Golden Showers?

Sorry but I would at least like the option to urinate at some point but one the "Bourne" films is on ITV1 so I may ramble and roam. Apologises in advance.

Anyway today at the Olympics Britain won lots of medals in rowing, shooting and that weird thing they do where they cycle behind the electric bike for a bit and then suddenly stop rowing or something. Anyway the point was that all of these medals had been timed to push Britain to third in the medal tables just to make you (the British public) feel warm happy and ready to spend your money. It certainly worked on my father but that might just be because he thinks my very minor narcotic use will help him win if it ever were to go crime for crime in a court case. I'm perfectly happy for him to carry on thinking this because well if he's happy I'm happy. Unfortunately he got a bit cocky over dinner and started talking about this Olympic athlete who got disqualified from the 2012 Olympics over a B sample that was taken in 2008. Unable to check whether this actually happened or not I quickly explained the drug testing procedure in the games using Atlanta 1996 as an example. It was around this time that the IOC had no choice then to accept that the fact that Jessica Ennis has been running like it's been waxed was in part the responsibility of Stella McCartney who as TeamGB's official kit designer certainly starts a discussion about the limits of 'home advantage.' So Rebecca Adlington only got a bronze.

However the important thing to remember is that Britain won most of it's medals by beating Australia. Along with the ejection of some spectators from the Velodrome for abusing the parents of one of the Aussie girl cyclists this was an attempt to draw attention to the fact that one of the Aussie male rower people last night won the good lad award for getting drunk out his mind, starting a fight with a kebab shop owner before smashing the windows of a pub/restaurant before explaining to the the police that he'd forgotten his keys and he was just trying to get back into his house. At this point the police arrested him and are still deciding what to do with him even if Australia have fined him in excess of USD1000 and sent him home. This could remind you of any number of rumours about me but it's mainly the rumour about that occasion when a short and angry pub landlord headbutted me but sort of bounced off my chin. So I think I'll repeat what I said at the time; In a democratic country we pay a lot of tax to provide a proper forum for these sorts of disputes to be resolved. They are called courts of law, you may have heard of them.

Speaking of courts the judge in the dangerous dogs trial that reminded me of an associate of mine dropped the "Dangerous Dog in a Public Place" charge after 'the submission of a legal point' led to him ruling that 'the area behind the wall was private property.' What the Judge would like you to think is that he was fast approaching Me V Brighton Police just off north street (2005 ish) and why the "Dangerous Dogs Act (1991)" is still taught in law schools across the UK as an example of how not to write a law. However the reality is he had just read Crown V Finney (1874) and thought better of it. I do not recommend that you read Finney because it's all about an orderly in a Victorian mental institution who might have 'accidentally' boiled an inmate to death in a hot bath. The charges that led to the police raiding under warrant the address of the well heeled gentleman remain and the trial continues. Mark Duggan's mother has been on TV a lot recentely looking for answers and I really don't know what to tell her.


Anyway on that depressing note; 23:50 on 3/8/12.
