    Quote "By the way, which twat owns the sports car with the ghasty yellow brake calipers in the Chapel car park? Must be a player" - A bit disrespectful, but it apparently belongs to Flossy the tea lady, and she still makes awful tea but her baps are to be revered!

    If I was a footballer I think i'd spend most of my free time shagging (which apparently everybody in the athletes village also does), but each to their own...

    This article gives a good impression of what goes on in the Olympic village: http://espn.go.com/olympics/summer/...s-dirty-secrets-olympic-village-espn-magazine

    "The next morning," Lakatos says, "swear to God, the entire women's 4x100 relay team of some Scandinavian-looking country walks out of the house, followed by boys from our side. And I'm just going, 'Holy crap, we'd watched these girls run the night before.'"

    100,000 condoms are apparently provided.

    100,000 is far to few, its 150,000 that London have handed out. Roughly 15 each, for a 17 day stay. I think in 1992 there were so many condoms on the roof of the British House that the BOA had to impose a ban on sex on the roof.

    Not a fair comparison, as "emulating" and "considering a hero" are completely different. If one of your grandchildren emulated Wayne Rooney and say, won England the World Cup, you wouldn't care? Because thery considered Rooney a hero, or because they got a tattoo when they were 18?

    Surely they are preventing the creation of a race of super athletes?

    Coloured calipers are vulgar even by Clarkson standards. It's something that screams young, rich, reckless and bad taste. In a football stadium car park, there's a good chance it belongs to a player.

    Robson and Murray didn't start crying and smashing things when they lost. Complete lack of passion.

    Robson is definitely one for the future. She suddenly shot up in height this past year and that can take getting used to as all angles are affected. When she's good, she's very good. The question (which is true for all British tennis players) is is she hungry enough. You can make a decent living from tennis without reaching the heights. Anyway a gold for Murray and a silver for Murray/Robson are nice additions to our medal tally.

    Oh, I thought I'd managed to sneak that one under the radar. Clearly, like myself, you have nothing better to do than watch athletics and read this forum. I should say that I can at least point to some guitar practice, on my part.

    Oops, big cheers in the stadium. Missed that.

    Between events today, I have vaccumed out my car, re-arranged the Caribbean sauce stock in my garage and mown the grass. All this in between watching the Olympics as the rain showers seemed to know when I needed to be back in fron of the TV

    I can see him going for more of a stylish and comfortable look rather than a boy racer look. He's not going to roll up in jeans, t-shirt and sunglasses driving a bright orange Lamborghini with orange calipers, racing stripes and a giant rear spoiler.

    Yep pretty much. Watching athletics in between bouts of fawning over Laura.

    Didn't note the registration. Will do if I see it again.

    Certainly in these Olympics, there's been monumental pressure on a lot of our athletes. Just the same as there is on our football team.

    Unlike the football team, a lot of these guys and girls have gone above and beyond what anyone thought they could do.



    In a refreshing turn, in these games, I can't remember a single athlete whining about a judge's decision.

    If they'd been footballers, Pendleton and Varnish would have been screaming in that judge's face about how much of a ****er he is when he disqualified them.

    In that respect, they could learn a lot from other Olympians.

    True enough. I can't remember in Olympic history anyone ever being upset with a decision, certainly not to the point of arguing and shouting wit.. oh wait
