Yes, enough with the f-ing Olympics and Paralympics already, sheesh

Jessica Ennis does double* entendres...

From The Guardian (I have not changed a word, Scout's Honour):

Jessica Ennis: 'I'm getting to that point where I'm ready to peak'

"It feels close now, really close," Jessica Ennis says as the shadow of London 2012 stretches across another drizzly day in Sheffield. It is supposed to be spring, and a time of gentle sunshine and new warmth, but Ennis can be excused just a small shiver as the penultimate stage in her long journey to the Olympics rises up this weekend...

"Götzis gives you that shiver," Ennis says, "but it's also a shiver of anticipation. I love Götzis, and it's an amazing event, but this time round it feels even bigger."

* Is the correct spelling "doubles" with an "s"?

Fun Online Polls: Jessica Ennis and the next Archbishop of Canterbury

The results to last week's Fun Online Poll are as follows:

Who is Team GB's cutest athlete?

Jessica Ennis - 20 votes
One of the beach volleyball team - 18
Shana Cox - 0
Other, please specify - 9

'Others' included two nominations for Victoria Pendleton, nowhere near enough to knock Jessica Ennis off her perch.

This week's Fun Online Poll is also from the vast realm of "topics about which we know little and care less". Read the form guides here and here and then vote here or use the widget in the sidebar.

It's a bit worrying that I've been doing caricatures for so long they are now caricatures of "formers" and "exes": I hope the next guy is as easy to draw.

Fun Online Polls: War on Scotland, Jessica Ennis

The results to last week's Fun Online Poll are as follows:

Which country would David Cameron most like to declare war on?

Scotland - 36%
Iran - 20%
Argentina - 11%
Syria - 10%
North Korea - 1%
None, he's a peace loving bloke - 7%
Other, please specify - 15%

Seems fair enough, Scotland is about the only country on that list against whom we'd stand a reasonably good chance, provided we remembered to ask them for our nuclear submarines back first.

Suggestions for "other" included Britain (two votes), England, The Falklands (easy!), Brussels (and then promptly surrender), poverty, the workers and Tunbridge Wells. Most of those aren't even countries...

And lo, as Britain finally catches Olympics fever (good excuse for falling house prices), let's have a Fun Online Poll on who is Team GB's cutest athlete.
