I agree that the writer of that article is the one trying to stir up something out of nothing, its a crap bad taste joke of the type that Frankie Boyle has made his name and money from, nothing to see here at all. The only surprise is that he deleted his tweet - is he getting soft, doesn't want publicity any more, or is he turning all establishment and now wants only good publicity ?

Any 'news' story that is basically consists of "you have Twitter. So here's something you probably read yesterday" / "You don't have Twitter. Here's something you could have read if you did" deserves no space in a newspaper or online, imnvho. Journalism ≠ +C and +V, with the odd loaded adjective ("vile") thrown in.

I am not particularly interested in the whole Olympic circus, but couldn't help but notice the 'talent' of Zara Dampney, one of the GB Beach Volleyball players!

Not just eye candy...apparently she aspires to be a lawyer but has put her studies on hold to do the Beach Volleyball circuit for a few years.

I don't imagine she will have too much trouble finding a law firm to take her on.

Legal briefs, stand up in court, in her chambers etc...etc....

BoJo's ramblings:



Likening beach volleyball players as "wet otters".

I thought he was an educated bloke, surely he knows the difference between an otter and a beaver

And Jan Moir of the Fail has actually penned a column that includes the comment, of the women's road race, that it was won by "some bitch from Holland".
