One of the highlights of this summer was Katie Taylor's
historically awe-inspiring win in London 2012 Olympics.
While I've never been a fan of boxing - it's just too close to blatantly violent behaviour for me - it's hard not to be a serious fan of Katie and the determination, zeal and all round Amazonian brilliance of the woman. Yes, truly, a refreshing role model.
Therefore when this item appeared on the "pester list" over the summer in our house, there didn't seem to be a whole pile of reasons (thank you Argos for making it cheaply possible) not to succumb. Some dodgy drilling and a lot of grunting and lifting and there it was - on the wall of our front room.
Well, you have to admit, it is a change from your usual run-of-the- mill wall art.
And the violence is vented on a punchbag rather than a person.
Boxing gloves and all, it's keeping a few of the bored members of the family occupied.
Even women who should, at this stage, have more sense, are having a go.
A fine way to vent some frustration.
Katie, you have a lot to answer for.

Hehe, brilliant!
Katie Taylor is fantastic, though. It's great to see how she is with her fans, too. Always humble, always has loads of time for them.
Poetry in motion, Mari, and it beats duffing up your sibling any day. I'm not sure this house will manage a punch bag but we might hang up a pillow or two. DX
Paul - Katie is a wonderful sportswoman, great role model.
Debbie - sibling duffing up has thankfully reduced since it arrived x
Thanks for finally writing about > "The influence of Katie Taylor" < Liked it!

Nice to have a role model not hidden behind a few layers of make-up with real hear and reasonably sized eye-lashes.
Good one Mari! Always takes a woman to change attitudes....
Olive - Katie is very refreshingly herself! Hope all well with you
Eileen - here's to girl power!
Do not tell falsehoods in an interview. The interviewer might look into your information, which can lead to you being disqualified. Even if the interviewer doesn't double check everything you say,play bazaar claiming that you have a skill or knowledge that you do not have can come back to haunt you.satta king
