Sorry, guys....you may not see too much of me over the next 2 weeks!!

Hi guys,

I do post for an hour in the morning before shooting off to work.....but in the evening it's OLYMPIC time, and I am glued to the TV watching some my favourite events like Swimming, Gymnastics and Weight-lifting.....and next week it's gonna be the exciting Track & Field events.

So....sorry if I won't be around too much until the 24th of this month!! That's when the games end!!

And to those of you who are heaving a sigh of relief, I say.....

Cheers - JJ

JJ there is no way that you are going to be able to resist Or do you mean instead of doing a hundred posts a day you are going to restrict yourself to fifty?

Enjoy the games

I love watching the Olympics as well, I'll sit on the lounge with a laptop so I can check on TRF and watch the games at the same time.

Although I don't believe one word of this, I could almost hear that collective sigh of relief roaring over the globe! This AWOL time gives lesser gods the opportunity to work on their post count

JJ,

You can't stay away from this place. You will be posting during the commercial (advertisements) breaks

JJ: there is a possible solution. Just get yourself one of those newfangled Speedo super-suits. You can get your Olympics on while posting, and it will reduce wind drag as you race back and forth between the couch and the computer.
