We've landed the Olympics!!! I am so thrilled!
What is it about the Olympics that suddenly captivated the nation. That made me shout at the radio Yes! Yes! Yes!
That made people pour out of offices in London into Trafalgar square in tumultuous celebration. That suddenly created an overwhelming national feel good factor!
Is it the sense that suddenly England was going to play host to the greatest sporting festival in the world. That suddenly London was going to be put on the map. That the world no longer held the War in Iraq against us. That we had managed to whop the French! That suddenly there was a sense of new community spirt, new prospects for regeneration, new business opportunities etc.
Suddenly the whole media has gone sporting crazy? Why? What does this mean? What is the point of it all?
Perhaps the Olympics is a celebration of life itself! A celebration of health! A celebration of the human strength of character, strength of resolve, strength of physical prowress, ambition and drive.
Is this the Athenian Spirit?
If so what does this mean for me?
