I switched the TV on first thing, hoping for the weather forecast. But seemingly EVERY BLASTED CHANNEL was either Tokyo Olympics or hyperactive yelling- and-shouting- ITV-type crap plus, interminable bloody adverts. Cack, basically. The Olympics are full of people kicking each other, punching each other, running faster than each other, throwing big heavy things things .... 90% of it is violent. And utterly, utterly pointless. So ... I suggest that each Olympics should have a sort of " Big Bird Race" event. The audience could watch the frantic actions of the teams on a whole bank of huge screens, or of course on their laptops ..and it could be transmitted all over the world. How educational it would be for our UK bird-spotters to get a good look at Japanese birds, and, of course, the top bird-spotters from many different countries ! No kicking, no punching, no pointless going round and round on a bike for miles and miles, no ridiculous rubbish like pommel-twirling / marathon-running/ pole-stupid-vaulting/ hammer-throwing and the like ... just finding birds. How lovely !! Anyway, that's my IDEA OF THE DAY ... and I'm going to write to my MP suggesting all of that, and I am sure that both of my readers will do the same. ...and now, a stirring anthemic, German song ... "Days Like These" .. just about every wedding "do" ,every birthday party, every christening finishes up with this gorgeous song ..... "Tage wie diese " .. and here's the words, English and German ... for you to sing along with .. erstaunlich !
