London Olympics

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.

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."

Just saw on the evening recap that the winner of the men's trampoline is a dude named " Dong".  I started snickering and my wife just rolled her eyes at me and said, "you are such a child."

[Giles]

Paula and I had a few giggles over that one too….
