WHEW!!! That's a relief: I was going to feel pretty silly if you'd changed it a while back and I just now noticed!!! :p

And good a good evening to you, too! :)
Ha de ha.
Nope, some time today, i'm fairly sure.
It's my marbles that are missing cos i can't quite remember.
Esio Trot is the theme for a bit.

Good evening, Jane. :)
100 metres and lots of boos for the winner.
I was sorry to see Bolt lose. There's no doubt that he wasn't the best on the day.

I didn't boo Gatlin. I couldn't applaud him either. Being banned once for drugs is bad enough. A second ban should be permanent in my opinion. He threw away his second chance and wants people to be charitable and give him a third chance. The authorities did, the paying public clearly don't feel so magnanimous.

He's definitely not an athletics hero.

I would be interested to know what opinion is of him in the US.

I hate the lot of advertising in movies on TV. The break they make, the interruption of the movie makes my angry. I don`t want this any more !
Again, i agree, and why I used to watch mainly the BBC with no adverts.
It's horrible when the director builds the atmosphere in a movie and you suddenly have an advert for 'Burger King' (other brands of tasty beef patties are available) .Here there are so many ads I find TV virtually unwatchable.

Well, I feel that unless you give a lifetime ban, we have to accept someone back and as the ban wasn't permanent he can compete. i believe in redemption and second chances. But yes, he should have been banned for life the second time, in my opinion. And the whole Russian team has an indefinite ban ? Where's the justice in comparison there ?
The people should have been booing the athletics federation. .
Hope you're having fun.:)
