Logged into my home page this morning to be greeted by a list of Olympic related news headlines: Up there were Victoria Pendleton; Jessica Ennis; GB Rowing team; Bradley Wiggins; Andy Murray and Pippa Middleton.

WHAT! I thought. Pippa Middleton? If the gold for nice arse goes to anyone but Jessica Ennis there is something untoward going on.

Talking of nice arses, has anybody else noticed amid all the controversy about empty seats the beach vollyeyball stadium is always packed. Mostly with middle aged men in grubby raincoats.
