During the Olympics this summer you may have seen the BBC news reporter who is not Michael Phelps.
I know how he feels. I've taken up swimming at Pirate's gym, mostly because 2/3 of the time I show up for weight-lifting or circuits classes they get canceled due to me being the only one HARD CORE enough to show up. So I hit the pool instead.
I used to be a really slow swimmer. A really really really slow swimmer. Then I discovered the box of flippers next to the kick boards. Now, rather than praying for the wall at the opposite side of the pool, which advanced so slowly I used to fear the second coming would happen before I reached it, it rushes toward me with such rapidity that it frightens me, and I have to slow down to avoid an out-and-out crash.
"So this is what it feels like to be Michael Phelps" I thought, the first time I swam with the flippers on. "Brilliant!"
Now crowds follow me where ever I go. I can't get out of the locker room without signing autographs. Oh well. It's all part of the price of fame.

haha, in the states, he recently did an interview with Anderson Cooper on 20/20 and phelps beat him swimming underwater with no dive vs anderson swimming freestyle with a diving start.
Aquabitch! I love it. You should have your own superhero costume.
Dave: swimming pools and expensive digital cameras don't mix.
FN: that's easier. i can do that.
Vince: that's because he's half fish, and Anderson Cooper is a twat.
Farty: what makes you think i don't?
