My what a lot of hype

I can't believe the amount of excitement that a simple flame being carried around the country can generate.

If you visited another country in for instance deepest Mongolia and thousands of people got all excited and waved and were happy because a

flame

 was being carried from A to B.

You'd be wondering about the mental health of the population - maybe it was the hidden radiation that was affecting their minds.

Seriously though I'm concerned about the pressure British athletes are taking on themselves as they compete. How can Jessica Ennis cope with the expectations of millions of armchair sports enthusiasts.

Now there's an explanation - the radiation isn't  nuclear generated but comes out of those boxes that glow in the night. "Get a life" could be a message worth contemplating.

And then  coupled with this, these armchair enthusiasts actually stir themselves to go waving flags and having street parties over an old lady who rarely says or even does anything of interest but is alledgedly having a birthday or is it an anniversary, you'd wonder what traumatic experiences they'd all been through or was it total boredom over the past ten years that is suddenly finding a release?

Crazy crazy crazy is the word that comes to mind.

Now I'm looking forward to shifting 5 tons of compost next Thursday morning - maybe on my own - now that does seem mad - just to see some flowers grow - well now who's suffering from radiation and had some traumatic experience that has unsettled his mind.
