I finally got my olympics condoms in the post yesterday.

Last night I said to the mrs that I thought I'd wear gold.

She said 'why don't you wear silver and come second for a change?'

Annie Lennox ... I remember her in The Tourists. Not yesterday or the day before.

She should have done Love is a Stranger though.

No sign of Elton John ... I wonder why. He's sold more records (and made better music) than many of these acts put together.

Ah good, Wish You Were Here
