've got http://www.flightradar24.com ?

Heads up folks, in about 40 minutes there's the prospect of another Eric The Eel. Just look at the fella's qualifying time in the first heat. http://www.london2012.com/swimming/event/men-100m-freestyle/index.html

Oh dear...

I'm at the closing ceremony. Couldn't get opening tickets. Will have the camera ready for all the highlights from the inevitable Coldplay-fest in a couple of weeks' time though.

I'd forgotten about them in my calculations...

I don't know about you but I was absolutely fucked on Friday morning, and that after four pints and a couple of whiskies. Pathetic. Current mood: annoyed at myself for agreeing to help a friend translate his website for way below my going rate. It's turning into a right monster of a project. The lesson to be learned here: never help anybody.

Is she the one from this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tMgmYutL9W0 Wants a good slap if so.

Josateki Naulu. Fijian judoka (that's not easy to say) and thorough attention whore - just look at how he's carrying his accreditation well out of the way.

No longer in the "good on Aidan Burley" camp then?

IF ONLY THERE WERE SOME WAY OF KNOWING IN WHICH PART OF TOWN EL COTO IS LOCATED :panic:

Going all in with £50 on Blessing Okagbare to win a medal in the women's 100m at 12/5. She's in great form and while I don't think she'll win it, it only takes one or two of the Jamaican and US athletes to underperform and she'll be in the mix somewhere.
