MUCH better.
So, which female bloglit wants to be first to see my one-eyed Olympic mascot?

I would also appreciate a report on "beer"., which I believe in England is called "beer".

Dave, I am so proud of you.
You did an ENTIRE column from ENGLAND and did not even once say SPOTTED DICK.
You are so mature now.
Dave?
Dave?
Somebody better get a Bobby.

Olympic Bangers.
Mandeville...or was it Mandible...anyway, according to the official website, he has a personal best timer on his wrist to track his performance.

Aren't Mandibles used for masticating ? So I've been told.

Kudos to Dave. Imagine going to a foreign country to cover the Olympics while knowing there's a great possibility that it could all be tax deductible. I'm looking forward to your reports.

claps.....er.......applauds Padraig. Dave, watch out if that one-eye winks at you. Also, having you there should off-set the bad images our "official" representatives will establish.

Thank you, Dave. I now feel, with full confidence, that I can speak English.
Certainly better than the English do.

I recall Dave's column from 1990 or so where he visited the UK and treated his readers to such memorable phrases as "spotted dick", "jack's a doughnut" and "popping round to the wickershams." Anyone have a copy?

Dave, don't forget to knock up the Queen while you're over there!
Her cook will make you a spotted dick that could gag a haggis!

Be sure and mention how much you appreciated seeing W. Shakespeare's work appearing on your library shelf.

Do try a bit of cottaging while you are there.

All my friends in London have decided that August is an awesome time to take holiday. In Spain.

Isn't the mascot a spotted dick?
Posted by: Cheesewiz | July 20, 2012 at 08:16 AM
I can totally see Dave getting his picture taken with the mascot.
Posted by: nursecindy | July 20, 2012 at 10:28 AM
I can totally see Dave keeping his wife and Sophie away from the mascot.

Steve (the 24 dude), I thought beer was called "quart" or something like that...
