I think I may be in love - with Laura Robson !

I know it's not right - in dog years I'm old enough to be her Dad - and yes I am a big,four-legged hairy fella - but she's gorgeous . . .

Just thought u should know, sorry, x.

P.S;  Did u watch the Paralympics opening ceremony ?  Yeah, brilliant, inspirational! x.

The London 2012 Paralympic Games start tonight !?  I'm so excited, even though I don't know much about them . . .

Still, I don't know too much about most things, but I still enjoy them.  'Jack of all trades, master of none' is a humanoid phrase I think - it may be appropriate . . .  Bloody raining 'cats & dogs' today by the way, definitely inappropriate for the opening ceremony.

It's all on C4 too - how weird !  I assume the BBC blew their budget on the Olympic coverage, not that I'm a business analyst or anything - I am just a dog remember . . .

Simon Gotobed,  Lovin' it again from tonight,  xx.

Pa's going to a funeral today - I'm not allowed to attend due to my inability to keep still - bouncing is apparently not acceptable in Church, Chapel or even cemetarys. . .

I don't know who's died, I assume they're humanoid - I don't think Pa would have a day off for a cat or a goldfish say . . . I wonder if he would for my big last day ?  Let's not think about it.

I'm hoping Robbie Williams can attend though - I want everyone to bounce, bounce, bounce !

Off for a kip now - enjoy your day if u can, or if it's appropriate . . . Simon G,  xx.

One small step for man, one giant leap for Dog-kind. . . .

Simon Gotobed, 2012.

xxx.

If u were wondering where I've been, let's just say I've been keeping a low profile . . .

Some embarrassing pics have been leaked - apparently I'm all over the internet - & now I'm front page news - how the hell did that happen ???

It's ludicrous really, I never wear any clothes anyway . . . maybe I should start wearing a pair of pants when I go out, u know, Superman style . . . what do u think ?

I'll leave it with u over the weekend - have a good one & keep your clothes on! - it's dangerous out there !

Simon G,  XXX.

I'm feeling ruff !!!

I've been in the surgery over the weekend with a bladder infection - I got out last night.  I think I must be getting old, but I still don't appreciate being prodded & poked . . .

I was bored stupid too - I didn't get any visitors - my humanoid family must have been too busy !?

I made a joke and gave a wave to the Persil-folks when I left, but I'm really not happy.

Just thought I should let u know, just in case u wondered where I'd been - did u miss me ?  Does anyone care ?

Simon Gotobed,  Old English fella,  getting older day by day,  xxx. 

Pa's mountain bike is back in the shed with two flat tyres, and it's raining here (no cats & dogs involved as far as I can see) . . . his Olympic inspiration is all but forgotten already . . .

The Good Snooze ?  Footy starts again tomorrow !  I'm predicting a Manchester Premiership win - that's all I can say for today.

Have a fun Weekend humanoids,  Simon G,  Old English fella,  xx.

I feel quite sorry for the Duke of Edinburgh - he seems to be in & out of hospital quite a bit this year . . .

I wonder if they prod & poke him like they do me when I pay a visit to my surgery - and check the remainder of his boy-bits - all very unnecessary I'm sure . . . still, he's not getting any younger, a bit like me except I'm an Old English fella.  What's Pip ?  Scottish, Greek, German ?  Who knows !

Lord knows who'll look after all those awards for young humanoids whilst he's in hospital . . .

Have a brill day, it's nearly the Weekend - apparently that's great news if you're a working humanoid - I don't have time for work - far too busy !  Catch u soon,  Simon G,  xx.

Great, just about sums up my day - it's starting to bloody rain !

Bored, bored, bored . . .

Phil Spencer's not returning my calls either !?

Have a good humanoid day if u can,  xx.

I think I might be ill - I may have OHS (Olympic Handover Syndrome) - I'm suddenly so tired & so bored.  It was so bad last night that I watched Eastenders three times . . . that can't be good for me surely !

I reckon the only real solution is to relocate to Rio & enjoy their Olympic built-up - for four years ?!
I'm going to try to get hold of Phil & Kirsty today on C4, just to get some relocation tips.

Have a brill day if u can,  Simon G, OHS, PhD, OMG,  xxx.

Well that's it then for another four years - roll on Rio !

My London 2012 Legacy . . . well I still don't own a bike, I'll never fit in a canoe, I'd look ridiculous waxed & spray-tanned wearing tiny pants, I can't grow side-burns, I can't run very far, or very fast, and I get knackered just watching . . . but, bloody hell, it was fantastic - brilliant - marvellous - unbelieveable - wonderful !

That's all folks as Bugs Bunny used to say, for now anyway.

Simon Gotobed, Time for a kip to sleep off his Olympic hangover,  xx.

I'm starting training for Rio 2016 next week - I think Boxing could be my event !

I'm a south-Paw, I'm planning to braid my floppy ears back & then hopefully watch Rocky 1 to 5 over the weekend - perfect Olympic preparation I reckon . . .

My deed-poll application didn't go ahead by the way, I couldn't find the form - completing it & posting it was going to be far too tricky anyway - I can't lick stamps either, I just swallow them . . .

So I'm not going to be Simon Usain GotoBolt after all, shame really.  xx.

Good morning everyone, sorry I've been absent this week, just been a bit busy watching Team GB - morning, noon & night I think u might say !

I'm a bit worried the Gold-rush has slowed but I'm sure there's more to come.

I'm off for a quick swim now, then a few miles on the bike, then a dash round the park . . . I bloody wish !  I'm knackered & sweaty just watching the goggle-box - & that's what I'm planning to do all day again today - my Olympic legacy may just be a fat arse and sweaty front armpits - not quite what Seb had in mind I'd guess.

Anyway, have a brill day,  Simon Gotobed,  Old English bone-idle Fella,  xx.

I'm changing my name by deed poll to Simon Usain GotoBolt . . .

Nothing more needs to be said.

Oh, apart from huge congratulations to Jess, Mo, Greg, Big Ben, Andy M & all the rest of the fabulous TeamGB.  xx.

Have a brill Monday humanoids, hopefully another Golden Day.

I've got bigger back-legs than Sir Chris Hoy . . . shame I don't own a bike. . .

Not sure I'd fit into a canoe either . . .

You'll probably be pleased to know I don't own a shotgun either . . .

What a day !  I'm off to practice my stroke on Pa's rowing machine, he's gone to work in a taxi today ?  I think he left his bike at work yesterday . . . it was raining I suppose . . . lightweight I'd say if I dare !?

Simon Gotobed,  Daily Olympic Updates,  xx.

GB Golden day yesterday !  You heard it here first remember . . .

Today I've managed to dip my floppy ears in some food colouring I sniffed-out in the kitchen - I now have tikka side-burns !

Pa's gone to work on his bike . . .

Simon Gotobed,  London 2012 Super-Pundit,  xx.

If I don't make the Gymnastics Team I've decided to learn to ride a horse - how hard can it be ?  I'll look great in a hard hat, I can just fold my floppy ears under and off we go.  I'm not entirely sure I'll get my hairy back legs into a pair of jodhpurs though . . . I may need a big horse too, do u think Shire horses can jump ?

Zara & I could be heading for Rio 2016 !  Cool.

Back to the goggle-box for now, a busy day ahead - rowing, Wiggo's time-trial, more gymnastics (I may pick up a few tips), Footy and swimming . . . I'm exhausted just thinking about it !

Hope it's a Golden GB Day !?  Simon Gotobed,  Lovin' it!  xx.
