Ahhhh work the curse of the couch potato sporting classes.

(GM potatoes included)

Anyone know which would be the best radio station for Olympic drama and news???

BBC RADIO 5 Live on 909 MW (Medium Wave), that's if you have MW/AM on your radio, I certainly do in my car.

Yeah, the only event specifically designed FOR the Olympics.

those 'laser' guns would be feic all use in a warzone however.

It seems the natural progression is to have olympic paintballing instead

Modern Pentathlon use to be the sport of gentleman but its really the sport of the Hollywood Casting Agent these days. Actors have to know most of these skills.

They modernised it a little, they dropped the peasants as moving targets for the shooting part.

Dreadfully. Now that the pentathlon has been settled, when does the flower arranging get underway?

All this talk of hangovers and "cans". I'm on the dry the last few weeks but would love to hoist up a few cold ones with the boxing, but can't

Expect me to be trying to make sense of your incoherent ramblings in a few hours.

LordSutch

Come on MO - BBC1 now . . . .

Maybe a bridge too far to take the double?

Don't worry, I'll pick up an extra 6 pack at the offie and have them for you

Rascasse

Does Mo really have a chance in the 5000m? His heat time was 11s off the top guy. His SB and PB are several seconds off the Ethiopians.

Added to the all thats happened in the last week since he won the 10k, it seems unrealistic to expect a medal here.

Brigetta Barrett in the high jump has her long hair untied, surely she should tie it up so it doesn't hit the bar?
