Olympics **Spoilers**

I don't know if it's been mentioned in previous posts in this thread but i'm going to mention it. I'm sick of hearing about Helen Skelton and Rebecca Adlington in the Daily Mail. Oh look, she's showing her knickers again! Ffs, it's schoolboy humour at it's worst!

Pictures?

Go on then seeing it's you.

.....and I'm sick of double standards. Why is it OK for Lineker to present in his boxers and not for Helen Skelton to wear a summer dress?

Go on then seeing as it's you.

Very nice!!

.... Anyway, I am watching the Omm Omm Omnium.

I preferred the Madison but they don't seem to do it now.

Sophie Hitchon:
"Training has been going really really well. To get a bronze medal, I am over the moon"

NO! You are still on planet earth. Its the hammer that's over the moon.

Britain's Eilish McColgan has qualified for the 5,000m final and has said she is "over the moon" with how she ran.

Hmm. I don't think 5,000m is sufficiently far to go to the moon and back. Not even far enough to go to the ISS.

Having partaken of some herbal supplements one evening some years ago, my friends and I got to discussing the moon. I was asked how far away I thought it was...

"I dunno man, a mile or something?"

*Laughter*

"DAMNIT! Fine! Five miles?"

I have never been allowed to forget this.

The cycling has made this Olympics for me so far. Not seen any of the athletics due to the time difference and with cycling being the prime time viewing each evening it's been brilliant. By eck we have some brilliant cyclists!

There is apparently a rubbish fire rather close to the MTB Olympic course.

You can't talk about the Olympic flame like that! Heretic!

Rubbish as it is burning rubbish, or rubbish as in not very good?

Rubbish as it is burning rubbish, or rubbish as in not very good?

As in trash/garbage

As in trash/garbage

At the risk of falling into the trap of pedantry...

I believe the question being asked is not "What is a synonym for rubbish?" But rather, "Do you mean a fire consisting of rubbish (garbage/trash) or A not very good fire? (consisting of anything flammable but not rubbish)"

Ofc it could be a rubbish rubbish fire....

I'll get my coat...

GB&NI are doing brilliantly. I haven't seen much of it live though due to Norwegian TV showing little of interest, and the BBC sharpening up their security.

USA have got most of their golds (16) from swimming. Take that away and we're winning!!!

Some of the kids on the BMXs are old enough to have beards!
