This is, officially, my first London 2012 Olympics post! Just think, you’ve got four whole years of me vacillating between optimism and pessimism on the subject to look forward to! Doesn’t it make you glad you discovered Gary William Murning Online?
The handover has taken place. The Olympic flag was given to Boris, who waved it about a bit (they didn’t let him speak so we had, unfortunately, no references to the Opium Wars), Leona Lewis sprouted out of the top of a London bus and David Beckham kicked a football.
I just wish I could get excited.
No, it’s really quite clever. You see, it wasn’t Boris at all, but a gaffe-proof, computer-generated animation!

Oooh, my comment went to spam! That’ll teach me to pimp out my own conspiracy theory posts in your comment section!
You mean, all my worrying/hoping was in vain? There was never any chance of him taking someone’s eye out with the tip of the flag or ordering Crispy Aromatic Ya Satay Ji Skewers?
Alas, no. But he might still be run out of the country for the Ping Pong thing.
I’m loving him for that, at the moment. Someone’s linked to my Ping-Pong post on his Wikipedia page and it’s generating a fair few hits for me! Good old Boris!
How very cool to be linked from Wikipedia!
Try not to forget us little folks.
LOL. As if I could!
It is pretty bloody cool, though, isn’t it? That link alone has pulled me in about 80 page hits so far today
