[about an hour later] >>Bernard is really trying my patience today >>He's all up in arms about Allyson Felix getting silver because of Shaunae Miller's dive >>I pointed out it's a legal move, one of the US runners used it for qualifications >>Not to mention the US runner in the men's 400m in 2008 did the same thus medaling over the runner from Bahamas as opposed to difference between gold and silver >>Apparently it's 'different' this time though >>Bloody hypocrite
[thirty minutes later] >>Now women's gymnastics is being discussed >>I'm apparently given a pass for pulling for Amy Tinkler as I'm British >>But because I'm now in America I really should be pulling for team USA >>Specifically Simone Biles as she is the three time world champion and Aly Raisman got gold already on floor exercise >>Even when I say her actions in London have endeared her to me that shouldn't matter >>It's as if you cannot acknowledge the brilliance of one and know that they are the favourite to win while still pulling for another
[forty five minutes later] >>Tea selection today is very disappointing

[Texts to Kitty] >>Do you have any menial tasks you would like me to send Bernard on for you? >>I'm punishing him for being an insufferable hypocrite.
