The Olympics 2012

[Brogan]

Wiggins 5 seconds down at the first split.
Let's hope it's not another over-hyped disappointment.

 

[Pyrope]

Fingers crossed... hopefully he's just pacing himself!

These medals are like buses, wait ages for one and then they keep on coming! Nicely done sideburns!

 

[Brogan]

Well done Bradley and Chris.

Wiggins takes Gold and Froome take Bronze!!

 

[Johnny Carwash]

Tour De France winner, Britains most successful Olympian,now he should be Sir Bradley Wiggins.

 

[Brogan]

I think that puts GB at 10th in the medal table.

 

[F1Yorkshire]

Anyone else thinking the gold thrones are a bit pretentious? Whats wrong with the normal purple box most athletes have to stand on!

 

[Pyrope]

Fantastic news! I knew going away from my desk and fussing with paperwork would do the trick... Congratulations to both of them.

Wiggo the greatest ever British olympian… until tomorrow ? Can Chris Hoy get more medals in the Velodrome?

For all you philatelists/stamp collectors... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-19083289

Oh and has anyone noticed how most of our medals come from sitting on our arses?
Not sure what that says about us as a nation

Murray's in a bit of trouble against Baghdatis in the tennis, break down in the first set. Hopefully he'll come through but anything can happen in a three set match.

Wow, nice job. I thought the only living people whose images were allowed on UK stamps were members of the Royal Family? DId this change lately, or is this the first time?

Edit: Ah, no. I see. They relaxed this rule for the 2005 Ashes-winning cricket team. You live and learn.

That's good, we're just behind the North Koreans and Borat in the medal table.

Womens Volleyball on now, found my new favourite athlete.

Ciara Michel 6'4" blonde yummy!

Congrats to Bradly and Chris - I know he was probably knackered but Brad could have smiled on the podium

Completely off topic but the first living person aside from a Royal to appear on a UK stamp was Roger Taylor from the band Queen, they put the deceased Freddie Mercury on the stamp but in the background was a tiny Roger Taylor.

but in the background was a tiny Roger Taylor.

Off Topic: Surely he was the same size he always was at that age?
