Yesterday I shouted at the football on the television. When Fernando Torres scored his second goal in Chelsea's comfortable win against Leicester in the FA Cup I shouted at the TV: "Don't mention the London Bus analogy." And what happened? The commentator said "It's the old London bus scenario. One doesn't come for ages and then two come together." Yuck and how predictable. Can we have sports commentary without the cliches please? I much prefer the comment left on Facebook: "What does Fernando Torres scoring a goal and Mothers' Day have in common?" Answer - They both only happen once a year.
Have spent all today getting my village web site up to date and writing copy for the local newspapers. Two news events dominate in the village. Firstly yesterday we had the first ever 30-60 cycle ride which attracted 300 cyclists who started and finished at Hethersett Social Club and who rode either 30 or 60 miles around the Norfolk Countryside. I'm pleased that the event will be repeated again next year. It's yet another example of improving fitness, well being and health in the village and also raising money for charity at the same time.
Congrats to parish councillor and Hethersett Olympic Committee Chairman Shane Hull who has been chosen to run with the Olympic Torch on its journey round the country. Shane will be carrying the torch at Acle on the same day as it's stopping off in Hethersett in recognition of all the efforts put in by our village to organise Olympic themed events over the past three years. Over that time we have been acknowledged nationally for organising more events per head of population than any other village, town or city in the country.
Finally I was very disappointed to read about Coronation Street actor William Roache's claims that he has bedded 1,000 women which makes him a serial shagger. Disappointing that through much of that time he was held up to have a very successful and happy marriage. So is the boast true or is it good old Corrie Ken's attempts to wind the press up? Only the actor himself knows unless a few hundred women suddenly come out of the woodwork of course.
