Olympic Meddle

Ring, Ring. Hullo, Who’s Dare?

Rings a bell, doesn’t it? These are called butt-end reels in the newspaper trade. I saw three of them lying around near a printer and realised if I added two more from around the corner, I’d have the Olympic rings. Clearly an example of me moving my, er, butt. And if you’ll allow me to twist Baron Pierre Baron de Coubertin’s original Latin motto for the Olympic Games (``Citius, Altius, Fortius’’ – or ``faster, higher, stronger’’) this shot is a case of ``Citius, Altius, Fortuitous’’.
