*wakes up*

Where am I???

On the bus to the Olympics

*straps on ice skates and does a quick pirouette before diving off the back of the busand catching hold of the back bumper, swinging back into the air and landing on both feet just by the skylight.*
Have I shrunk?
*Notices blades of skates have gone through the roof.*

Oh...Am I entered in something or am I just here for the ride!!!

Pick a sport and get stuck in. It's never too late to take upa new sport. I've heard humming national anthems while people guess is doing well just now.

Ok hmmm hmmm la da da da da hmmm hmmmm mmmm mmmmm la da da da da

Sod this, I'll swim instead!!!

Oh Ohh I could do that

GOD SAVE OUR GRAIOUS QUEEN
GOD SAVE OUR NOBLE QUEEN
GOAD SAVE THE QUEEN
CROWN HER VICTORIOUS
HAPPY AND GLORIUOS

*All the windows on the bus start to break*

*watches cars skid all over the road trying to avoid the broken glass. Makes note in book about a potential new sport.*
Can you swim then?
*coach is overtaken by Paula Radcliff, on a bike.*

Yes I can, I move like fish, swim like a fish, stear like a cow, that's why I'll enter all the straight line swimming!!!

I'll be in the stand cheering you on. So long as my own event doesn't clash. In which case beware of huge man in vest, tutu and ice skates spiralling into the water in the deep end.

So your doing the marathon then!!!

It only feels like it.

Wha-huh? We're going to the 'lympics? Is it too late to apply to compete? They have a "cheese puff gymnastics" category in the rhythmic gymnastic event, don't they? I've been practicing for years.

They've jsut called for late entries to be in asap. You have your chance. Go, go, go!

...and here is a late entry from h2g2 for the cheese puffs olympics. Due to the lacking of contestants, we will go straight into the final.

... et voici une entrée en retard de h2g2 pour les Jeux Olympiques de souffles de fromage. En raison de manquer des contestants, nous entrerons directement dans la finale.

ο ...and είναι εδώ μια πρόσφατη είσοδος από h2g2 για τους Ολυμπιακούς Αγώνες ριπών τυριών. Λόγω να λείψουμε των αγωνιζομένων, θα πάμε κατ' ευθείαν σε τελικό.

Given the English, then the French, I'd hazard a guess that's an attempt at Greek letters...

Just had a go myself: when you try to post Greek characters, it turns them all into code

Ah, makes sense. I wonder if there's somewhere they could be translated back into Greek. I guess you'd have to have the cyrrilic (or whatever it's called) installed on your computer.

Anyway, I better get on before I miss my spot and get disqualified or something.
