I'm feeling very olympic today....
I know it's all over, but as I've only just started this blog I'm playing 'catch up' a bit...
Marvellous stuff was the Olympics and the Paralympics. Made you proud to be a Brit and, these days, it takes something special to make you feel that way.
The 'Mo-bot' just might start to make a difference over here in Blighty.
So many muslims, particularly of Somalian/African origin with, clearly, no intention whatsoever of adapting to their adopted country. Mo Farrah should be an example to them all. Well?....You can live in hope I suppose....breath holding is not to be advised....
Now it's all over so back to the drudgery of everyday life for most of us.
Mind you, the pride we felt and feel in our athletes, able bodied and disabled, will be around for ever.
Personally, I'll never look at a disabled person in the same way as I did again. Not in a bad way before but, perhaps, inadvertently patronising? Talking over a wheelchair user? That sort of thing. Not intentionally rude but thoughtless.
I wonder whether Blighty really can build on what was achieved here?
