Nice to see this grossly unpopular govt riding on the wave of Team GBs' success. Like they had anything to do with it.
Nice to watch Dispatches last might to see where the govt really allows the nations' money to go.

if the govt had invested in sports development programmes instead of wasting it on the olympics bid maybe we do better in 4 years time  |

dunno if this has been mentioned but 2 of the medallists in Beth Tweddle's gymnastics event are being investigated after documents looked to prove that they were under 16 which would give her the silver medal

That's where French people live ..... that your best argument is it? if you're in any other city in this country, except London, travelling to Paris for the games is no more difficult than going to London  |

And a decent tailor...the other two representatives at the flag hand-over ceremony looked immaculate...Boris looked like a school prefect who couldn't be arsed to set an example. And I let the side down at our house by being all patriotic and proud, even cheering on Boris. Sorry chaps  I was too...but we both agreed that as much as we prefer Boris to Ken, the man is a buffoon! A genius and a buffoon in equal measure, granted...but a buffoon nonetheless! ;D |

None of the female chinese gymnasts (deliberate lack of capitalisation there as I'm protesting by the way) looked like they'd seen their 14th let alone their 16th birthdays. |
