anyone watching ?apparently we are doing quite well.
feel a bit bad for the swimmer who won a medal though i saw her interview and she complained of the other swimmers grabbing her feet.she was totaly over whelmed at winning and in the interview she swore.there is more courage at that rather than she won the event.
well done to all the paticipents.

Biggest load of twaddle going on at the moment! Why this country wants to spend 9.3 billion pounds hosting the next Olympics is beyond me. I thought that we had cash starved Hospitals and Schools so where did Mr Brown find £9.3B? Down the back of the sofa??

| Dont be so churlish GTB its not often we do well at any international sport nowadays so lets bask in little in the glory of what GREAT Britain is acheiving over there and debate the cost of London 2012 a bit later in the year. This athletes whilst no longer amateur in the true sense of the word dedicate their whole lives to winning this medals so good on them. |
