Its on like Donkey Kong
Well I caught up with Buzz on Saturday, and he has agreed to the bet. Although we've upped it to £20, which is a nice even number, and also the exact amount in my savings account (give or take 30p).
I got off lightly with Buzz as far as bets go, usually if you make a wager with the guy the loser has to eat an entire Cactus, or do the London Marathon in a suit of armour full of maggots.
Actually, I'll be surprised if Buzz even remembers us making this Olympic bet at all, we shook on it Saturday night - and it was also his birthday, so the wager was made in a Tsunami of Vodka.
Last I saw Buzz, he wandered onto the dance floor at Infernos - and promptly disappeared. It was a bit disconcerting, as we had only been in the club for about ten minutes.
Buzz didn't remember Infernos at all, but told me he woke up Sunday morning in his house completely naked, with the door open and all the lights on. This is quite unerring, unless you've been to Infernos, then you will know that this if par for the course (places I've woken up after a night at Infernos include a stair case, a suit case, and a shower - with the water running).
The current medal counts are:
AUSTRALIA: 5 GOLD, 4 SILVER, 7 BRONZE. TOTAL: 16
GREAT BRITAIN: 2 GOLD, 2 SILVER, 3 BRONZE. TOTAL: 7
Australia needs to be in the clear by 20 medals for me to win this bet, so we are currently lagging by 11. I've got no idea how strong our Olympic team is this year, not even sure why I made this bet - something to do I guess. What the fuck is going on with the Men's swimming? I thought we were good at that?
Nobody seems to give a fuck about the Olympics in London at the moment, maybe due to the time difference we are just getting sporadic highlights footage - but probably because the almighty Football Premiership kick off in a few days. If I wanted to, I could probably go to a nearby Walkabout pub early in the morning and watch a rowing race, surrounded by over-zealous fuckers in Aussie flag face paint singing Waltzing Matilda every ten minutes. That's if I wanted to of course, and I truly, truly don't want to.
Although not everybody is treating this Olympics meet with sleepy disinterest - one British guy climbed up a 120 foot pole the other day and hung a huge "FREE TIBET" banner from the top. The Chinese President was so impressed by this, that he immediately granted Tibet total political and religious autonomy.
Just kidding kids - protest never works. Write that down somewhere.
