London Olympics

[Hemi]

Has anyone else been following the Olympics?  We're 12 hours ahead of GMT so I'm averaging 4 hours of sleep as I try and watch every event.

My favourite new sport… Handball!

[Giles]

Madame B and I are watching a load.  Loving the Swimming, The Beach Volleyball (well I am ??? :-X) and will see if Brad can get a gold in the time trial this afternoon…..

I'd like to watch Ping Pong. Volleyball, Beach Volleyball, and gymnastics are really taking a toll on my mental health.

Swimming and track are the biggies for me

[Hemi]

I watched that rowing Giles, we got a Bronze.

I love the run fast, jump high, throw far, lift something heavy, punch someone in the nose, hold someone down sports… the classics!

[Giles]

Unfortunately, about all we are good at is "the sitting-down sports"…....

[MikeC]

I love athletic women…..

[Giles]

So we get from "sitting down sports" to "I love athletic women" - I think I know what you are trying to say….

Mo Farah for gold in the men's 10,000m. fingers crossed

Gonna get a sneaky live feed going on for the men's cycling TT now

Looks like Wiggins takes the gold

[Giles]

He does.  But those gold thrones are sooooooooooo tacky…..

Hopefully someone will buy him a straight edge razor for those horrible burns…

Fuck, he is a Ginger? Who would even noticed with those wretched mounds of hair on the side of his face?

Wiggins has to keep the burns. I liked his little RAF / Mod insignia on his helmet too.

Good ride from Martin for silver. Congrats to our German board members.

[Giles]

I'm with you.  He is a beautifully "I don't give a shit what you think" kind of guy.  Look at his speech when winning the Tour for instance.  He is also Great Britain's most successful Olympian, that in it self should allow him to what the feck he wants, when he wants, where he wants.

OK, not in the same league as Phelps, but for little old GB, we pretty proud and will forgive him a lot

He still needs a barber.

[Giles]

Won't happen…..

Surprisingly, water polo has been the attention grabber for me. Along with beach volleyball and volleyball of course..;)

But really, where is soccer and basketball?!
