I know the guy who's putting this on, James his name. He let me try on of his dreamachines once. Can't say it was mind-blowing, but it definitely did something. Not sure if I'll be around to go to the event.

Have you read Mason & Dixon? It sounds interesting although I doubt I'll get round to it, seeing as it's really prohibitively long. I think The Crying of Lot 49 could make an interesting TV special. Gravity's Rainbow could be a Lord of the Rings-style movie trilogy. I don't think they're as...

PT Anderson's new one, The Master, looks the business. As usual. I can't think of many oeuvres that beat the guy's who made: Hard Eight (a little-known classic!); Boogie Nights; Magnolia; There Will Be Blood; and even coaxed a half-decent performance out of Adam Sandler. Even more interesting...

He will definitely win more Slams. He's won over pretty much all of his doubters, including me. Well, I never doubted his physical ability, but I didn't rate his mental capacity or like him as a person. Now you'd have to argue he's got pretty much the full package. I. Am. Now. A. Murray. Fan...

After the Wimbledon final, when Murray started crying, I think Federer decided to let him win the Olympics.

Usain Bolt will get a chance to play for Man Utd, against Real Madrid. Albeit the Real Madrid 'legends' in a charity match. But still, he could make an impact. Although if this video is anything to go by, he doesn't look like much of a footballer:

Oh he can. And only Berdych and Djokovic? Please. On his day, Berdych is deadly, as his slam victories over Federer show (Wimbledon and now US, both quarter-finals). Admittedly, Federer was below par in both those games. Also, Berdych is 4-2 up in head-to-heads with Murray. Plus Djokovic...

What? So you think they're stronger without Van Persie and Song? You're joking, right? I read an article about Rodgers and Swansea last year. They don't even have a training ground. They train at a leisure centre. For a few weeks, they didn't even have a grass pitch so were training on...

Then there's 'gene doping', which is what that 15-year-old fish girl is being accused of. It wouldn't surprise me if a country like China was using genetic modifications to build world-beating athletes.

Apologies if this has been posted already. But it's well funny.

"Soon to be demolished"? That's not been confirmed yet, has it? If West Ham win the bid, they will reduce the capacity but they won't knock it down. If Tottenham win (which they could still do, having been granted judicial review), who knows what the fuck they will do with it. But seeing as Coe...

Following on from Tea's enlightening post relating to athletes' bowel movements: LOL: 'In partnership with Olympic marathon runner Paula Radcliffe, Pampers U.K. will salute the spirit of play in every baby through their "Pampers Little Athlete" campaign.'

I bet even the most hardcore Olympic fans cringe a little when they see showjumpers and dressagers* collecting medals. *I don't know what the collective noun for people who ride the horses in dressage are called. Surely not just 'jockeys'?

A United spokesman said: “As the fastest man on Earth he would undoubtedly add speed to the team.”

I really hope Usain Bolt does get a trial at Man United, as the Sun reports may be happening! http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/olympics/4474946/Usain-Bolt-I-want-a-trial-for-Manchester-United.html I'd be well surprised if this went ahead (both parties have got too much to lose...

Only just noticed this thread. The reason the game has changed, as someone mentioned before, is that Federer came along and made anyone who tried to serve-volley look like a fool. The defining moment, the changing of the guard, was when Federer beat Sampras at Wimbledon. If you know at some...

Who is this taxi driver bloke? Seen quite a lot of him about the internet.

That's one for the Dissensus book club, surely.

Oh yeah. Sizzler steak house. Imagine if she'd taken the calculated risk of reducing her lead, rushed into the Sizzler and discovered they were a) out of bog-roll; or b) the toilets were busy. I agree it's lacivious. But that's what makes it funny. This must have been nominated for a Pulitzer...

I'm surprised a lot of people still think she was having a piss, when in fact she was crapping. I wonder if we'd be taking the, err, piss quite as much/even more if a bloke did it...? Please dig out the article about sportspeople shitting mid-contest.
