Always buy good quality wood. None of that cheap panel shite from B&Q.

What I took from that was when he said ‘it’s not been done since 2000’. To me 2000 was just a few years ago. The reality though….

Old!

First British female diving medal for 64 years, some achievement.

But agreed, people were talking about London last night and I was thinking shit that's 12 years ago!

Fred Siriex daughter is in the diving, 10m.
Representing GB.

Gino Di Campo will probably try to steal the show and jump into the pool naked.

Ramsey’s daughter’s fella is swimming, so I think Gino will lose his mind at the lack of attention he’s getting.

Ramsey’s daughter’s fella is swimming, so I think Gino will lose his mind at the lack of attention he’s getting.

He could always go back to breaking into houses and stealing Paul Young's guitars.
That will get him noticed second time around.

Nice to see the athletes congratulating each other no agendas, why can’t our politicians be like that, youth showing the way.

 

[Protein Junkie]

Didn't realise the ancient Greeks played so many different sports

And there was no Discovery or BBC back in the day so I wonder how they televised it?

What else is on?

Obviously ignore the tennis times on this now, rain has threw it all off.

Next medal opportunity is 13:30 women's individual time trail (our rider goes off slightly later). Britain has a better shot in the men's later on though.

 

[MCFC1993]

Couple of good performances in the heats of the rowing, looking like medal opportunities.

Thanks Clare.

Genuinely chuckled at that
