Beckham's been 'in contact' with Daley as well.

How camp is Tom Daley.

I think you might get a rather ferocious response from the Fist to this. After he finishes writing his letter demanding Brazilian tits at the closing ceremony, of course.

whooshed over his head like a non existant satellite.

Nicola Adams, the Leeds lass who won the first ever women's boxing gold medal, is the step-daughter of one of the ICU nurses at work.

I love my dad but I think he's fucking crackers because he thinks he invted saying 'thank you' to bus drivers.

And he means stiff.

I wonder what wolfy's 'guillble' daughter thinks of her mad bastard of a dad.

Me neither.

With GB getting so many golds it's easy to become disappointed with silvers and bronzes, but so chuffed for Daley after all the shit he's been through, you can see how much it means to him.

Awesome 4x100 final, USA in the lead after 200m but Blake and Bolt just burnt them away. Outstanding.

I think a few people made that observation when he started the Moon Landings thread. He'll only build half of the bunker before he gets bored.

Yeah Wolfy, fuck right off. I hate these stories, I really, really hate them. When I first heard about it my thoughts immediately turned to Holly and Jessica, Milly Dowler, Sarah Payne, the awful inevitability of an announcement like today's.

The video referrals business is the clincher for me.

Happy birthday dude.

Twitter does seem to bring out some of the very worst sides to people. It does sometimes make me think why don't celebrities shun it. If I was Barlow or Daley I wouldn't want to give any wanker who fancied it the opportunity to abuse me. Anyway, dreadful for for the two of them.

Jiu Jitsu. As most people here know already I'm not too familiar with TKD but I have seen sparring that actually looks more like people fighting rather than just waving their legs at each other - to me anyway, and I'm sure people would say similar things about Jitsu or judo. Clearly, it's just not my thing.

Ouch. Really not a fan of TKD especially the stuff they serve up in the Olympics but good luck to her.

It's hard to find a more ringing endorsement than CabayeAye not liking them tbh.

I couldn't agree more with your last point. I'm not entirely who you're raging at though. The bbc employees probably have passes that let them in to media areas. I dont think they all had first dibs on the tickets. Sure, As someone else said, it's British Cycling that nearly didn't give him a ticket.

People taking advantage of perks in their job SHOCKER.

Laura Trott is just adorable too. Just seen the Pendelton decision what a load of shite, poor girl. What an incredible career. Telegraph article has Yorkshire tenth in the medal table.

You expect it with rowing, shooting and sailing but that's still quite high.

Robson clearly did very well to get a silver medal but she made some ugly unforced errors in the final. The much-higher ranked Heather Watson was quite rightly miffed at Robson's selection over her. The decision looked more political than sporting. Watson being mixed race doesn't make it look any better for the LTA (not exactly famous for being a progressive, modern institution) either. Anyway, fantastic that GB got two medals in the tennis. So pleased for Murray, for him to beat Federer like that a month on from Wimbledon is up there with the events of last night for me.

90s tastic shell suits for the tennis medal ceremony.
