Olympics Day 1!

First topic message reminder :

Rowing just kicked off on BBC One, we've been live for an hour. Watching the judo at the minute. Come on Cav!

I prefer looking rather than listeing DJ

It has nothing to do with the way she looks, she is a blockhead of a presenter.

Kinda ironic cause her head looks like a block

I actually dont find her unattractive LOL

I disagree. She's a very good presenter, us armchairs tend to underestimate how difficult it is to do the job these people do.

she looks like one of them northern european birds i suppose. probally quite dominant in the sack an all

I absolutely love the way the swimmers are introduced. Quality

If Hannah Miley wins a medal I'm going to the shops and buying 12 beers.

If she doesn't I'll probably get 16.

I do very much agree with that. easy to have a pop isnt it. she certainly has confidence. I couldnt do it - but id rather kylie minouge was doing it

Look, i have no problem if she sticks to the horses, she is quality there but when it comes to sports she has no clue about she comes across as really poor.

She never calls the right horse tho- I prefer that crazy dude that shakes- at least he picks a winner

What a swim.... Stunning

Miley in 5th, what an effort from her

China dominating in the pool again. We all know what happened last time this happened.

Is that the first world record broken at the London Olympics?

I thought the commentators said that China hadn't won a swimming gold medal before? Was that just in the mens?

Actually no. There was a world record in the qualifying for the archery yesterday. Depends if you want to count that or not.

Good effort Hannah. Exceptional freestyle from the Chinese young lady

Just the mens. China have a history (sketchy or otherwise) with women's swimming.

Ahh fair enough.

Excellent honesty from Phelps, got to respect people like that.

US women's national team have looked good in the football, played some superb stuff onto a great win. Mexican fella feiced up badly in the archery cost them a medal.

Hey Thom, enjoying the games?
Loving them myself. London is doing a fantastic job

That's one of the advantages of football (soccer) developing later in their country, women playing football isn't seen as odd.

Enjoying them Bill, think I pished off Rava with some of my comments last night in the rugby pub so not all good. I have been relaxing for most of the day after a tough 2 hour session this morning. 24 Olympic channels always something you'll watch!

Hell Thom, i pish off the bearded one on a daily basis

I think I seriously annoyed him though! Got a PM and everything! Trying to smmoth things over but not looking good. Apparently I'm a Brit hater as I said British people will say this is the best games (they will but every country who ever holds it does), I didn't say there was a problem with that and there isn't having pride in your country for hosting such a prestigious event is a great thing but not looking good!

Ahh Thom, let it die down mate. The bearded wonder is a good lad as are you. Things will be good again in our world

Your both just passionate feckers but i luvs ye both

What happened to Sharon Davies?

Sharron Davies does the interviews like she normally does. Balding does the anchor role. Even if you don't rate her, you've got to say she's better than Inverdale.

HUP Holland

Oh yes. If Inverdale was made of chocolate he'd eat himself.

Hell mate, my synchronised bottom burps are better than Inverdale

Come on Holland

Silver :-).

Well done the Aussie

Questions over change overs?

Really thought the Dutch were going to get it then.

It was close Crimey. Well done the Aussies though

That Jess Llyode is sexy

GB just lost to Montenegro 31-19 in our Olympic debut of handball. Laura Robson and Heather Watson have just been defeated in the women's doubles as well. Only women's basketball left today for GB I think.

Wait till Keri Anne Payne swims

Sorry typo. It was handball.

Hell, at my age, Sharron Davis is still dead sexy

ChequeredJersey wrote:Wait till Keri Anne Payne swims

She's a different class. I hyperventilate just thinking about her. She's engaged to David Carry though, people were wondering whether he would be happy with 7th in an Olympic final.

Answer - he doesn't care, he's engaged to Keri Anne Payne.

Plastic Brit though, she's a Saffa.

djlovesyou wrote:Plastic Brit though, she's a Saffa.

Can she play cricket or rugby as well

Sorry Mystiroakey

So much for home advantage.
