Fat terrorists don't fit into anything.

Harvard. Oh dear, someone has got under your skin haven't they? eh ? Aimed at Parky. You wouldn't think so, being a reply and that. I reckon they read it in the Guardian, anyway.

That's bollocks man. People still won't go if they're that way inclined. If you want to lose weight you don't need to join a gym. You just modify your diet, go for a run, do some sit-ups, ride your bike, walk to work, etc. Loads of people sign uptp gyms in January then go about 3 times (if that). Hoying money at the problem in the way you suggest won't do anything. Exactly. I'd never go to the gym if it weren't for the Italian exchange students playing football on the field in front of the windows where the treadmills are. Actually, can we subsidise them?

Terrorism can hit any of us. Obesity will only see off the likes of Stevie. I know which odds I prefer.

Anyone for the Phelps Diet? http://blogs.guardian.co.uk/food/2008/08/m...y_big_brea.html

Shola is nearly 27 years old.

Have you ever considered a tattoo? Some in-joke I've missed? More of an out-joke, though naturally I can't find the link now. There was some daft lad in the press a few years ago, proudly boasting of having spent the best part of a grand on a terribly tasteful Toon tattoo even though he "couldn't afford a season ticket".

Have you ever considered a tattoo?

Taht iS gooo!d

That well, eh?

*bump* Alright lads, how's the training going?

Greatest ever Olympian in a sport where you can enter multiple related events, anyway.

I hate those posters who only turn up once every few months to spout their bile then disappear again.

I was watching that on the telly and wasn't sure it actually happened. Citius, altius, fortius. Quite a lot fail like that, it's strange as you'd think they'd all go for a safe weight first. I wasn't talking about the weightlifting bit.

Just watching the end of the showjumping on the Beeb now. I realise it's a posh sport (and not really much of one at that), but it's hilarious hearing the BBC commentators pretending they're not willing the others to fail now that the British lass has racked up a clear round.

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:
