Nah, I don't doubt he just wanted to be with them. He's referred to as a national hero. He probably just assumed that they would make an exception for him. 5 olympics and a world championship... I'd probably have assumed the same.

I'd think the ego is likely considering he's referred to as a national hero. 5 Olympics appearances, a former world champion... you'd think he's know better.

The statement given by his teams Committee: "Mr. Collins departure is down to his repeated absences from training sessions and also for refusing to respond to repeated phone calls and emails by team manager and coaches," the Committee said in the statement. "Furthermore, Mr. Collins did not make an appearance for…

No love for Blast!?

I think Craig Ferguson summed up the appeal of Doctor Who quite well in his cold opening of his Doctor Who special.

So you're saying I shouldn't be handing out pitchforks and stockpiling buckets of tar and raising chickens for the feathers. Well, there goes my summer fun.

I love the USA network. Monk, Psych, Burn Notice... But as you pointed out, they don't do sci-fi so it's really a non-starter.

Yeah, forgot I overlooked Syfy. 3 years, and I still haven't come to accept the Syfy moniker so I keep overlooking it in conversations.

If it's picked up by Fox it'll be awesome and last 6 episodes. If it's picked up NBC it'll be terrible and last for 7 years.

The whole Frankenpenis movie... just wow. Didn't even know it existed, and now I wish I still didn't.

!. Carrie - as unnecessary as the Psycho remake from years past. Then again, I thought the original was overrated so I'm likely not the best judge.

My login email for live.com is my gmail account, so when I sent email from outlook.com it's actually sending mail from my gmail account. A bit confusing.

A celebration of all things British and yet not one appearance from Britain's national treasure, Stephen Fry. How absurd.

According to the leaked playlist of music for the opening ceremony there was supposed to be further music after Sir Paul finished that celebrated British telly including Monty Python and the Doctor Who theme. They overran on timing apparently and finished with Sir Paul. A good ending, but disappointing for we fans of…

They may not have been able to hit a barn, but thanks to their eye movement they were crack shots at the carnival shooting at the ducks.
