Good point, @avclub-a9365bd906e11324065c35be476beb0c:disqus . Now, if only Bach had written All Along The Watchtower, we'd be getting somewhere…

Men wearing kilts is clearly an awesome thing. It always swelled my little feels-Scottish-even-though-it-was-born-in-Brighton heart when I was living in England and spotted an odd man in a kilt at a wedding.

Ah, four athletics guys. Okay, must have just missed them being in the news for it at some point. Maybe we brush it under the carpet instead? In which case, that's not a good thing.

This article makes me realise that perhaps I'm glad the UK aren't traditionally heavily involved in track and field. Doping scandals? Disqualifications? I'm sure there have been some in our Olympic history, but I honestly can't bring any to mind right now…
