Ass bath?


My morning wake up routine includes sitting on the sofa with a bowl of cereal watching the sports headlines on the Beeb 1, generally these are brought to us by Chris Hollins.

This mornings report however had something a bit extra.

He was reporting on the accommodation that the athletes will be staying in in Beijing. Nice big hotel, contemporary fixtures and fittings, 2 lovely looking beds, generously appointed bathroom, well, we call it a bathroom but it doesn't have a bath. Now, according to Chris Hollins, that won't be good for Paula Radcliffe as she apparently likes to take an 'ass bath' or 2. Chris, the professional that he is soon put us straight and let us know that it isn't an 'ass bath' that she likes, it is in fact an 'ice bath'. He then proceeded to apologise to the viewers.

With Paula Radcliffes reputation of weeing and pooing I would have thought an 'ass bath' would actually be required as well.

That's it. Thanks for watching.
