Now, I am the Queen of Foot-in-Mouth - something goes in my head the same moment it comes out of my mouth. So it is with a sense of vindication that I present the Top 3 Olympic Commentator Slips…
3. [Seven Commentator - Swimming] ”... Hackett has pulled away in the last 50 minutes.” (metres anyone?)
2. [Seven Commentator - Volleyball] ”...and a great spike from Pothead… erm, Pottharst.” (Beach volleyball)
1. [Olympic Announcer - Diving] ”...and the gold medal, representing Australia….... Loudy Tourky!” (except Loudy had won diving bronze, Chantelle Newberry the gold)
[Seven Commentator] ”...it doesn’t matter, she knows who she is.”

... to (attempt to) capture the chinese spirit…
Will no doubt get around to one day sifting through my thousands of photos from Japan, to do something similar.

For readers in Japan: If you’ve ever wanted to see Shingo-kun go head to head with a big fella wrapped in a nappy, then DO NOT miss Mecha Ike this Saturday night.
Nicole asked me if I ever missed Japan and here are two reasons why the answer is a resounding SHIT YEAH: Shingo and Sumo.
(oh, and very happy that 35degrees got a mention on the SMAP Freebird Forum). We have now officially made it.

Right. To counter the mournful recollections of the previous thread (already a tonne of toons for me to go and pilfer from Kazaa - thanks!), let’s go with the “Love” song that affects you the most. Any Celine Dion or Mariah Carey gets automatically deleted. Wakatta?
Mine would be “Gorecki” by Lamb;
“If I should die this very moment
I wouldn’t fear
For I’ve never known completeness
Like being here
Wrapped in the warmth of you
Loving every breath of you
Still my heart this moment
Or it might burst
Could we stay right here
Until the end of time
‘Til the earth stops turning
Wanna love you ‘til the seas run dry
I’ve found the one I’ve waited for”
Just beautiful…
...and two songs hellishly high on soppy-factor: “Never Saw Blue Like That” by Shawn Colvin and “I Love You” by Sarah McLachlan. Can’t sing any of them without making myself cry (or others by having to listen to me sing).
Over to you guys.
