Olympic and Paralympic parade - carnival Monday!

Here she is, queen of England Jessica Ennis with her bling...



It's thirsty work for Jess being so blimmin fit...


And Mr Mo Farah, doing the legendary Mobot.



The Team GB cyclists...


Sir Chris Hoy...


Those horsey lot, including Zara Phillips...


More Team GB track and field athletes, including Christine Ohuruogu...


Here's Iwan Thomas, taking his own pics of the day...


And the GB swimmers...


But this is the bit I really love - office workers hanging out of windows...



People of all ages, out and about with their Union Jacks...



And some wonderful outfits, it has to be said...




Long live the fun of the Olympics and Paralympics - we've loved every minute...

Oh Danny Boyle...

...Britain is singing your praises today.

We have to say we LOVED the daftery in your London 2012 Olympic extravaganza.

Mr Bean doing Chariots of Fire...



The Queen dropping in. The farmyard animals. The bouncing on the beds. Voldermort. Mary Poppins gone mad. And the part with the nurses that we don't give a MONKEYS whether the rest of the world understood or not - cos Britain LOVED IT!

So in honour of you, Mr Danny Boyle, here are a three daft film moments we've loved from you...

1) Vacuuming Completely Nude in Paradise

A thousands LOLs to this motivational sales tape scene with Timothy Spall. All you need to know to earn your commission...



2) Slumdog Millionaire - The Train Scene

Fun and colourful, chaotic and quite beautiful - this scene from Danny Boyle's Oscar winner just makes me want to get back to India and take one of those never-ending journeys, where the train is more like a festival (inside the carriages and on the roof!).



3) Trainspotting - The Toilet Scene

Surreal and grotesque and funny - stay away from the drugs kids, this could be where it ends up...

Stoke Newington gets torched...

I popped down Sainsbury's for a can of mushy peas this afternoon and I came across a bloke on a white horse...


...some dancing giants...


...some chicks with colourful feathers...


....some acrobatic types....


...and an OAP with a big flame in her hand.

"Don't do it, old woman," I cried. "It's not worth it."


...but she set fire to a bloke in broad daylight, she did, bold as anything. And everyone cheered her while she did it.


Whatever next, eh?

Of course. A large golden bottom.
