Olympics

Well done Mo!!!

Great poem.

Hooray for Mo! Well done that amazing man!

Biting my nails now - metaphorically of course - for Tom Daley, about to start the diving final. C'mon, Tom!

for Mo. Now.... Good Luck Tom.

Tom diving on freeview 7 in a short while.

Have you all got your fingers crossed ladies?

A hell of a lot of pressure on a young lad. Hope he can keep his nerves the Chinese look very good.

Thank goodness I have Freeview on the TV because my Virgin digi-box has gone completely doolally today.

Everything is crossed here

Good luck Tom!

OH's blood pressure just returned to normal after Mo's race, what a fantastic man (well, I meant Mo, but OH is pretty fantastic as well )

Good re-dive from Tom. Wish the blasted cameraman did'nt follow him though. Time to give him space, he's obviously uptight.

Idiots that use flash! They do the same at Wimbledon. I wonder if someone has ever asked for a 'let' to be played because of flash distraction.

Blimey I am going dizzy. Trying to pull in the Gold Medal boxing on freeview 301. EnglanD Gold or Silver.?

Another GOLD for team G.B. in the boxing.

Thanks POGS for keeping us informed. I'm hooked on the diving.

A BRONZE FOR TOM Brilliant.

Well done Tom. A very well deserved medal.

So pleased to see our local lad Tom Daley has won a Bronze Medal. Brilliant!!!!!

Good lad, Tom! Well done.

Do you all think we can stay in third place on the medals table?

How fantastic would that be?

Well done to Tom Daley! And isn`t it nice to see a bronze medal winner so pleased with his medal? I`ve got to sick of seeing blokes sulking because all they wanted was gold. Any medal at the Olympics is something to be proud of.

Tom is a delightful young man, sooo pleased for him tonight, what nerve wracking stuff though watching it all! Good luck to him with his A levels now and here's hoping he has fun and a good holiday with his family.
Also well done to all the other medallists today. What will we do next week when it's all over?

Get a bit of work done, instead of sitting down every few minutes to watch something in the Olympics!

The poem, BTW, is called "Translating the British".

Won't it be odd, next week, not to have all these waves of excitement? Not to mention even more excuses for a little sit down!

Withdrawal symptoms loom.

Oh Jess, I can't believe it's coming to a close. It's as if it's been on forever; we were seeing things last night that happened a week ago and we couldn't believe it was only a week. Thorpy's been out again this past couple of days and, according to the beeb this morning it isn't just me that's in love with him..he's now an honorary Brit I think. I'll miss seeing Gabby Logan each night with 'The Magnificent Seven' and 'Big Ben'. Not to mention Spandau Ballet's 'Gold' which I now can't get out of my head. I'm so, so proud of being British and hope the world now sees us for what we are; fun loving, warm friendly people [also described by a friend from Southern Ireland who worked in London for a while when he was young as 'the most tolerant people on the planet']. I seem to be constantly blinking back tears, not only from watching things but thinking back to previous events. Even the sun has shone ! Wonderful.
