I have a sportacious few months ahead of me.

 Now I have Eurosport and BBC TV available to me I have just completed the Tour of Italy cycle race.  I am part way through the French Open Tennis, part way through the Dauphine cycle race from France.  I have the Euro 2012 football starting tomorrow for a month then comes the Stella Artois tennis, followed by Wimbledon, The Tennis Championship, for a couple of weeks then the  Tour de France for three weeks then into the Olympics for a month.  There is also the Formula 1 Grand Prixs and Nascar. Then I have to fill in the odd games of Rugby and Cricket. 

No time for the minor sports like the one country sports of basket ball, ice hockey. baseball and of course American football. 

Not sure about the Eagles and the Crows David but I am told that the Budgies ripped the Canaries apart last week.  That will teach them to sing the wrong tune.

I think I better get into training.

Not sure what ya'll are talking about but in America where the real athletes are;

Finch is tired of beating around the Busch and contemplating getting rid of it.  Johnson is rising up again in prominence.  Jeffie wonders how everything went soft while Jr has seen it a little more solid lately and sees the chance of it rising up.  Although... Biff like being on top.

It just doesn't get any better than that.  ;D

Kinda sucks that LA is there, and not the Montreal Canadiens.  But all the same, the Kings are a much better choice than the Canucks!  Glad to see them out in the first round.

David, I have been in serious training for this coming few months. 

 I have achieved a personal best for the 'viewing marathon'. That is getting comfortable, putting feet up, opening beer without looking away from screen, exiting contents from bottle to throat, conveying at least one burp every five minutes to the outside world, using spoons for food as chopsticks can cause serious injury if used without thought.  That is all capped by shouting in English at the screen if English speakers do good or bad, in Chinese if any Chinese does good or bad or in Spanish if any American takes part (just to make them feel at home).

I hope none of you are missing the Asia Beach Games!!!!  This of course are hosted in China.  Massive start to it last night - cast of thousands.  Complete with a truly remarkable lighting of the Olympic flame.  Something only the Chinese can do.

London has to do some very special to even come close to what I have seen here.

How did you know that Beach Volley Ball was my favourite game? 

China vs Thailand - 45 minutes of pure pleasure.

Of course I am refering to the skill of the players.

No Shaun I never read Playboy.  It was sophisticated rubbish.  Still is.

 I went for the down to earth GB mags.  Slappers monthly, Soho Sexpots and similar non informative Porno publications.  You have to remember that I lived through a generation when genitalia was airbrushed out before any photos were published.   For my teenage years I went through a period when I thought the women in mags were all freaks because seeing nothing was not what I was seeing in real life.

Been a good week Sports wise.

We have a Brit into tomorrows final of the Wimbledon Tennis Championship. The last time was even before I was born as it was 74 years ago.  Plus a Brit has taken the yellow jersey in the Tour de France.  The sports event with the largest number of spectators for any sporting even in the world.  Millions line the streets.   (Looks like they may well be soon removing all of the American Lance Armstrongs winning records from that event.)
