The Gransnet Olympics !

This opening ceremony - what are we opening? Wine, chocolate biscuits, fruit gums, refreshers?

Extreme crafts for me Underwater Basket Weaving.

Granny23 world record holders are always welcome!

MiniMouse we could wait and see if we get another person and make it a 4 x Procrastination team. That sounds very authentic doesn't it?!

Jalima did you see the whole clip with Princess Anne and the flag? I thought her ducking down was very funny and Andy nearly poked Seb Coe's eye out with the pointy end at one point!

G&T an ice bath for a head injury? Did you put her in head first? Hope you packed her cycle helmet for the real event. Hope she feels better soon.

Lisalou Definitely no need to rush, we could decide over the weekend or next week.....

Wilma Now that there are three of us, we could do a procrastination relay!

Sometime

I set a new world record today for pea picking and podding - can I join the GN team?

anniebach

I blame fat finger syndrome
(could that be an event, how many spelling mistakes can you make with fat fingers in five minutes?)

Princess Anne will win the 'Come on, mosquitoes - if you're 'ard enough' competition.

Mini Mouse, i will join you in the procrastination event, but i do think we should wait a while!

Bring in on Jalima, I'm no coward , stupid yes, coward no

Andy Murray is winning in the 'Who can Clonk Princess Anne on the Head with the Flag Event'

I think fir me definitely the spelling event
Stiff compertition in that event though anniebach you might not get gold

I have one knee in strapping but am bravely entering the Getting up From Chair - Look No Hands Event
Have been in training for two whole days (it's supposed to strengthen the glutes, I will look like Chris Hoy before long)

Mrs G&T hope you have a swift recovery in time for the opening ceremony

She is a toned athlete, will be up for a longer trip tomorrow. I was a bit worried, she has a cut on her eyebrow, wow did it bleed, looked worse than it was, but she might have a black eye and a few bruises.

Ok, time for some snoring practice.

Oh no!! Get wel soon Mrs P (and take more tonic in it in future!)

I had to choose spelling, have hand and wrist in strapping , knee in strapping, have low vision , what's left?

Mrs. P has just been practising the long trip, made 10 feet across the room and split her head open on the edge on the TV table. Physio has her in an ice bath to recover in time for her next trip.

fiorentina51 Your husband is most welcome to join the team, but he must attend the afternoon nap training sessions, we are taking the event very seriously. We don't want any sleepers on the team.

I'm entering the 'walk 25 yards and then go back again, repeat regularly for around 25 minutes' race. Plenty of practice whilst walking two very elderly and slow dogs.

If I don't qualify for the Fosbury Flop I could enter the 'Bum in the Air Pentathlon'

Tying shoelaces for a brogue wearing ex farmer.
Weeding a large perennial border - No gloves allowed.
Mopping up dog/cat muddy footprints.
Picking up socks - including the ones that have managed to find their way under the bed.
And in the final heat......Scrabbling around for the contents of trouser pockets casually thrown over the back of a chair.

Oh, bollix, the crossing out didn't work, spoilt the joke completely

Event! That's it! Knew I'd get it if I just --had a few glasses of--gave my brain a rest.

Annie

Surely you mean defiantly, Anniebach?

I think fir me definitely the spelling event

May I enter my husband for the synchronised snoring event? He specialises in the window rattling snort.
