Emily SBH (who also has taken up the long hair) is second in her dog sh!t collection heat and looks forward to a strong performance in the finals but aced the get up a twelve thirty and demand jeans that neither parent had seen for two weeks event. And what even is equestrian?
Channel Nine’s Olympic coverage stinks. Why does it stink? Such is the amount of replays of replays of replays of pool events, I wish I’d never learned to swim.
So limited was the coverage of the equestrian events-unless one is a royal toady and gushes over shots of that dysfunctional family-that I almost wish I’d never thrown a leg over a horse.
The one sensational performance by a lady-NOTICE I DID NOT SAY GIRL-single scull event, where she won her heat in such effortless style and with so professional approach she made all the other contenders look like bloody amateurs.
Channel Nine, when questioned about their underwhelming Olympic coverage has tried to explain that in spite of spending AUD270 million bucks for their pitiful coverage they had to ‘accept any old package the Brits were prepared to hand out.’ Are Nine’s directors usually inclined to accept, sight unseen, any old shonky package the Brits hand out?
It all makes me wish I regularly watched Channel Nine, just so I could decide ‘never to watch them again’ solely on their wretched, dare I say it, completely un-Olympian efforts?
