22:18 – Esslingen, Germany

Amazingly, here in the middle of Germany, no one appears to be interested in the opening ceremony of the Monopolympics.

Bloody marvelous.

I bet there’s a lot of Brits who spend much of their lives bemoaning the fact that the corporates are taking over, while spending as little time as possible keeping fit, squelching a tear in the eye on account of feeling a bit jingoistically emotional about the opening ceremony (Danny Boyle – what a great bloke – must be alright if he’s involved), standing up for Land of Hope and Gory, checking their Twitterings to make sure that they’re in line with Marcus and Eddie and Armando (so that’s alright then) and generally being tossers who think it’s OK to wave their flags just because we got the Monopolympics AND THE FRENCH DIDN’T.

Tossers.

How come everyone’s gone bloody stoopid?!
