I have loads of weird feelings about the media using the word 'redemption' about athletes.

Like, Kadeena Cox is one of our greatest paralympians, she's an amazing athlete and she had a bad day on Thursday* but that doesn't mean she needed to redeem herself today. She didn't do anything wrong that she needed to make up for.

Maybe I'm being pendantic over the word choice, I dunno. I just think the media using the term redemption put this weird kind of blame on athletes.

Anyway Kadeena did amazing today with Jody Cundy and Jaco van Gass in the C1-5 750m team sprint.

(*and her disability, MS, means she often doesn't know how fit she will be for events and she's spoken about this and her mental health at length)

'D' stands for 'Delightful'. :))))))))

It's odd that I'd be into the Middle Aged Dave rather than the late adolescent one (Dave mentioned that he took time off from music when he was 25). Maybe because the former has made me laugh more? Or could it be that I'm one of those lucky humans that isn't drawn towards danger (or those who come across as aggressive?).

(I also consider that the reason might be because I didn't really listen to much grunge, and more was into alternative rock. Then realised it was about Dave's parenting skills. How he actually is not only the one who gets his girls ready for school, he also drops them off.)

PS: Why do I feel like something was missing from Greg's story? There seems to be a set-up lacking for the "It's Natural!" punchline. Was Greg and Laurie giggling as they left the set ahead of Helena?

-----------------

Highlight:

Greg: We had someone....Laurie, the first AD, operate a fart machine...just off to my right here so we could have the occasional subtle breaking of wind from Helena while she's holding me hostage in the toilet. And I was doing a scene, he was getting trigger-happy it was ridiculous. I was trying to do lines and it was ---

[Greg emulates the sounds of rapid fire farting. Graham titters.]

Greg: It was bloody ridiculous. So, in the end I had to stop acting and looked over at him. And he wasn't pressing the button.

[The guests laugh.]

Greg: I went...I looked behind me and it's Process Margaret going off like a tugboat behind me.

[More laughter. Graham tilts on his chair.]

Greg: Genuinely farting. I'd just only got over the shock that Helena Bonham Carter said yes to my thing. And then she was farting within feet of me. And I turned around and I went: "Helena!" And she found it so funny. She found her own farting, which was magnificent, by the way...

[Kadeena cackles.]

Greg: She found her own farting so funny she then wet herself.

[Sophie's jaw is on the floor. After a moment she recovers and cracks a smile.]

Sophie: My goodness.

Greg: And had to leave the set. And while she was leaving the set, she was shouting at the top of her voice: "It's all natural! It's all natural!"
