    This Olympics malarkey is all well and good but I would just like to inform you Maccas about my previous dealings with the International Olympic Committee. A few years ago I tried to get synchronised drinking registered as an Olympic sport to no avail. I even offered to be head coach for the British team but the suggestion was thrown back in my face. Or would have been if they had bothered to reply! Do you know how difficult…

There was a lady singer on who played a pretty mean guitar and it was my kind of music even though the rest of the crowd are not rock…

I could  just see Pete dancing around playing his bones.
