In the first week it was Adam Peaty's reason for only finishing 2nd.
Tonight it was US sprinter Noah Lyles. Just minutes after losing in the 200m final it was announced by his team, it's because Noah has Covid.

Earlier on, I was on my way to Waitrose at Greenwich; two people muttered something before we passed each other, I sensed it wasn't at me, but it was at the young woman ahead of me, who had stopped walking, because she looked upset, so I had to ask her what had happened
Apparently, one of them had spatted at her as they passed each other, and this had happened three times already since she came from Vietnam to the UK in January to work
The young woman was smartly dressed for work, she had a pleasant manner, it was very unlikely she would deliberately provoke anyone to spat at her, more likely, she was an easy target for cowards and bullies

It is often said that Hitler was a painter, which brings out all the jokes of him being a painter and decorator, a slap-it-on guy.
The fact is that Hitler was a very talented scenic artist, producing very good paintings indeed and certainly beyond ridicule.

Complaints about the Olympic village
It appears the people running the Olympic village are so obsessed with sustainability that there have been complaints from competitors as to why there is no air conditioning and also the canteen has a majority vegan menu.
Some have booked into hotels so they can eat proper food.

Hi. I have been asked if it’s ok to use expletives in post’s in Anything ! The answer is NO, I am not going to explain why because it’s obvious, Anyone who cannot converse without the use of expletives will have to self-redact their comments ( using * is ok ) I can only delete whole comments if people ignore my instructions, so that’s what will happen and the member may well earn a lengthy suspension for being so naughty.
Please feel free to discuss this amongst yourselves, perhaps take a poll to see what the co-census of opinion is.

Was browsing and came across this statement The last thing I would have mentioned is Ireland.
.Utopia means “non-place” therefore by definition a strict utopia can only be fictional. However, the country which is closest to having established a perfect society is Switzerland; far beyond Denmark which comes second; followed by Ireland.

Olympics brutal qualification. (Edited)
Currently watching the women's 800m heats. Only the winner of each heat automatically qualifies for the semi-final round. That is brutal.
I think there will be a few "fastest losers" to qualify.

Thoughts of a recently released Russian.
Mr Kara-Murza said he wanted "to remind people in democratic countries that Russia and Putin are not the same thing".
"I will absolutely carry on," he told the BBC following the news conference.
"I care about my country - and I think Russia deserves better than a corrupt KGB dictator. I want to make sure that Russia becomes... a normal, modern, democratic country."
