Evidence that I should have been invited to be a member of the Olympic Committee

The 21-year old and I have been watching the Rhythmic Gymnastics in which female gymnasts perform on the floor with various bits of apparatus including a ribbon a hoop a ball some clubs We think this looks dead easy.  Anyone can mess around and do a few jumps with a hoop.  We'd like to see a little more challenge introduced so want to suggest some alternative types of apparatus and I'm sending a copy of this blog post to the Olympic Committee so they can make the necessary adjustments to the next Olympic programme. a ferret a small child spaghetti a Wellington boot A medium-sized truck all the ministers in the coalition Cabinet

Got to Get a Message to You Okay, okay, there's no sound coming out.  But if I hear one TITTER from any of you, you'll be SKEWERED.

A moment like this Achy Breaky Heart Against all Odds (Take a Look at Me Now) Angel of the Morning At Last Bright eyes Breathe Bury me Deep Inside Your Heart Bye Bye Love Can't You Hear my Heartbeat? Everything I do, I do it For You Forever and always Heaven Must be Missing an Angel I left my Heart in San Francisco I will survive I'll stand by you Killing me softly My heart will go on My Way Nobody Does it Better Out of Reach PS I Love You Perfect Day Poetry in Motion Quit Playing Games with my Heart Save the Best Till Last Someone to Watch Over Me Still Suddenly Take My Breath Away Take the Keys to my Heart The Show Must Go On Unbreak my heart Up Where we Belong Vanishing We've only Jus...
