Just heard that Tom Daley preserves serenity by knitting and crochet.
Perhaps Miss Biles should try it.

Joe Marler...don't know her but why not.

I was taught to knit when I was in Moorfields eye hosp in about 1960. Patients not allowed to sit around doing nothing.
I still have the rather baggy pair of socks that resulted.

I don't wear them too often. Self-lowering socks somehow short of sex appeal.

I see Simone Biles is getting back into the competition by participating in the beam exercise tomorrow. I hope her head is OK, it's always struck me as an extremely dangerous event. Takes guts to do it even when feeling OK

Doesn't that depend on who's wearing the self-lowering socks ;)

When a man says he's going to do something, he's going to do it!

He doesn't need reminding every six months......

Yes and she got the bronze medal. Must be pretty pleased with that.
