Working on the premise that there is nothing, repeat nothing, that cannot be improved by the addition of a cowbell, The Winter Olympics must be the best sport ever. They ring cow bells because clapping with heavily gloved hands is pointless.

GB are looking good for more medals this time. I’m in awe of the ones who throw themselves down a mountain, in the perishing cold, with little more than a couple of bits of wood or a tea tray. I’ve no idea how the speed skaters manage finish a race with all their fingers intact. Those curling stones could easily break all your metatarsals at once. Premier League footballers don’t even know what real jeopardy means, let alone experience it. We have Lizzie Arnold mad enough to do the tea tray thing and Elise Christie looked very impressive this morning, retaining her fingers while travelling across ice faster than anyone else.

Go GB!

Any thoughts from the Afterword? If not, any suggestions for top ten songs featuring cow bell?
