I was at the Squash this evening (well, ok, yesterday evening now).

I never really considered Squash to be a sport I'd watch, but I must admit that I really enjoyed it, and would go back without a doubt!!

Tomorrow, the Rugby Sevens!



P.S. I have tickets for the Hockey too!

My daughter persuaded me that we needed some more too!

Wow, that's posh! Our local Waitrose doesn't even have a sports nutrition section.

The women's 78kg plus Judo was good.
And Becky Addlington is looking hot in commentary. As is Claire Balding.

There's a first for Claire Balding - "we were speaking yesterday about your helmet"

Worth reading the comments - "Kathleen Turner gave me my first boner. Thanks Kathleen"

The raising of the flag... (Not another reference to Fran Halsall, though I'm with Marmion on that).

I can't help but notice the flags. The games organisers appear to have purchased the flags which are hoisted at the medal ceremonies from the local petrol station.

Either that or they came free with The Sun. They look appallingly cheap and nasty, and they're all creased.

You'd have thought they could have got the cleaning lady to run the chuffing iron over them...

I've yet to see a single minute of it, though I'll make an exception for the road race. Otherwise it has all the glamour and appeal of a school sports day.

I was watching the table tennis the other day wondering how those at the top of the stand could see the tiny ball? Have those people good at ping pong spent a lot of time in youth clubs or prisons, as it seems they're the only places where ping pong is played?

Caravan parks also have a tendency towards ping pong. And hotels in Turkey - outside ping pong in the wind. (Elton John should write a song about Outside Ping Pong in the Wind)

Just finished watching the netball semi-final NZ v England; excellent game, with the winning score coming with 1 second to go.
