Is anyone watching the Olympics?

I thought the mixed doubles would be a game too far at such short notice, but they came close. Laura Robson wasn't quite the "teenage sensation" she was hailed as. Fish out of water if ever there was one.

I used to work for the same company her dad was a big shot of. The company newspaper were always going on about her every chance they had, along with footballer Matty Upson for the same reason. This was back in the days before every firm started having a company newspaper when print became cheap enough.

No one was allowed to remove copies from company premises to take home. What the punishment would have been for doing so I never found out - taken out into the yard and shot?!
