Above: at the top of my In Box this morning was an e-mail telling me that Stephen Fry is to be the voice of the Olympic mascot. Why Stephen Fry? Are we so bereft of talent in this country that Stephen Fry has to appear in EVERYTHING?
Or was he just the safe option chosen because every other creative director chooses him for every other voice-over?
"Approval of what is approved of, is as false as a well-kept vow" (Betjeman quoting Oscar Wilde).
Above: the first thing visitors from Paris see when they arrive in London by Eurostar are these giant Olympic rings. Personally I am already bored by the Olympics, especially as all the tickets have gone (I did try to buy some for the boxing). For me it is just going to be a television event.
