He's really good... scored the penalty that knocked the UK out the olympics this year... dunno if he's ever punched a dj though. (the only thing I know about Gerrard.) I will miss him, he's cute... and mental in charge of photoshop.

I still don't really respect olympians (except Ki of course), they just disrupt my tv for two weeks. This may change for badminton in a few years time as my wee cousin Joshua is really good at it, got a sports scholarship to a posh secondary school through it. I didn't think this country did sports scholarships.. sounds so American.

Wow your cousin must be really good if he got that  I didn't know sports scholarships existed here either.

I think I'll watch the Paralympics too. The drama The Best of Men about the origins of it was really good.

I'm all sported out I think... although, going to the footie next weekend. Also, the rugby 7s are coming back, need to go watch the Warriors too... (doesn't sound sported out)

Thats lots to keep you busy watching.

Footie, meh  . Maybe it was Ireland's dire performance in the Euros thats put me off... I'll recover. 

Could do without the cost of the celtic - hibs game, but it's a friend's birthday thing (belated) kind of have to.

At least you go to the euros. *nods* remember the last time we got in big tournament? exacly.

Thats true 

Did you see pointless on bbc yesterday or today? I lassie i know from twitter was on it. Xander officially gave her a catchphrase.

Never seen it. Thats groovy you knew her 

You would enjoy it I think, sort of inverted family fortunes. It has Xander Armstrong and the tallest man in the world, Richard Osman.

I like Alexander Armstrong   That Armstrong and Miller show was quite good.

Did you see the one off Springwatch recently on sea birds? I fell alseep half way through it  no reflection on the show I was just pooped. 

Sea birds? I'm leaning towards Martin or Iolo for that? Yeah, didn't see it. Been doing non-tv stuffs.

Falling asleep is good... you must've needed it.

Yes, Martin, Iolo doing outside bits and CP back at the Natural History museum or somesuch, looking at bird skulls. Missed the Michaela bit. 

Sounds a bit like an Autumnwatch precursor.

Oh yay! 'Tis Autumn... Watch is on the way.... bring on the badgercam!

Yay! Thats how I feel too. Autumn ... dark cosy nights, candles, Autumnwatch, Halloween 

There hasn't been a Summer anyway to miss.

Oh b.t.w. For my brother Owen's birthday last week I got him a nestbox + camera [a la Springwatch]. He has a robin and other little birds in his garden so hopefully one will move in.

Autumn i sthe best season by far... plus all my tv is bad... been very lost over the summer, all I had was Secret Dealers and Pointless.

That ios an ace present, hope her gets something good staying.

Thanks, hope so too.

It has 3 different attachable entrances, depending on what type of bird you want to attract. Owen recently got pics of the robin having a bath and also hopping between branches with its chick.

If it nests it'll be ace.

Yay roll on Autumn!

cool. Wish I could have something like that round my back...

Yes me too 

RH is in a new programme tonight. About biggest vehicles in America or something. He'd present anything that lad.

Oh dear... Silly Hamster...

In vaguely related BBC2 news... Next week Neil Oliver and Vikings!

Wahooo I'm so in the mood for that  thanks Hitch
