London Olympics

Beach Volleyball is bloody aweful… not enough freak factor for me!

[RocknRoll]

How about badminton - that certainly had some freak factor!

[Hemi]

Nope, not even close… I wanna see women with square jaw bones and big muscles!

[Giles]

Ah, the good old days….

I think the badminton reference was to the bans for trying to lose

Trying to lose is one thing but a pair balls dropping out of your skirt is quite something else!

The indoor cycling is fucking awesome!

[Giles]

Not for Pendleton and Co it's not…...

Proud day for New Zealand - 3 Golds in the Rowing!

[RocknRoll]

Sweet as!

Rowing is awesome.  As a recreational level user of a rowing machine, I have only the slightest experience with how brutal the sport is; those athletes are amazing.

As a side note, I love watching the less mainstream sports.  Seriously, stuff like pursuit cycling and water polo just fascinate me.  I've been meaning to catch some team handball, too.

Watched a bit of trampolining earlier…......

[Giles]

A reasonable night in the velodrome then.  Up to third in the medal rankings - WOW…..

GB def doing good so far…

About to watch "our Becky", as everyone in Mansfield has taken to calling her  :-\

Wait, seriously.. ???

[Seul]

Yeah: they seriously don't do it naked… Couldn't believe it either...

Asked my housemate if we'd won any more medals, he finishes earlier than I do generally.

"Yes, all in events you sit down for. Apart from the shooting, even that was stationary."
