News! Competition update!

COMP UPDATE
To the guess-how-much-Olympic-food-costs comp first (see below for entry details). Vix has made a guess of 42, because she won the first competition and doesn't want to win the second one. While Diegem has written to point out he's not a she (sorry) and ask why Robin doesn't get food in our competition. Duh. Because he's a bird. He eats seeds, worms and berries. And they don't sell those at Olympic concessions. Keep the entries coming...

KARLO FROM MEXICO - OUR FIRST MEXICAN READER
Hello and welcome to Karlo who tells us to look out for Mexican runner Ana Guevara. (Think of your own Speedy Gonzalez jokes readers, why should I do all the work?)

CALLS CONTINUE FOR BEACH VOLLEY DANCING BABES PIC
We're off to the beach volley again in a few days. I'll see what I can do. Until then, take cold showers.

DENNIS QUESTIONS BRITS' LOVE OF BASKETBALL
'Hey Kit, what is a self-respecting Brit doing watching basketball?' he asks. Obviously Dennis doesn't know that when basketball was first a demonstration sport at the Olympics in the early 1900s, Britain won the gold. The team was all made up of players from the Central London YMCA gym (of which I am a member!). So our Olympic basketball heritage is very deep Dennis!

MUSIC AT THE VENUES
If you're going to an event, as well as 'We Will Rock You' expect to hear 'Let's Get It Started' by Black Eyed Peas and 'Shake It' the Greek Eurovision entry from this year (no sign of the ace Ukraine song that pipped them to the title though). And they seem to try to play music from the countries involved in whatever you're watching. So 'Ca Plaine Pour Moi' was on during French beach volley and this morning during the Australian water polo match they played Men At Work (twice) and, oddly, 'Highway To Hell' by AC/DC. Sadly, they didn't seem to have any Kazakhstan tunes.
