....NO.

Or "St Anne of Comic Relief" as she is referred to chez Straummy. The more she feigns concern while imploring me to part with my cash, the less likely I am to oblige. 
 
And in all fairness to the old bugger, George "I  Merv Hughes" Michael has actually inspired me...
 
...to buy a new razor.
 
 
 
Still, it could be worse. They might dig up the Sp1ce Girls....
 
 
 
 
 
Oh bugger
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Muse almost made it worth watching on their own.

They got the gold from me tonight.

The closing ceremony just finished for me.

I don't have the works to express how much
I've been impressed from the start to the finish-but I'll try...

Excellent. For 17 days our world was a better place
and the host was pure gold.

My hats off and my thanks to all of England and all involved for a truely remarkable
performance. Ace.
