Did you hear he was out until 3 in the morning the night after his 100m final with the Swedish volleyball team?!

It's completely ridiculous, how can this man be so much faster than everyone else?

I suppose we'll find out when he runs the 200m tomorrow how much it's affected him...

Says here they requested to meet him. It was only a few hours in his room in the village. No drinking!

scroll down for cute piicture of Andy Murray's two dogs as well

Nonu Tue 07-Aug-12 11:05:16

effblinder Tue 07-Aug-12 11:22:25

Oh ok, fair enough Nonu. I suppose that sounds a bit more tame than I was expecting!

Maybe I will cheer him on in the 200m after all hmm

Nonu Tue 07-Aug-12 13:36:40

Did you see on news that the school he attended in Jamaica had a power cut , so students had to listen on portable radio, what a dear little story, well I thought so

Do you remember the days when you could party until goodness knows when and then carry on next day as if nothing had happened? Also eat very late and not get indigestion?

Nonu Tue 07-Aug-12 14:16:06

Oh yes , don"t want to shock you but I still can !!!!

Nonu Tue 07-Aug-12 14:18:39

thought I would add a ps, the difference being , Don"t particulary want now ,

glammanana Tue 07-Aug-12 14:19:03

I used to go out with a crowd of girls to clubs in Liverpool and stay up most of the night and be in work at British Telecom on direct enquiries at 7am,always wonder how many wrong numbers I gave out the morning after the night before ??

whitewave Tue 07-Aug-12 14:24:12

Blimey nonu what is your secret? If I eat after say about 7pm I get terrible indigestion when I go to bed. I do still stay out late and toddle on the next day though but not so often - probably because there are not so many places to go at our age I would look very strange in some of the clubs here in Brighton.

Nonu Tue 07-Aug-12 14:31:52

Dunno ! but hand on heart I just don"t get indigestion , I will say though if I drink my coffee without sugar I have been known to have a little heartburn, so guess what !!!!!!!!! I love Brighton we used to go from time to time , but did not go on Nudie beaches , will keep my bits and pieces to myself thanks . Don"t want to frighten the horses . Tee Hee. blush

whitewave Tue 07-Aug-12 14:34:28

Funny really when you live in a place you don't often go to the touristy places but if we have friends to visit we take them around and quite enjoy it - like you nonu we haven't been to the nudist beach it is too stoney and not such a nice beach as further along the coast.

Annobel Tue 07-Aug-12 15:17:29

On a 'clothes optional' beach in NZ, I realised that the ones who take their clothes off are the ones you'd prefer to see with their clothes on.

Nonu Tue 07-Aug-12 15:22:46

You set me off again, can"t stop laughin

whitewave Tue 07-Aug-12 15:32:18

Why is it that when I look in the mirror I see someone a bit portly but not too gross on the other hand when I see photoas of myself they are huge?

whitewave Tue 07-Aug-12 15:36:12

oh that last post should have been on the fasting thread - sorry

Nonu Wed 08-Aug-12 20:27:48

Why so much support for Usain Bolt, he's not even British.
