Time Out – Number Two
In case you haven’t already, and are able to, go buy this week’s issue of Time Out and turn to page six to see what I think of Danny Boyle’s exclusion of pigeons from the Olympic Ceremony. Outrageous.
The front cover looks like this:

I agree. Mental, Nothing but fields with sheep and cows. At the same time, parties happening all over the country have to call themselves London 2012. Makes no sense whatsoever.

There’s a silver lining to the scandalous exclusion of pigeons from this so -called ‘ceremony’. At least you won’t have to associate with the likes of David Beckham (and, presumably, the skeletal, hatchet-faced ‘Posh’) and……FFS……..Paul McCartney singing ‘Hey Jude’. Sheesh.
Incidentally, I’m going to Norway and Iceland shortly, so I’ll be looking out for pigeons pecking at bits of whale-meat and cod. If it’s a goer, I’ll try & get a snap of this Scadinavian alternative to chip-tossing.

Genius. Get some pics. Love to see them. Heard the Scandis are pretty nifty with the chips.
