    Some of our stewards didnt get into the spirit of th Olympics.
    We brought beer up in a plastic cup, bloody awful an old guy had a bottle and the sour faced steward took it off him.
    Yeah I know your not supposed to it but he was about 70 and just enjoying the game.

    It was a great night, thoroughly enjoyed it, even as a tv viewer, the BBC studio commentators were shown behind the scenes as they were watching the 10,000 metres, pretty much the same as it was in my house, everybody went crazy! <party>

    The ladies marathon is about to start, weather is cooler, and it's raining much better conditions for the athletes. <ok>

    I was out of my seat and urging Mo Farrer on in that last lap. I punched the air when he outsprinted them down the finishing straight. Great stuff. So proud of Team GB.

    Oh boy, is everybody else having the same weather we're having here? Bucketing down with rain and massive thunder claps and lightning. The whole place is shaking. The rain's the same as it was the other week when there was flooding in lots of areas and the thunder and lightning is even heavier. I'm skeered.

    We had a fair amount of thunder, but don't think the rain was anywhere near as bad today.

    Also, Ben Ainslie had me crapping myself at the end there. Gold it is though :D

    I really do hope so, taking nothing for granted though, he has a lot on his plate, finalist in two events, I'd love him to get an Olympic gold, preferably the mens singles. <ok>

    Murray's had the luck of the green today but he has taken full advantage of it and deserves to be 2 sets up.
