I haven't heard anything from them in a while- i've filled in all the online parts correctly, posted everything where I was meant to, and haven't had any emails saying my services are no longer required. Any ideas what's going on?

It is nothing to worry about, as MrsMop says you could e-mail them and ask. For the past two weeks, I have had only three items to post and recieved only two, I think that they don't need to monitor my postcode area as much, more than likely it may apply to you too.

Today's question
How many sports are included in this years summer Olympics?

I am getting two answers come up depending on where you look.
1. 27 sports
2. 38 sports.

How do you work out which one is right?

Taken from the official website of the olympics:

Summer sports: Aquatics Archery Athletics Badminton Baseball Basketball Boxing Canoe / kayak Cycling Equestrian Fencing Football Gymnastics Handball Hockey Judo Modern pentathlon Rowing
Sailing Shooting Softball Table tennis Taekwondo Tennis Triathlon Volleyball Weightlifting Wrestling So that's 28 right?? I'm confused as athletics is obviously classed as 1 sport only!!

If you look at the Beijing Olympic website schedule its 38, same when you click on the Sports link:

Archery
Athletics
Badminton
Baseball
Basketball
Beach Volleyball
Boxing
Canoe/Kayak Flatwater
Canoe/Kayak Slalom
Cycling BMX
Cycling Mountain Bike
Cycling Road
Cycling Track
Diving
Equestrian
Fencing
Football
Gymnastics Artistic
Gymnastics Rhythmic
Trampoline
Handball
Hockey
Judo
Modern Pentathlon
Rowing
Sailing
Shooting
Softball
Swimming
Synchronized Swimming
Table Tennis
Taekwondo
Tennis
Triathlon
Volleyball
Water Polo
Weightlifting
Wrestling

They've asked a pretty stupid question because you can group all the cycling events together or they can be separate, same with volleyball being grouped with beach volleyball. The IOC says 28 so I'm inclined to go with that.
