Ahh the old 'lettuce for a mortgage' ploy ...

Man tries to pay bill with spider drawing

I like soccer, but for the love off God, what is it doing in the Olympics?

I agree - but then I feel the same about the beach volley ball. I don't want to go all post modern feminist here, but what the fsck are they wearing (or not wearing)? I mean those 'kini bottoms are so small ... since when did builder's bum become an Olympic sport?

Fortunately I was also able to watch the whole women's cycling race on public TV in Oz - which made a pleasant change from endless Australian swimming successes. It rocked.

Off on a tangent but the term “rocket scientist” to indicate enormous intellect really annoys me

I prefer the term 'rocket surgeon'.
