Scotsman, Englishman and an Irishman go to the games, but they have no tickets.
The Scotsman notices material left over from construction of the Olympic villiage, picks up a manhole cover, puts it under his arm, walks up to security at the gate and says...
" Jock McTavish, Scotland, Discus" and walks in.
Englishman sees this and picks up a length of scaffold and says....
" Nigel Pilkington-Smythe, England, Pole vault" and walks in.
The Irishman not to be outdone, picks up a roll of barbed wire and says.....
Bill Phillips: Well there you are then...we are going to Belmont Priory today as it is open as part of the national heritage weekend and looks interesting. I might get a two week series out of it
And you jumped over the fence? Oh, I recall the sad situation of the Chinese sprinter who did hurt his Achilles's tendon after the first jump ... I hope you are well after having dived into this watery paradise...
Bill Phillips: It is always sad when an athlete has an injury like that. all the work preparing gone in a split second.
Bill Phillips: It was an old Englishman Irishman Scotsman joke about the Olympics

Thinking Olympics and then thinking fencing then thinking. Your image, I thought, immediately of pole vaulting and then I read you response to EBV. I think I either have to get out of bed a lot earlier or better still just stay in bed.
Bill Phillips: It is a very old joke and I recommend staying in bed...but not today because it is going to be warm and sunny and we are going out for the day in a few minutes time
A remarkable photo Bill in that everything seems to be extremely sharp and in focus! But not as remarkable as you describing Tiff as a very decent human being!
Bill Phillips: Well he is really he just hides it well
