"While hotels, restaurants and taxis did a booming business in Athens, the sex-trade workers did not. Prostitution is legal and highly regulated in Greece, but sex workers complained they saw none of the boom in business experienced four years ago in Sydney, where the workers put in overtime."

Those Olympics...are they over?

Thank God - the most boring and over-hyped and over-written "sporting event" evcer. Thank Christ it only happens once every four yeares. And these muscle-bound boys n gals want more government money so they can buy more steroids?

Incidentally, did Canada win a gold at tiddleywinks, as well as canoeing?

Now eight hours further behind on Coronation Street...
