Could I have had a better birthday - no! What a stunning day we have had at the Olympics. Sooooooooooo proud to be British. Oh and must not forget the homemade cake from Georgia assisted by The Moose yes

I dunno, I watched Brazil vs Austrailia at women's beach volleyball the other day, and I couldn't think of a finer day to be watching the olympics!! smile

A very happy belated birthday Nick. Hope you had lots of beer

yes
Absolutley incredible day.


Here's food for thought. I'd be surprised** if after you remove Andy Murray from the equation the combined sporting income of the 18 mens footballers probably overshadow the total sporting incomes of the other 522 athletes in team GB and yet they still manage to go out on penalties... again.
Just goes to show that sometimes you do not get what you pay for!

I suspect** the direct economic benefits of hosting the Olympics will not live up to the hype, but the feel-good factor for the nation may very well have been worth every £M

** I have no idea if this is true!

I was in London last night and it was so busy they were queue at most underground stations at 11pm. I would say that many businesses in London are benefiting, just hope that effect gets outside of the capital......

Not according to the Daily Wail. They've spent all week showing pictures of the deserted West End, talking to whinging restauranters.

Many Happy Returns of the day Nick.

Medals were amazing, the long jump a surprise and Jess Ennis' and Mo Farah's races both stunning. Beginning to enjoy this smile
