You also get access to their app, which you can download, and login with your TNT details and that gives you access to all events going on at all times.

I just do that on channel 430something or other. :-) Although I have a SMART TV that the family bought me for Christmas two years ago I don't attach the thingy lead that would enable me to use the laptop or the iPhone. But I do have a couple of Apps on the iPad. :-)

Love watching the archery events as it is among a handful of actually practical skills in the olympics.

Yep I’ve been really impressed by their provision of information, easy to follow even for an FOC like me. BBC sports website is very poor by comparison

I have to admit that @Eccles Blue can do no wrong in my eyes. One of my BM heroes.

Her pun is close to perfect. Indeed, I may well try to incorporate reference to conjoined twins for use in the paralympics thread... all done in the best possible taste of course

You should have said that Lavinda was your favourite name and you were confusing her with a(nother) lovely Lavinda.
You’ll get the job. *fingers very tightly crossed*

This may well be my favourite post of the week.

Apart from my own posts of course.

I'll have a word with Lavinia for you. I usually get her mail by mistake, so we're good chums.

Was that your best?

 

[jimharri]

Are mixed relays a new thing? Some of those boxers would fit right inm

In which case get me measured up for my GB tracksuit, by the time I was about 8 I'd probably spent more hours perfecting my technique than Murray trained in his entire career.

Reminds me of the riddle:

“A ship sank into the ocean, every single person on ship drowned, but yet 3 people survived. How is this possible?”
