Wow, what a week. After all the teasing and foreplay, the golden showers have erupted – and for once I’m not being disgusting.
And what better way to celebrate Team GB’s very own gold rush than by printing up thousands of stamps? Genius.
I’ll certainly be ordering a few first day covers of the gorgeous Bradley Wiggins. OK, he may not be my type – I like my men with a bit more meat on them, to be honest – but he can take me in the saddle and go through my gears any time he likes with stamina like that.
I know he’s got a wife and family and everything, but hey, I’m willing to put that to one side if he is.
The thing is, I was actually hoping to get up close and personal with Wiggo at the Opening Ceremony but by last Friday afternoon my invite had been well and truly pulled.
Apparently one of you readers had grassed me up to Locog and my plans for a “lip-smacking- thirst-quenching -Busty-Bonus” were about as popular as Ben Johnson.
Not that I was that bothered, my secret millionaire put me up in a suite at the Grosvenor where I watched the evening unfold on a 54-inch screen lapping it up in my own personal jacuzzi. He made his excuses to his missus – claiming he had to entertain some clients – and by 1am his stroke rate was putting Sir Steve Redgrave to shame. And believe me, his Olympic torch was on fire all through the night, too.
Mind you, you may think I’m obsessed with the 2012 Games but I’m a mere amateur when compared to some sections of the marketing press.
My old mate Jeremy Lee at Campaign magazine has been banging on about the lack of shooting coverage for days. Anyone would think he’s angling to get a ticket to the event or maybe he’s just trying to get back on to the ITV shooting jolly…
Then again, not many have plumbed the depths like Marketing Week’s 2012 ‘blog’, where you can read insightful stuff such as “Bradley Wiggins’ recent wins are set to spark a sponsorship boom for the cyclist” (no shit Sherlock) and “Marketing Week watched the Opening Ceremony at BT London Live at Hyde Park, where some of the sponsors were out in force”. Riveting.
Still, must dash – the athletics is starting!
