Blogathon: 18/18

I really need to be better organised and get on top of these earlier in the day.

Anyway.

In which I don’t mention being on the edge of impending plaguedeath once!

I’m watching the Winter Olympics roundup and I thought the commentator said ‘There’s a sport for everyone in the Winter Olympics’.

Well I pulled up the full schedule and can’t see ‘Pooing the Whole World out of your Bumole and Through the Eye of a Needle’, so I probably misheard.

Apparently there’s also an event called ‘The Men’s Aerials’. As someone who has been on various rooves here and there, and attached TV and Radio antennae, I’m just downloading the entry requirements for this one.

But to be serious for a moment, I am very impressed with the athletecism of every Olympic competitor. They are all worthy warriors.

To make life in this house even more interesting, I have contracted a cold. Fantastic. However I have had one meal today (Sam’s very tasty stew & dumplings). We await what my bottom has to say about this with great interest. Also tomorrow morning’s weigh-in will be keenly watched.

Now that the TV series is no longer confined to the Network of Shame (aka Sky), we have started watching *whispers* Game of Thrones. A bit late to the party, I know, but I will not put any money in the Dirty Digger’s pocket.

It’s a bit of a beast, this GoT. I have my heroes, I have my villains, but I’m not sure if my lists would correspond with those of viewers who are bang up to date.

There’s a lot of swears. And quite a bit of shagging about. And a lot of breasts. And a touch of incest. And a hint of lesbianism. I’m cool with all of those things because, you know, I was born in the Welsh valleys (hahahahahaaaa, joking!). There’s also a lot of blood. Limbs, heads, things like that. We have just finished E3, but we’ll stick with it to the end of the season before making big decisions.

We have also started watching The Detectorists. Also early days, but no shagging about, no breasts, and no incest or lesbianism. I’m impressed with the lack of these things, given that the programme is set in Essex.
