The Olympic Wanderers

Looking out of the window here, I think that I have to accept that I was wrong. I think that the weather is going to allow the Olympic Wanderers to make it to Shetland by plane after all because it's only a breeze outside just now.

It may not last, of course, but you have to look on the good side, regardless of what you know fine well will be happening. As long as it happens to them and not to the locals, I suppose that it will be alright though.

Very much doubt it will happen to them though. Oh no, they'll run too fast and call it training for the Olympics.

But both you and I would know better, eh ;))

The Olympic torch vs The Shetland prostitute

Believe it or not, I’ve just found out that the Olympic Torch is here in Shetland on Sunday. I don’t know how it’s getting here, it’ll be either by airoplane or, if the weather is poorly, it’ll come by rowing boat. The last stage will be from the Fair Isle so it’s not too much of a paddle if the wind is in the right direction. If they get here in time then the fun can start immediately and there’s plenty of it to be had, or so I understand.

No doubt there will be at least a couple of flocks there and ready for action but I don’t think that there will be anywhere as many as that on a rowing boat so there will certainly be more than enough to go around.

I’ve just had a last thought. By the time they jump back into the boat to paddle off to their next destination they’ll be well knackered!!!

I hope it's a nice, warm, sunny day and that everyone enjoys themselves and that the sheep have been shorn recently.

Another Beeb error

Goodness, the BBC forgot to mention Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland in their article about the Olympic torch going around the U.K before the start somewhere in England. I think that they're hoping to do it around the south end of the U.K.

Don't know what we will call Britain after we attain independence though.

Any suggestions???
