I was watching that on the telly and wasn't sure it actually happened. Citius, altius, fortius.

That's going to ruin my late-evening Radio 2 listening.

And no Tessa Jowell. That's got to be a bonus.

I always forget quite how much Pearl Assurance House needs bulldozing.

He was dead useful in the last half-hour or so of the last forum 5-a-side, mind. Just give him the ball and let him do all the running while we caught our breath.

Aye, that's it. There'll be plenty of accusations of Chinese druggery when they top the medals table by a mile, and there'll undoubtedly be a few cases of that kind of thing, but by and large it's just a combination of sheer commitment, drive and funding (well, and fear ). Take the synchronised divers this morning, they were just a class above anything else the rest of the world had to offer. It's frightening, but then again, the biggest population in the world should be churning out that kind of athlete, I suppose.

And you'd be gutted at some of the useless twats on your side, too. :icon_lol:

Also, Tom Daley in "not actually the second coming" shocker.

Kid Rock went to #1 the other week. It's probably for the best he wasn't around to see it.

they got dressed in a hurry that day... I knew I should have invested in a decent belt.

No. He's a fucking terrible footballer with bleached hair. No. He's a fucking terrible footballer with fucking terrible hair.

I know, but you also know - what I know..... I won't settle for less than an AM/DM RLC, anyway.

A DM is an M. Just a D one. AIROAIW?

Ute isn't an acronym, you drongo.

That's bringing back some bad, bad memories of that silver-grey strip from the 80s.

Stop it, I'll end up on YouTube all day. Again.

I'm not ashamed to say I had a lump in my throat. Fucking brilliant imo. After the bad luck she'd had throughout her career it was just fantastic that everything came together that year. If my new neighbours in Hamburg hadn't worked out I was British yet, they certainly knew it after her races.

The problem with that is it only traces the server. I put in my IP address and it gave the address to the main building on campus. If someone is using Comcast in America, which is the most popular, it will trace them to Philadelphia even if they're posting or visiting from Los Angeles. Fair enough. I know at my old university it would have told you the specific room and desk of the PC in question, but that might just have been a weakness of the useless techies there

Since 1996. Don't tell me you've missed out on the last three?

All the track and field, some of the footie (for laughs), probably quite a bit of the men's diving (for obvious reasons), and no doubt anything the UK has a vague medal hope in because the BBC'll force it down our throats either way.

I'm not even going to be there. Can someone set up a webcast?

Ah, the days when Ronaldo could be called any kind of -inho without triggering a tidal wave of guffaws.
