Golden Attitude.

Michael Phelps won yet another gold medal this morning equalling the record for the most gold medals won, and he is likely to win more.

His talent is indisputable, but it is refreshing to see that he seems o have the personality to match. In his frequent interviews he comes across as both a pleasant individual, and as a gracious competitor.

It's a shame that British loser Blake Aldridge can't follow the example. His petulant outburst a disgrace suggesting that he needs to read his Kipling.

Galloway spouts.

I was unable to watch the Olympic opening ceremony as even NHS admin staff have to do some work, but I was listening to Radio 2 which had some coverage.

Some bright spark decided that it would be a good idea to have George Galloway on offering his opinions and suffice to say he remained true to form.

According to Galloway, the UK will be unable to provide a similar level of spectacle because we aren't centralised and regimented enough. I guess it will be of great comfort to all those (and their families) who have lost their lives and liberties to the oppressive regime.

Who needs freedom of speech or conscience when you can put on a snazzy shindig for for world media.
