Ginger Sooty, GLOVE PUPPET OF DREAMS provides a daily round-up of events at the London 2012 Olympics that are, quite simply London 2012.
Well Folks – Another day of great action!
Lulu won a gold in the women’s weightlifting. I didn’t know the firey throated ginger icon was such a jerk exponent. However I think she has been dabbling with the steroids judging by this shot of her.
Women’s Handball – Basically it’s like throwing a bean bag around while each team knocks the bejesus out of each other.
The best action I’ve seen from the Olympics. In the France v Montenegro Women’s quarter-final match, Popovic scored with the last shot to see the crafty Slavic nation advance.
A couple of sports to look out for.
1. Those Lads Who Walk Around With The Arses Of Their Jeans Hanging Around Their Ankles Steeplechase – Not a great took is it? They will regret it in years to come. I’m particularly looking forward to the water jump.
The USA’s Chad Carlson and his partner F’ont’arn Drive-By-Shooting are the favourites – if they can shuffle to the stadium in time.
Team GB’s Titchy-Shank-U-Wiv-Me-Swiss-Army-Corkscrew-Innit is confident of medalling, if his mum will let him aaaaaahhhht!
2. Cheesey Peas Far Fling
A sport as old as chewing. The Dalai Lama’s favourite pastime and as the Buddha himself once wrote “Well fucked off today. Missed out on my best ever Cheesey Peas Far Fling score by single point. Gutted. Never going to attain my next level of consciousness now.”
A simple game. Immerse peas in cheese. Take a handful of the Cheesey Peas and try to maximise your score by grouping your “fling” as close to the centre of the target thirty three yards away. Points are deducted for the distance each Cheesey Pea is from the bullseye or as it is known in Cheesey Pea talk, “The Dragon’s Lair” (We don’t know either).
Bangladesh have high hopes in the women’s competition (they are current Asian champions) but look out for plucky Dutch Edina Gouda who told Gfb recently, “Yesh, for shure I thinksh I can win der Cheeshey Peash Far Fling. My peash are real cheeshey this year!”
Enjoy The Games!

Ginger Sooty is doing an awesome job highlighting my favorite sports. Great Job!
Cheers – he’s at the Hockey today!
It’s comforting to know that even Buddha lost his cool every so often.
And you should get a prize for the name “Titchy-Shank-U-Wiv-Me-Swiss-Army-Corkscrew-Innit.”
Apparently he was a right surly bastard Buddha.
I would pay a large amount of money to see “Those Lads Who Walk Around With The Arses Of Their Jeans Hanging Around Their Ankles Steeplechase.”
I suspect this would be a global sport for a while
My cheesey peas would never hit the target as my aim is always off! However, I may get the highest number points-wise (if we choose to ignore the minus sign)…
Good stuff – Keep practicing – Cheesey Peas Far Fling is gonna be global!
Like Tom, my cheesy peas are far from perfectly aimed. Another great round up!
Keep practicing Kate – you could grab a gold at Rio in 2016. Rumours are that the target will be the Sugar Loaf Jesus. Blasphemy and athletic endeavour in one go!
Where do you stand on the issue of using mushy peas to increase grouping accuracy.
The rules are clear – “the pea (as defined in Rule 2i) must be spherical in shape, based upon appearance to the human eye.
In 1978 tinned peas were banned and mushy peas were also outlawed on the grounds of mushiness thus improving their cheese retention capacity.

I have been saving this ALL AFTERNOON. I went to meet my friend Kristin’s new son, and HE IS A GINGER. Carrot top of hair. Totally unrelated to this post, but I couldn’t wait to tell you.
Hooray! As he is Ginger he is extremely bright Andra. I expect him to be reading Gingerfightback within the week (may help with the colic). Forza!
You’re obviously a Ginger on a mission. I’m really enjoying Sooty’s Olympic Diaries, the only form of Olympic coverage I can bear to look at. One question – is there anyone famous who isn’t/wasn’t Ginger?
Thanks – glad you are enjoying Sooty – The only famous person who isn’t ginger would be L Ron Hubbard and look what he got up to!
Dear Ging,
I may be wrong,
but this could just be your FUNNYEST post yet.
Serious smiling going on here.
