Going there - bought the tee shirts


Even the most avid Olympics hater will probably be aware that the first competitive action of the 2012 Games gets underway today with the women's football.

This is followed, tomorrow, by the men's football when Team GB (&NI) take their bow against Senegal at Old Trafford.

And Wee John and I will be there.  More on that next time.  

However, the Olympic highlight for us Whites (and honorary White Wee John, obviously) will come on Friday week when all but Charlotte (who is even smaller than Wee John and therefore "too wee") attend a day of the rowing finals at Eton Dorney. And, of course, you have to get into the spirit of these things.

So, people, above you can see the official Team GB (&NI) attire which will adorn the persons of Jamie and I when we arrive in that London.

And my personal commitment to our heroes in red, white and blue does not end there.  Hell no. 

Because I decided to go a step further.  

Ladies and gentlemen, just for you, I present my official Team GB (&NI) man pyjamas which I shall wear of an evening throughout the Games (occasionally washing on those days when it's windy enough to dry them before bedtime).      


Rule Britannia (and Northern Ireland).
