          What kind of setup is that?

                it is silly.

                Right now, on my desk there's a bottle of Schweppes' Abbey Well, "official water" of London 2012. See, I hope you've not been drinking that unofficial bootleg water that comes out of taps and the sky.

                  Typical! What do the swiss know about making clocks?

                  As for them being cancelled. If only. The missus will be watching them on TV, morning noon and night and I will probably be blackmailed into actually going. I have managed to avoid attending any sports event since I saw Crystal Palace play Derby in 1963 and I still have nightmares about it.

                    actually if that kind of thing carries on, we could be looking at the first ever sub-1-second 100m sprint.
