A Golden Legacy (There Is Hope)

Photobucket
Lass fantastic Jess Ennis

Heres some free advice from an old tooth to the younger lambs: forget the idiot reality television, the hideous 'Towie' creatures and plank pop stars. Put down thy warm bottles of WKD and give up your spot on street corners with the louts and look at the photo above. Jessica Ennis is your new role model.
If there is to be any worthwhile legacy from these London 2012 olympic games, then it must be that Britain's young will look to Ennis, Farah and the reast of Team GB, switch off the television and get out and start chasing their dreams. You can achieve whatever you want to in this life, you really can. Just look at the photographs plastered all over the newspapers to see the evidence. Or better still count the Gold medals. Who needs the foul Jordan and Jodie Marsh when you have real role models aplenty in Team GB?
I admit I went into these games with the black dog of doubt snapping at my heels, believing the only winners and legacy from them would be big buisness and lardy politicians buttering their own bread. And this is still true of course but now after witnessing the success of our spunky athletes, I can see something more special being brewed: inspired youth.
