The Olympic Opening Ceremony, Cliff Richard and the 100,000 nude morris dancers


Well it is yet another grey day in Britain; there is a theory at school that it is the work of undercover agents from a foreign government who are involved with an anonymous mad scientist who is disrupting the weather for large sums of money with his evil weather machine.  The plan is to discredit the opening of the London Olympics with rain, ice and snow and make us Brits look like IDIOTS.  I can see how Cliff Richard singing ‘We’re all going on a summer holiday’ in rain and hail as the bus drives round and round the main stadium in three feet of water could easily give the image of a bunch of deranged cheapskates who have lost the plot. Even the idea of the goat being catapulted over the stadium in a blaze of glory to light the caldron has been dismissed now. It is Eddy the Eagles fault after his practice attempt set fire to Cliff Richard and caused the 100, 000  nude Morris dancers to run for cover as his Olympic torch bounced out of control through the dance routine, setting fire to the pantomime horse and the Archbishop of Canterbury. Still I am sure it will be OK on the day.

Dad is still complaining about his weather machine as it is looking a little the worse for wear after mum torched it with the flame thrower. However a nice man in a suit and dark sunglasses gave dad a large brown envelope full of cash in used notes this evening and told him to fix it and stop messing about.



I, on the other hand have been tinkering with the telescope now I have it back. It is rather old dad bought it about thirty years ago at least and although it is only a little three and a half inch reflector telescope I have worked out that I can take photos of the sky with the digital camera as and when we can see the sky.  My first attempt was not great it was of a pigeon on a telegraph pole two miles away but then the pigeon flew off leaving just the pole. Still it is a start and I will get a decent picture of the moon sooner or later. Either that or the Aliens spacecraft that Mr Jones says will be using the opening of the Olympics as cover to invade Britain.  I rather hope they do land during the opening ceremony the thought of the Archbishop of Canterbury and a pantomime horse in hand to hand mortal combat with aliens while one hundred thousand nude Morris dances run screaming for cover; all to the lyrical tones of Cliff Richard on a bus singing ‘ I married a monster from outer-space’  sounds rather good.        

Oooo yes I am making a bench too at present..

  2. Hee hee Rob Z, are you experiencing a sense of deja vu?

    I bought the Lil man a telescope for his birthday so he could watch 'The Sky At Night.' Why he can't sit and watch the programme like everyone else, I'll never know.

    Oh and I think that I'm going to need some bleach to clean away the images of nude Morris dancers. *shivers*

    1. Glad to hear the Lil man has a telescope, although in London it must be hard to seen any stars due to all the light pollution. I hope he tries the trick with the digital camera pointing down the eye piece it works rather well. He can then get close ups of the dudes tradin on the street and blackmail them all..... No better not do that last part sounds rather dodgy and not very safe.

  3. To be honest, I'd rather Danny Boyle depicted the countryside than London, the image of drugs and drunk tramps isn't sending the best of messages to other nations...

    1. Depicting drugs at the opening ceremony of the Olympics would be an interesting ironic twist. And poor old Danny Boyle will now be known for ever as 'Mr Dan the Olympic Man' in Wales much like Mr Jones the Veg and Fred the Fire....

  4. In the state of Texas USofA you have to have a license to be in the weather modification business. If you google "TDLR weather" it has a link to their main web page. They have experimental sites over a large part of the state through five main cities, with one of them being Amarillo which is close by, so I'm pretty sure part of our weather here is art-of-frictional. I only learned about this recently as I was doing research with the licenses that concern my wife and my business ventures.

    1. In the UK if the weather ruins something the insurance companies always point and say ACT OF GOD and refuse to pay out. It appears in Texas they would not be able to do this as a man with a licence might have done it. And curiously I suspect GOD may not have a licence to change the weather in Texas anyway.... And folk say my blog is odd....
