    That sounds like the answer a witch would give...

    Anyway, were up to 44 medals now, just three off our Beijing total. Hopefully we'll exceed that by close of play today.

    I'd give you more detail if I knew what I was talking about. My cousin has told me how one rides a horse correctly. Even the difference between how to ride a horse English style and Western style. I know there's a huge difference, but I couldn't begin to tell you what it is. Something to do with tight reins, loose reins, riding on the front feet, or getting the horse to stick its back legs further forward.

    See..? I've confused myself now. :)

    I believe some venues are temporary, but I assume the velodrome will stay for competitions.

    Good to see we have youngsters coming through in cycling, so success should continue.

    Given it to Meares. Tough, but clear infringement.

    Probably right, but its the fussiest judge I've ever seen.

    It's almost like he's been told to stop us winning everything.

    Yeah, she elbows Pendleton, who can only stop herself from becoming unsteady by veering out of her lane.
