Straight to the POINT

THE competitors might have won medals, but for me the biggest winner was Japan. It not only managed to stage an Olympics in the midst of a pandemic, but delivered one of the best ones ever. I award it gold.

EVERY competitor was magnificent whether they won a gold or didn’t get a medal. The Olympics was a true demonstration of

competitiveness, dedication, effort and bravery.

WHY do people say ‘outages’ instead of power cuts? I also wince when I hear empowered, cancelled and ‘skeduled’.
