A Meme And Sporting Moments No. 20-5
Title of the first post each month:
January - My conscience is giving me trouble, new years and a fic
February - Scoreboard Update
March - What I've been doing
April - We meet again, Mr. Split Infinitive
May - Champions League
June - An Update
July - Musical PSA
August - Caribbean Carnival
September - Back From Germany
October - Fencing
November - Coventry Open
December - It's all the little things
It's mostly real life stuff and sport.
Sporting Moments
( 19. 2005: London awarded the 2012 Olympic Games, Singapore )
( 17. 2008: Usain Bolt wins the Olympic 200 metres, Beijing )
( 15. 2005: Gary Pratt runs out Ricky Ponting, Trent Bridge )
( 8. 2000: Cathy Freeman’s Olympic 400 metres, Sydney )
( 7. 2000 Steve Redgrave’s fifth Olympic gold, Sydney )
( 6. 2001 David Beckham’s late free kick, Old Trafford )
I'd also like to recommend another article from the Times, from Simon Barnes who is a great sports writer, and one of the best journalists working today in any field, summing up why he's not fed up with sport.

Final paragraph:
Sport is not only about good things, why should it be? Sport is rich, sport contains all manner of moods and emotions. But here are nine wonderful athletes and a half-decent manager, all of whom have filled my year with good things. Fed up with sport? Actually no. A person who is tired of sport is tired of life.
There, my friends, is a man who gets it.
