The Team GB girls were in bikinis yesterday. Rack that up to home field advantage, for the spectators at least. Our girls are used to the UK climate Other than the obvious attraction, it was quite a sight yesterday watching the Team GB volleyball girls beating Canada... on a beach created in the middle of a London street with historic buildings and the London Eye in the background. NOT a sight I thought I'd ever see!!

I'm surprised the athletes from Greece can afford *any* clothing at this point.

Before all of Greece's events the Greek Prime Minister appears with a hat which gets passed around the crowd.

Does he ever get the hat back?

No wonder Angela Merkle was mumbling about having to catch up with Romney to return his yamaka

Saw some lovely clean snatches in the Olympics this evening.
Those weightlifters must really train hard.

That reminds me ... Simon, here's a little something you & PK might want to consider if you have a break in between watching the other athletes ...

Thought the British men gymnasts got fucked after Japan protested. If you listen to pissing and moaning you better get ready to hear a shitload more of it. JMHO.

Totally agree Tex. I felt very sorry for those boys thinking they had got silver then having it snatched away from them.

After the events of yesterday and today with Jessica Ennis, Mo Farah, Greg Rutherford, Andy Murray et al I do believe that Great Britain has won the Olympics. And tonight Jamaica came in a dazzling second.
Owned.

Some say that Federer, forgetting that this wasnt badminton, threw the Gold Medal match in an attempt to get a better draw in the next round of the competition.

Off into London now to meet up with Paul Katcher to watch the Canada Vs USA women's football semi-final over a beer or two.
It's annoying that my train will take me right past the Olympic park, with a clear view of the stadium, as it heads into London but it is next to impossible to get tickets. I'll snap a picture or two as I go past.

Simon, if you're going to insist on using that display name, then the least you can do is to pair it with the appropriate avatar:

Be sure to sign up for the 4x100 Jerk Chicken run, the participants run across the grounds from one potential location to other potential locations trying to find and claim the last piece of jerk chicken.
