Pissed off Heroes

Rebbeca Aldington and Ben Anslie are sat in the pub reading a newspaper.

Ben : F**king Chris Hoy. I'm pissed off with the sight of him.

Rebbeca : Scottish favouritism it is.

Ben : Three gold medals I've got at three different games. That's twelve years. All I get is a f**king CBE. They may as well call it Chris' Bell End. Because that's what I feel like.

Rebbeca: Yeah well last time Kelly Homes runs round a track a few times and picks up a Dame. Me, however the greatest success in the pool for a million years and all I get is an OBE.

Ben : I don't know why we bother.

Rebbeca. : They're naming a Velodrome after him in Scotland you know.

Ben : Stupid sport anyway – Velodrome – we aren't f**king French are we.

Rebbeca : He kept on looking at my tits at the Sports Personality awards .

Ben: It's all that lycra he has to wear, makes a bloke a sex manic. Just look at the shape of his helmet.

Rebbeca : The bastard's making a fortune from public speaking. I can't get a look in.

Ben: I just hate how all those TV presenters suck up to him.

Chris Hoy enters pub.

Rebbeca : Sir Chris Welcome. Nice to see you.

Ben: Can I buy you a beer Sir Chris?

Made me chuckle did this.

I find the fawning over these "heroes" a bit much some times. I suppose the high profile gongs are all about keeping the man in the street happy.

The rowing ones really crack me up. It's a fairly minority activity yet with some of our previous Olympians it's as if the Gods have come down from on high and now walk amongst us.

I thought the dialogue was crudely executed. Also, the ending was rather obvious and not funny.

Wouldnt it be better if Chris Hoy entered the bar riding a Walls Ice cream tricycle, wearing a cape and sword

Adlington hisses "and he gets all the f**king sponsorship money too"

Yes it would! Finding that final punchline is always my problem.
