    There’s been a bit of discussion about the Lympics over at the Maison de Porc – and the crappy negative reporting – focusing on who got impossibly beaten.

    But IMHO, the reason that these Lympics lack that certain je ne sais quoi is that Roy and HG missed the qualifiers. No more battered sav / hello boys commentary of the Men’s floor gymnastics.

    Sad, tragic, lamentable etc…

    MJ, I pressed my nose to the window at the aforementioned Maison de Porc and saw that George has uploaded a new portrait – very fetching, if I may say so. The news is most encouraging, yes?

    Zut, yes it is, except for the cost – heading towards a couple of grand at this stage.

    Less kind friends said he looks like he’s planning the next mouse, goldfish or finch hit and if they had a choice of two grand or a cat, they’d be reaching for the burlap bag and a couple of bricks. Sigh.
