Olympics

Then, of course there is the problem of me constantly putting the remote contoller down and forgetting where it is [or where 'they' are as I've got a telly on in each room]. Perhaps have them tied round my neck like glasses or one of those gardening aprons with pockets?

Alie I just made it up. The word.
Some people I know refer to the remote control as The Channeliser - in an Irish accent it sounds particularly good.

A Gold Hooray!, didn't those two do well,I was an olympic Games cynic, and now I am totally hooked.

Hooray for Bradley Wiggins!

Well done Bradley.

Jess that's what i thought.

I honestly thought it was going to be a race too far, especially as he's expended a lot of energy helping his team mates recently. Chuffed to bits for him [and us]. He's so quintessentially British in a Roy of the Rovers/ Stanley Bagshaw sort of way, isn't he!

Fantastic day for Team GB, can't tear myself away from TV, watching it all, and now Bradley......

Wigo , you are TOTALLY AWESOME MAN , A Million cheers to you . Sir ??? I have been really lucky this afternoon to see 2 super stars in their own fields , that is more than lucky . Think a libation is called for later on

Brilliant !!! Totally brilliant. And a bronze.

Both medals are brilliant, but I just couldn't watch it, I so wanted him to win. I can't imagine what it is like to be his family watching.

Well done Bradley and Chris. What a marvellous result!!

Well done those brilliant men! A gold and a bronze!

Superb result from both!

As one commentator said............."He has wings on his wheels, has Bradley Wiggins!"

Wonderful.

Rather have tea with Bradley than dinner with Boris any day of the week!
We should not forget - mens rowing 8 got a bronze.

Got home just in time to see the medal ceremony. FANTASTIC [flag

Anybody else holding their breath whilst watching the men's gymnastics?
It is so exciting.

I was holding my breath during Bradley's ride - in case some nutter jumped at him. Time to turn the gymnastics on then.

Well done Wiggy -and your mate Chris.I missed the actual finish but saw the medals ceremony.
Sportsman of the year I reckon.

Arise Sir Wiggens!

I am so pleased they have kicked out the 4 teams in the badminton. They may have technically not broken any rules but their attempt to LOOSE their game was a disgrace to the spirit of the games.

How fantastic to watch the rowing. I wonder if Heather will return to her unit in Afghanistan?. What a woman!.

How wonderful to see a clip of the soldiers in her unit cheering their heads off, POGS. A great boost for them

Yes it was, they all do us proud don't they.

I coudn't believe my eyes when I saw those badminton players NOT playing. I wonder what consequences they will face when they return home?

I must admit that thought went to my mind also.

Yet another gold, this time for Peter Wilson in the clay pigeon shooting
