Hell hath no fury etc. Canadian TV are to run a series on the trials and tribulations of a Canadian ex-patriate living in London. The men in Blighty were apparently "too polite, too repressed and too misogynist."
English men are useless – and here's the TV series to prove it
I wonder what a polite misogynist is like?
Somehow I can't see a similar programme about Canadian men being commissioned over here.

I was a young lad when the Seoul Olympics were on and remember seeing Ben Johnson and Flo-Jo storm down the home strait. Then being taught about drugs and what they were.
Why athletics can only keep believing
Ben Johnson was always a bit of a decent drug cheat; arrogant, a bit menacing. It was, I guess, obvious, as with the old Eastern Bloc athletes who still hold the middle distance records.
Drug cheats these days seem far more media savvy; I was genuinely disappointed with Justin Gatlin and to an extent Marion Jones. They seemed decent, hard-working athletes and "nice people".
And so there'll be hints and allegations and no doubt people caught this year as we come up to the Olympics.
I love this sport; to be honest I get more out of a decent competition than seeing the highest, fastest, longest. So I'll keep believing no matter what.
