I've been away for a while. I was flummoxed by the results of the Olympic Games in Peking. Great Britain beat Australia in overall medals and in gold medals...well I never! What went wrong! Okay, allowing population and climatic differences we are the same peoples only separated by a sliver of glass in the ear...yes! the Australian accent. Mind you they only beat us by the seat of their pants..literally!
Oh well, never mind, let's all look forward to London in 2012.
From watching the tv coverage of the games GB won 547 medals in total...well that's the number of medal ceremonies I saw, while watching a mob of has-beens and never-wases discussing things they knew nothing about.
Perhaps next time, in London, the coverage will be on BBC Sport and not BBC Lifestyle! We can only hope.

I definitely agree about the has-beens over commentating. it reminded me of xfactor with all the sob stories.certain judges in certain events were definitely selectively awarding points to their favourites. especially in certain combat events. anyway enough said about that. i will leave you with this point though. "seat of our pants" I guess we won the 400m sitting down :) thats gotta be one for guinness.
Mojo, was your gold medal winner ever involved even peripherally in a drugs scandal. perchance?
