What a joy to luxuriate in the reflected glory of our athletes, and the brilliant London Olympics. Well done to everyone, especially the unpaid volunteers who did everything right, and with a smile too.

 Just off out for dinner, got to get back for the closing ceremony though.

Chapter 22 of "The Saturday Pledge" is nearly done. Many thanks to Patricia who sent me some useful websites. They helped a lot.

The Mother Superior is giving security advice to 3 novices. "Some men have a disgusting secret passion to rape nuns, so if you ever get cornered by this type of man follow my guidelines. Tell the man to drop his trousers" There was a gasp from the novices. "Next, lift your habit up to your waist". Another gasp from the novices. and one blurts out, "Surely we shouldn't do this Mother Superior, it will surely inflame the man even more" The Mother Superior smiles, "My dear, inflame him or not, a man with his trousers around his ankles will never outrun a nun who has her cumbersome habit raised to her waist!"

How do you get a drunk, one armed Irishman down from a tree? Wave to him.
