Things that make you go 'hmmm'!

Watching the news with Joe (12) is brilliant. Tonight he had a comment about every item, some thought provoking, some....well funny really.

Here's his take on the budget for the Olympics.
( and he laughed with us, so I'm not exploiting him... I don't think!)

'£8million pounds? That's lot of money, I mean all they need is somewhere for the dry events and a pool!'

We can see the application forms now:
Name?
Country?
Wet or dry?


Oh, and here's a question to consider for a split second - Is darts a sport?

Is there the relevant amount of activity required to catagorise it as sport, or is it just a 'competitive event'?

You see, it's not in the Olympics, is it?

And finally, why do red and green look SO festive?

to answer the "just a question... is darts a sport?" the definition of sport is "an institutionalised competitive activity that involves vigorus physical exertion or the use of relativly comlex physical skills by individuals whose participation is motivated by a combination of intrinsic and extrinsic factors" so i think the answer is probably yes!!

Hi Liz,

Yes, I did it, I signed up to blogger... I will eventually get round to actually saying something but for now I just signed up. Don't tell Glyn or I'll never hear the end of it... possibly.

Just to say we had red and green at our Christmas wedding three years ago. Haven't checked out the link from Dawn yet but it just looked really warm and cosy then.
