Olympics

Sir Chris Hoy an absolute legend.

Getting a bit boring now, another Gold, tell me something interesting.....
Lets hope we really kick on from here into the next games and beyond.

22 golds is a superb effort. It's a pity Victoria Pendleton couldn't get gold in her last race. She seemed disappointed in her post race interviews, and she seemed like she couldn't wait to give up.

I was told there is some strained relations between her and others on the team, something happened at the last olympics, not sure what exactly.

Wendy Houvenaghel is having a bit of a hissy fit on being left out of the team for the olympics

It was all laid bare on a great BBC documentary about Pendleton (if its still on iplayer its worth watching). Anyhow she started a relationship with her coach, abig no no apparently, and kept it secret. When it was outed he was taken off the coaching team. Pendleton continued to be coached by him outisde the team. Bad feeling all round. Before he and she were brought back in from the cold.

Ah, is that what its called these days!

I try it later.....

hello dear fancy a bit of coaching tonight?

I bet it doesn't work!

Women's hockey, NZ v Holland, penalty shoot out. Some of those Dutch lasses are quite...ummm....fit.

I'm now up to 90% dirty old man.

Dutch girls win the penalty shoot out and are currently indulging in what appears to be lesbian activity on the pitch.

Where's my mac?

The Daily Express ran a Team GB gold celebration edition after yesterday's haul. Unfortunately they put a picture of the Dutch Dressage team on the paper instead of the GB Team-

Express left Orange Faced

You've a long way to go Garry. As a professional perv I've labelled these Olympics the "camel toe games". All that tight fitting gear has been quite an, err, revelation. You have to be a keen spotter though and can't let your vigilence slip for one minute as I'm assuming that the Beeb has a "camel toe" editor as the finest shots never appear on the replays.

Honestly that's not as pervy as it sounds, it's just I'm an admirer of the human form and it's just research really

It wouldn't have happened if Diana had still been with us...

PS I quickly flicked the TV on to see the Dutch hockey team in some slow motion replays- very nice

Camel toe? One of those Eastern European Weightlifters had something closer to a Moose Knuckle.

Yes Charlie.

Research. Of course it is.

Actually, everyone goes on about this being the best Olympics ever, but as well as top performances, there have also been some very attractive young ladies from all over the globe.

Perhaps more 'research' is needed.

Does this help-

Sort of Olympics related, I am developing a passion for Sophie Rayworth.

GB women losing 2-0 to Argentina, in second half.

Neither side matches the Dutch, if you know what I mean.

Muse are playing the closing gig, might watch it now. I bet Robbie Williams is still on the bill along with Elton John and Take That

Not bothered about camel toes, but there's definately someone on 'lunchbox' editing duties.

Argentinian women indulging in lesbian activity on the pitch is somehow not as attractive as the Dutch.

GB lost 2-1 by the way.

Always good to hear the dulcit tones of Barry Davies..

"Just look at his face! Just look at his face!"

"And where was the German defence? but quite frankly who cares!"

Men's hockey team featured Robbie Williams at right back and Darren Purse playing central defence apparently.

That's where the Argyle connection ends - at least the hockey team scored two.

Been lucky enough to be in the Olympic Park this week watching the Athletics and the place is amazing. The atmosphere all around the park is contagious. A great, great sporting event. Such a contrast to see the humbling dedication of these athletes and then compare them to Cowan-Hall's Twitter feed and the assumption that any footballer is royalty.
