LESSON 21
bored – boring

Tim: Sue, did you see the javelin final? Petra Felke threw a record 74.68 metres. It was brilliant!

Sue: But the javelin is so boring! All that waiting after each throw. Now what about the marathon? When does it start?

Tim: The marathon? That has got to be the most boring thing in the Games. Two hours of watching runner after runner go by...

Sue: Hmph! You wouldn't be bored if you were running, Tim.

Hugh: Boring, boring, everything is boring. Nothing is interesting or exciting any more. Olympic games? Boring. Javelin? Mildly boring. Marathon? Really boring. Oh, I'm so bored watching all these people run and jump and throw things. I'm bored sitting in front of the telly hour after hour, day after day. I'm bored eating peanuts all the time. I'm bored drinking lager all the time. Of course, it wouldn’t be boring if I were running myself. It wouldn’t be boring if I were jumping. And it wouldn’t be boring if I were throwing things… Let me just throw this empty can of lager out of the window… Oops.
