Ah, yes, the Olympics 4
So it's all over now. Quite a show. I was talking to the Welsh National Stone-skimming Champion this morning after church (like you do) and she made out a pretty convincing case for the inclusion of, yes, you guessed correctly - stone-skimming in 2012. She also pointed out what others have noticed. Many of our medals have come from individual or relay events, not from team games. And quite a lot from sports where we can sit down (equestrian, sailing, cycling, canoeing) or even sit down and go backwards (rowing). So it's clear where we should be developing. Let all those ball games go. We invented football; let the world have it! Don't bother playing any more! Get into the sitting down sports; chess, backgammon, tiddly-winks, arm-wrestling. We can clean up, I tell you. Remember, you read it here first.
