Prior to that two weeks the situation in Syria, the middle east in general, pork belly rices in the mid-west, what colour socks Mr President had for breakfast, by-election results from obscure parts of the kingdom and disappearing teenagers, that mysteriously get found in a room only searched twice before by Her Majesty's Finest, all of these occurred (and more) on the news programs.
But during the Limp Pigs, nothing more exciting than people running, jumping, falling down and riding bicycles was happening.
I'm amazed with all that running, jumping etc going on they had time to broadcast the weather.
Thank God we're back to normal, and I can keep up with all the riots, coups, murders, drug busts, assaults, posturing politicians and general rich tapestry of life once more.
It was getting very boring for a while.....
Only the Parrot Limp Pigs to go (sigh) - it's the same thing, repeated, in cheaper venues and with lighter athletes. And the cycling means events cancelled and road closures at Brands Hatch! How dare they...........
Things put in to perfect perspective by Tonymon....
In your opinion, of course? I suppose that, having won the Olympics for the UK in 2005, we shouold have, at the last minute, stopped the whole thing or had a couple of sandwich vans providing the catering, assuming they are healthy sandwiches of course, as all of us are compelled to eat a McDonalds a day. At least.
I had absolutely now problem in catching up with the rest of the news online and on news channels. What I am really pissed off with now is the airtime given back to the overpaid footballers and everything that goes with the thuggish game.
In my opinion, of course.
Schools get the go ahead from Government minsters to sell off School playing fields.
