Sporting qualities of the true British Gent.

Good evening all you sun drenched Judges,
Well I wish we were unforetunately it looks like the weathermen seemed to have gotten a couple of things wrong with the forecasts of late. We were promised a week of sun and of course temperatures that would rival late April in the Med. How wrong it's been... cloudy and is it just me ,or has it been rather chilly?. Mind you, I have to say the other weekend when the weather was glorious, I donned my trainers, shorts, ipod, and not to forget my Oakleys and did my first run in the open for some time.
So with the Olympics coming in August are you getting the buzz with yet, what with more of us spending a small fortune on Kit and Gym's. Local councils doing more to get people to use local facilities it seems in the past few years we Brit's are shunning a few hours a week in front of the gogglebox and the trappings of modern world to get back to some good old endorphin rich sports.
Is this because of events like the Olympics or is it just body fascisim gone mad and we are all trying to set our body's to a new fitness level?. I say, who care's for the reson we all know that doing some form of activiity that is above our normal heartrate is good for us.
One company that is taking it to the extremes in more ways than one is the company Oakley. The company began back in 1975 and has grown to be the suplier of all forms of sporting eyewear. The sports they cater for range from high adreniline sports such as motorsports,bmxing, snowboarding, and sailing. To the more sedate sports of bowling, running and not to forget that increasingly popular sport of shooting. ( One of our customers and someone who is very close to the website insists that his Oakleys have improved his shooting and with interchangeable lenses he is never with them).
Oakley began life in the garage of it's founder Jim Jannard with only $300 of backing determined to create Oakley shades the market leader and push boundaries in ways no other company had before. It took Jim 17 long years to create the O shape that pushed the company to the heady heights of success and become every sportsmans most prized piece of equipment.
Today Oakley supplies not only Oakley sunglasses, Oakley Eyewear but also clothing making the company one of the best and biggest sporting brands in the world. Oakley sponsor major sporting events and sports stars alike, this year they are sponsoring the US team for the Olympics and many other countries alike.
So come on Judges lets get the heartrates up and get pumping that tarmac
Keep em peeled for the torch and those medals and all that is left for me to say is good luck to the whole of the British Olympic squad and keep the gold for us .
And hey, you never know cash for gold may ask you for their next ad!
Regards The Judge
