Canny. I got volleyball, hockey and a seat up in the gods for the closing ceremony. For all I'd love to have been at the opening ceremony too, him indoors is away from tomorrow so I shall break open a good bottle of grape juice and enjoy it from the sofa in all my flag-nerd glory.

The torch hits beautiful Lewisham. Torch-bearer's limp wrist expertly captured by the photographer.

OMG JINX (or words to that effect)

Actually right now I've got F/K/S/TS all shoved randomly into one of these: Who needs ORDNING anyway.

Quite clearly correct

Some men can only dream of being able to fit down a well.

Does look really good mind. Made this again tonight - it's worth a repost for being simple yet bloody nice:

No, it's a Paddy Power special, 4/1. Might get better elsewhere but I was too lazy to head to Oddschecker. Aye, and he's obviously a big occasion sprinter. I'd say the 100m is more of an achilles heel for him, hence the extra lay as a bit of insurance. And I'm a massive athletics fan so frankly if he proves me wrong and decimates the field in a ridiculous time then I won't mind losing the cash anyway. Well, much.

Sneaky £25 on Yohan Blake to win both the 100m and 200m at the Olympics (plus a further £25 laying Bolt in the 100m).

Two thumbs up for the Biscuit Factory after a smashing lunch there yesterday. Utterly gorgeous pork belly. (See, Fisty, don't say I never pay you any compliments. The food was canny too)

Some of them are a bit

And, primarily, #3 photograph it as if it's worth sharing. I might submit it to http://ratemypoo.com/

COME ON TIMS!

Can't remember if this has been posted before elsewhere, but it's a heck of a tale: http://www.utsalumni.org/news/how-one-man-escaped-from-a-north-korean-prison-camp-3549/

Someone in WH Smith isn't a fan.

Murderer.

Had never really investigated The The, other than his/their occasional forays into chartland back when I was a TOTP aficionado. Gave "Dusk" a Spotify spin last night and I'll definitely be back for more.

Tom Waits is the daddy. But John Darnielle (Mountain Goats) runs him close.

Worked my way through a duty-free bottle of Jura Diurach's Own (with a friend!) over four nights on holiday. Very, very nice indeed. Easy drinking. http://www.aspiringgentleman.com/scotch/scotch-reviews/isle-of-jura-diurachs-own-16-years/

Aww, that's just brilliant.

I'm a traditionalist. If it's not pear then it's not Kopparberg, no matter how much they try to besmirch the brand with such variants.

The obvious pun machine was obstructed by several days of holiday. Normal service will now be resumed.

If that's what you need to make it taste like pear cider, there's something very wrong in your brewing process somewhere.

No need to be rude, it was an honest question
