Inspired lunacy

If you were trying to work at night, as I was, during the Olympics in Sydney absolutely nothing got done while Roy and HG were on the TV.

Every sacred cow of the Olympics was attacked and lampooned, Roy, at his belligerent best, taking on all comers, especially the Australian Olympic Committee, and athletes getting themselves into all sorts of jams trying to avoid agreeing with Roy's more outrageous suggestions and ideas. Do yourself a favour, gets the videos. Looking back the boys said some really outrageous and clever stuff. It's still fresh, even in replay
