    The sports they do well at are similar to the ones we do well at, except they are waaaaaaay better at swimming. This time round they've been trounced by the Americans in the swimming, and the less said about the rowing and cycling the better...

    They have invented a new sport, it's called coming second when britain win gold, and they are the best in the world at it!!

    At the last games, Australia won 6 swimming golds all in womens' events. The got just 1 this time. Pretty sure the other 5 were just won by Missy Franklin or relay teams containing Missy Franklin.

    I turned to C4 to see the buttock lady, but it is Undercover Boss about Stena Lines.

    However, imagining LIR and FIR flailing about at night under towels is suitably amusing. :rotfl: :o

    Oh, wait for it, its almost time for him to leap about naked with the electric tennis racket for half an hour again. :rotfl:

    That's good news. My boss has gone to that and I'm glad he'll be having a good time.

    Is Missy Franklin one of the athletes who has done ahem unexpectedly well?
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    No, because she is American and therefore it is obviously all down to natural talent, skilled coaching, hard work and, of course, most importantly, God.

    So the Americans are silent when one of their teenagers powers through the water races like a propelled boat?

    Of course, of course.
