It's called style.  We're British, we can't appreciate it.

(Actually I can, I like it.)

If you find that odd you need to Google ‘Paris 2024 logo Mary J Blige’ and you’ll never see it the same way again.

That’s hilarious, I was half expecting something NSFW I nearly private browsed it.

Anticipating a riot or being called up as wild card reserves for the equestrian events?

Snoop gets horse stoned and Martha gets them thru the munchies.

Phew, avoided the ketamine gags :-D

Who is Martha ?

Philly_Q

Martha Stewart.

Given Snoop Dogg's long list of <ahem> legal woes, I'm not sure why the IOC decided he'd make a suitable face for the Games.  But perhaps I shouldn't be too surprised given they also allowed a convicted child rapist to compete in the beach volleyball.

A slight sidetrack... this article on athletes' diets is quite interesting.  Apparently Usain Bolt lived on nothing but Chicken McNuggets at the Beijing Olympics.

Fucking hell, that grand piano will be ruined.

Shit, is that Celine Dion?

Poor piano. Yes Céline. She has health issues that mean she doesn’t normally sing or perform anymore so amazing really.

Seems that she wasn't singing live.

Philly_Q said:

^^  Oh good, lady-haired British guitarist Fil from Wings of Pegasus to the rescue....

He keeps coming up on my YouTube feed and I don’t really want to feed the algorithm and watch it. But I might…oh it’s nearly 25 minutes long FFS. I’m happy to stay with my thought that Céline just overcame the odds bless her. 

I got bored after 5 minutes and couldn’t be arsed to wade through it all either. Can someone give us a quick precis of what he said? 

My wife watched the Celine Dion documentary and told me about her condition. Bloody amazing she can even stand up, let alone sing.

 That gold final for the men’s archery was an absolute banger. The entire afternoon of archery was a great watch. Sorted it all out in a couple of hours. Preferable to the endless days of swimming

Agree.  The swimming is, for me, akin to watching a guitar neck warp.

Ooh controversy in the clay pigeon shooting, Team GB possibly robbed of gold by poor reffing.

That final was incredible drama.

British girl challenged the decision, shook her head, then smiled, congratulated the winner and celebrated her silver medal. Super stuff.
