Winter Olympics

Each time the Olympics are held I become fascinated by one of the sports. Last Summer Olympics it was the dingy sailing this winter Olympics it's the luge. It's a stupidly dangerous sport, you have to be completely bobbins to do it, in fact how did the competitors start surely no one in their right mind would think, "Ooooh I think I'll give sliding down an ice track at very high on a tea tray a go?"

But I've been hooked when we were in Amsterdam we had access to Dutch, German, Eurosport and BBC coverage of the Olympics so we were able to watch a lot of it. I know how they are supposed to steer but can't imagine being able to move a muscle myself, if I was sliding down the track I would be immobilised by fear.

And it's dangerous the Italian hospitals have been busy dealing with injured competitors.

Bobbins I tell you bobbins.
