STOP PRESS:
Team GB diver Jack Laugher is getting very excited indeed about the games to come, it seems!
Well, his tailor wont need to discreetly ask him which side...
ReplyDeleteBloody Olympics! Send the whole she-bang back to Greece. And that chap would be disqualified for not being naked!
If only young people these days were able to comprehend what a tailor did, or how to wear such clothing. However, Mr Laugher's extremely easy on the eye, so I forgive him!
DeleteI know what you mean about hyped-up sporting events like the Olympics dominating the airwaves, but when it was here in London in 2012, even a non-sporting-type like me got into all the hoo-ha and medal-winning... Jx
I wonder how much cock Tom Daley and Jack Laugher will consume during the Olympics? And yes Jack does seem to filling out that Speedo...not to mention seems to be growing too.
ReplyDeleteMaybe I should quick book a redeye flight to Paris?
With all that rhythmic gymnastics, handball, coxed pairs, wrestling, frontstroke, backstroke, and of course shooting going on, I imagine it's a feast for the senses, dear! "Gay Paree"? Yes, sir! Jx
DeleteLove the song, can’t tolerate the liquor — ever since sharing a fifth with a friend’s girlfriend when I was 20. I still haven’t recovered. Do you supposed Jack Laugher will be in trouble for that clip? (Not THAT kind of trouble.)
ReplyDeleteTequila to me smells like that liquid that used to be used to treat ingrowing toenails. Vile. I cannot imagine why it's popular.
DeleteAs for Mr Munro, who cares? Just sit back and watch that thing wobble. On repeat. For hours. Like I do. 😍

*Stares at Jack's jump*
DeleteDid you say something dear?
Somebody pass Maddie the tissues! Jx
DeleteLove both tracks. love Tequila and love the jumping gif
ReplyDeleteTwo very different tracks with the same name, more than half a century apart, and both superb. It's a miracle...
DeleteThought you might appreciate "Jumping Jack". Shame he didn't "flash"! Jx
