Interview with a cretin

Having no interest in pretty much anything and in tandem with the fact i am a miserable, pedantic sod i thought i would waste some time pretending i had interviewed a team GB athlete from the 2012 Olympics.

Here is my pretend interview with a pretend person:

AL: Well you just missed out on qualification for the final of this event, what are your initial thoughts.
GB: You know, gutted you know, its, you know, gutting.

AL: It certainly looked like you were in with a shout until the last few seconds, that must be a huge disappointment?
GB: Yeah, no, yeah. Well obviously i gave it my all, you know and you know it just wasnt erm, enough you know, obviously. I gave 110% you know but, you know, it like just wasnt enough.

AL: You cant give 110%, 100% is the most you can give surely?
GB: Yeah, 110%.

AL: The crowd certainly got behind you what was the atmosphere like?
GB: Wow, you know, the crowd were like, you know amazing. You know, obviously you cant hear anything you know, you know, it was so loud, amazing.

AL: Still, those 4 years of hard work got you to the Olympics. Yours has been a story of tragedies, like when you dropped your car keys down a grate and also when you left your washing out in the rain and it got a bit damp.
GB: Yeah, you know, obviously i still cant believe i made it, you know, its like you know, a dream come true, you know.

AL: Any thoughts on retirement or will you be going for Rio 2016?
GB: You know, obviously i need to rest you know, obviously, and be with my family you know, they've been like amazing you know. Obviously, you know it depends on how much they pay me for sitting on my backside in the jungle for a fortnight. You know.

AL: Are you actually capable of stringing together sentence that actually means something?
GB: .....?????

AL: You're a bit thick arent you?
GB: Obviously.

Etc..........
