Adipose and happy to remain so


Like most sensible people I will be staying well away from London during sports week.


It appears that you can't even have your picture taken without some corporate fascist or other imposing their fearful publicity on you, and inflicting you with the company of some self-promoting half wit.


Please do not view this link if you are of a nervous temperament. One poor boy is reduced to tears by the ordeal. I was bereft. Something should be done.

I have never been interested in sports but in recent years have had the televised spectacle of people running, jumping and generally hurting themselves THRUST upon me! And you know what? It makes me blub like a baby! Whenever anyone wins/loses/gets emotional about competing/not competing it's like Lassie Come Home for me. And you've just started me off again!

Oh pull yourself together!
We don't tolerate blubbing here.

Dave said...

I stay well away from London at all times.

Teresa Evangeline said...

You are so darn funny. I couldn't decide whether to laugh or cry so I'm doing a bit of both. Nothing like shameless self-promotion to get folks all in a dither.

Vicus Scurra said...

Dave. We all know about that restraining order, and why princess Michael of Kent never ventures 5 miles away from Knightsbridge.
Teresa, welcome to this shiny corner of the internet, as you can see from my previous comment, we are not at home to Mrs Emotional, but you are a new girl I will allow some latitude.

Zig said...

I can't wait, so I'm not going to, I'm going to do something else instead.

Vicus Scurra said...

Zig. There are horses at the Olympics you know. Some of them in events, others in McDonald's burgers. Sue me.

broken biro said...

Hey! I want some lattitude too! (extra frothy!)

And what's all this about Dave and Princess Michael of Kent?

Discretion is the better part of libel, BB.

Don't lie, I know you're entering the three-legged egg & spoon race.

Vicus Scurra said...

Rol! Does the three-legged egg become a three legged chicken?

Vicus, you just wanted an excuse to post that video. I suspect you may be a sheep in wolf's clothing after all.

Zig said...

Haven't seen any horses yet, where are they?

Liz said...

Vicus, I hate to tell you this, but it is sports fortnight, not sports week. I quite like it myself but I could do without some of the hype.

I see you have been spammed by same tosser who has visited me. It is a pity McDonald's don't put him in a burger.

Vicus Scurra said...

Liz, yes, no problem with the sports, shame it is being used for such blatant propaganda.
I have deleted the spam to which Liz referred - just in case any of you thought she was talking about you.

Indigo Roth said...

Vicus, I enjoy the sports too. I shall say no more. Indigo

Vicus Scurra said...

Indigo, I trust that your silence is but temporary.

In this case I have little sympathy for your vitriol. Beckham goes home to AMERICA once he's done with his totally unscripted photobombing session. Thanks, UK. *pouts*

Has he insinuated himself into your closet, FN?

Holy cow, VS, that brought tears to my eyes and a big grin to my lips.
