Rio - 2016 Olympics

[Mr Fixit]

I will handle it like Sir Winston Churchill

How will you do that?

By sitting back in your pyjamas and dressing gown, with a large whiskey and a cigar, perhaps?

I started off by making a joke about faraway's comment and now I really need to know. Oh dear me.

Please dont keep us in suspense too long faraway.

As for Rio, well all we seem to hear about is the appalling state of the Athletes Village accomodations, with dodgy wiring, water running out of light fittings, and overflowing toilets and sewerage in the streets. Not to mention reporters and camera men being robbed.



This is also the first Olympics since 1984 or 1988 where a mate of mine from school is Not competing in the rowing, so I have less invested in the Games.

The school where I work, named its sports grounds in Port Melbourne for an old boy, Australia's first Olympic Athlete, Edwin Flack who won the 1500 and 800 metres at the 1896 Athens Games.

Im looking forward to Tokyo already.
