  1. Oh by all that is sacred - SYNCHRONISED SWIMMING??????????
  2. Yes. A very good race. Especially like a race where you are allowed to scupper the opponents.
  3. Don't pay the ferryman - Chris de Burgh [hangs head in shame]
  4. Brilliant idea - an Olympic spelling bee!
  5. Maybe we need to cross it with silver ...
  6. Back again. I would have no problem with what you suggest David, and in fact it does happen in some showjumping events. The horse is a vital part (obviously) - one poor chap got sent home when his horse went lame last week. But enough already. I shall be posing in my breeches and top boots for a limited period by the sick palm tree.
  7. HH died in an ocean race, not quite the same thing as Shanghai Harbour.
  8. Mary King who just won a team bronze, broke her neck in 2001 after a fall. I think she may have preferred the softer landing of the water.
  9. What do you want from me? - Pink Floyd
  10. Sounds like you're going through the menopause, Nero :-S
  11. And another thing - I'm against the trend for baring all, but, if it's going to happen, why are the men's beach volleyballists dressed like Victorian maidens?
  12. Re swimming, definitely ditch "freestyle" - it's always front crawl. Re eventing - riding a horse is extremely hard work which requires minute control and foolhardy nerves, and the element for disaster is endless - you don't get that with an inanimate boat.
  13. Shoot me now - I'm obviously too long in the tooth: bmx in the Olympics? I'm polishing my skateboard for 2012.
  14. I met a lovely chap on Peckham Rye on Sunday morning. He was on his ex-racehorse which he hunts in Somerset. He said when he first went to the country he was treated with an awful lot of hostility and suspicion as one of them Londoners who wanted to interfere with their way of life. Interesting to see how they view us townies.
  15. but b) doesn't quite work - more pratty. Understated is always cooler.
  16. My mistake - it looks like an enclosed stadium. I missed all the opening hooha so no idea what it looks like from the outside/top.
  17. ... and what's with sunglasses in an indoor stadium?
  18. On sartorial matters, bring back the old strip of red/white/blue hoops. First, it is so much easier to identify the Brit; secondly, it would put an end to all those bare midriffs. BTW - well done Ms Ohuruogu but I'd rather not see your navel. At least you beat that silly cow in the arm wrap thingies.
  19. I'm still reeling over Lord Chester's Bayonet. You show me yours ...
  20. Tres bien, MP.
  21. Tsk, tsk Mockney - cats must be plural and windows feminine.
