[LANDROVER ROGER]

Point taken.I put my feeble attempts at humour in the wrong place.Cheer up!Re-mount your High Horse.

[Bobh]

Is it just ne or are the Olympics getting to everyone. Just watched the tennis with Murray and we are all cheering. It's turning out brilliant

[Ags]

It's amazing the amount of people who have gone from not being bothered to totally hooked Bobh.
I tallied up that I cried 11 times on Friday never mind Super Saturday.
Murray was fantastic today, is it too much to hope for a double? Go Andy!!!

[Govangirl]

Yep! Andy Murray was the icing on the cake! Our family had to record the Synchronised Swimming and watch it after the tennis. My sister-in-law is an official and we saw her on telly lots of times. The excitement has been sooooooooooooooo high in oor hoose the day!!!!!!!!!

[Govangirl]

It's good to feel good

That's it, you've captured the element of these Games Bobh!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't care if folk shout me down but this is Current Affairs. There's another place on here called 'House of Fun' where would-be 'comics' can post their stupid jokes. Can we just stick to the threads please? I'd prefer absence to improvement in this particular thread, thank you very much.

Must be very frustrating.Six weeks holiday and no-one to shout at.

Now THAT is funny Roger.

The performance and attitude of Team GB has reminded me of the Kipling quote: "If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster and treat those two imposters just the same". No displays of arrogance or strutting prior to their events just quiet confidence and belief in their ability to go and do their best. Some of the performances in the velodrome have been awesome. Good luck to Sir Chris today!!
PS: and before Roger says it, I know he also made exceedingly good cakes!!

[LANDROVER ROGER]

Cameroon are hoping to win gold today............

In the team hide and seek.

It has been a great two weeks entertainment with much success for Team GB. (What is the position of Northern Ireland in that name?)

One "sport" that troubles me, and probably many others, is Boxing. How can this activity be described as a "sport" when the main object of the contest is to punch someone else's lights out? Let's face facts, the most successful boxers are the ones who do most physical damage to their opponent. Is this really appropriate behaviour in a so-called civilised society, and should it be condoned by allowing it to have the status of being an Olympic sport? It has long been established that it can cause long-term brain damage.

They've even got women doing it now!

If you punch someone's lights out at the Olympics you can get a medal, but if you do it in Main Street on a Saturday night with a willing co-participant you could possibly get a jail sentence.

Strange.

We were discussing this on another forum recently and decided that the following should be removed from the games....

Badminton
Beach Volleyball
Boxing
Cycling - BMX
Cycling - Mountain Bike
Gymnastics - Rhythmic
Synchronized Swimming
Trampoline
Water Polo
Football

To make it worse, Golf is being included in future, a friend of mine always says, Golf = a good walk spoilt. I bet that's upset someone.

BTW EMDEE, you may be a "civilised society" in the new sanitised Scotland, but out here in the rest of the world it's a bloody jungle.

[LANDROVER ROGER]

Mo Farah.What a legend!Watched the race from the start and I was standing and yelling at the end.Superb!

That quote was first said by Mark Twain more than a hundred years ago. Still applies today
