You do follow the football threads....?

Clearly not. Otherwise he'd already realise you have a) no class, b) no tact.

Coming from you, I shall take that as a compliment.

Watching Ennis are you?

I sure am. What a girl. The fking lot of them actually. Can't believe we got 6 golds today. I must admit I blubbed like a baby with Inverdale when Hunter and Purchase were interviewed.

Obviously not closely enough, but then, there never is much activity on the Leicester thread

Inspirational the lot of them. Even inspired me to buy some new tyres for my roadbike. Not put them on yet though, might do that tomorrow with a beer in the garage. All in the Olympic spirit eh!

I was at the rowing this morning. I may have had something in my eye couple of times. Dust, possibly?

I was at the game last night, never had such a good atmosphere at such a poor game! Sturridge and Ramsey were shocking! I'm surprised the crowd weren't singing "are you England in disguise" with the lack of shots on target and the inability to string a few passes together. Korea deserved the win in standard time to be fair, but GB did well to get to penalties!

We were behind the goal that 10 goals were scored in though, so had a fantastic evening, and the national anthem was awesome with the roof on!

Pffft. You want to be there for the rugby when they play the real national anthem boyo. It'll put hairs on the hairs on the back of your neck.

That's exactly what I was thinking when we were singing! I've already decided I'll be trying to get there for the 6 nations.
I was impressed though as I expected it to be a little muted.

Really really struggling to care or have any passion at all about that team.

I can understand that but why would one will them to do badly?

1. Team GB adds weight to the argument that the 4 home nations should unite permanently.
2. Welsh players playing for team GB negatively affect the preparations of the Welsh football team for forthcoming fixtures.
3. All players playing for team GB negatively affect the preparations of their clubs.
4. Team GB is nothing more than a political vanity project.
5. Team GB losing every game would result in this folly being discontinued in the future and the risks posed in points 1 to 3 minimised.

I bloody knew it!
