Did I really just watch Paul McCartney singing along with the crowd going 'na na na na, hey Jude' at the women's team pursuit medal ceremony? Did I? Is the Olympics being as excellently weird as I would want it to be?

The New Zealand men's lightweight sculls pair gave me a moment of appreciation for lean, wiry men this morning, I must say…

I'm a Brit, though never a Londoner, and the two events are thoroughly linked in my mind because I was on a caravan holiday and hadn't heard the news about the Olympics until I went into a shop the next day. Just as I was picking up a newspaper with a celebrating Trafalgar Square on the front page, the radio reported…
