Nimrod's my favourite of theirs by far. At least it's a bit... different.

Quite fancy Andy Baddeley for a medal in the 1500m after the semis. Big Christine O. should get silver in the 400m too. Other than that, Idowu will probably screw up as usual, Sotherton was depressingly average and even the relays aren't looking too crash-hot now that Jamaica are the best country in the world at everything ever.

Apparently I forgot "damned if she sort of does".

Oh well, not far off. And you can say what you like about sending crocks to the Olympics, but Radcliffe did bloody well, all things considered. And apparently Liz Yelling broke a rib when she fell halfway through, so ditto for her. Not exactly a classic night. Two thumbs up for the Romanian granny who won it though, only one who had the guts to try and make a race of it...

We turned on just as that lass was dropping out and were absolutely convinced it was Radcliffe until they showed her from the front. Now that's confidence.

It was used in an anti-drink-driving public safety ad a few years back, wasn't it?

Decent name for a baby that, Turnip.

And belated congrats to KCG too, should have read the first page first really

The Trent won't be the same with you knocking back the Diet Cokes. Congrats again

I'm not. Her javelin is still cack.

Usain Bolt is so going under 9.70 in the final.

You lot are bitchier than a room full of gays during a poppers drought. This is awesome.

First round is on in a couple of hours. Can't wait for the parade of useless twats from Vanuatu and Afghanistan - it's what the Olympics are all about.

It's a Load-era song with a Justice structure/vibe. Could be worse.

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".
