Discussing the Olympic swimming with my mother yesterday, I was a little surprised when she informed me that Claudia Schiffer had been beaten into bronze behind two Chinese swimmers.
(Finally we worked out she meant Australian swimmer Jessica Schipper)
This was nearly as hilarious as our chat about opening ceremonies a week earlier where she tried to get me to remember the one with “Lenny” and something about a duck.
(Finally we worked out she meant Leunig).

My mother once informed us, many Olympics ago, that Michael Bolton had won the men’s 100 metres. When we suggested that she meant Michael Johnson, she said, “Don’t be ridiculous: Michael Johnson plays basketball.”
And is Claudia Schiffer winning the bronze medal any more improbable than the idea that she might once have been married to David Copperfield?
i can just picture michael bolton running – with all his hair sweeping behind him!
perhaps a new reality tv show…supermodel olympics!
Speaking of the Chinese…they are doing VERY well in the swimming… actually make that a general comment…are they on drugs?!
sometimes you’ve just got wonder about that hey?!
