I am in love with Jess Ennis-FACT  8)

Unless you are from God's own county back off, we don't take kindly to outsiders making moves on our womenfolk.

Watching the sailing.
Unless you had commentators saying we are doing brilliant, I wouldnt have a clue what was going on.
I guess its difficult to paint finishing lines on open sea.

She looks too much like a bloke I used to know, so it's a no from me. She must be devastated.

Somebody will have to break the news to her very gently.

Would this be a good time to say that Victoria Pendleton does it for me?

If this is true, the GB sprint cycling team should be stripped of their medal

http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/blogs/londonspy/cycling-hero-makes-shocking-crash-admission-224907807.html

Total Nonsense!

Hindes has only admitted it because it is quite a common thing to happen in sprint cycling, and had it happened to any of the other nations competing they would have done the same. It was like he was peddling with no chain. If it was such a problem, then that arsey commisaire would have relegated them there and then anyway.

Also the team they were competing against in that heat obviously were happy to restart or they would have protested.

There was a previous competitor on the radio this morning saying much the same, ie there was clearly a mechanical failure and what happened was not controversial.

We're very good at finding fault with ourselves. In a similar vein Gabby Logan seemed very keen to suggest to the gold and silver canoeists that they had a huge advantage, being based at the Lea Valley centre. They probably did, but let them enjoy it and leave them chips alone.

I see we're sitting 1st, 3rd and 4th in the team version of the 'rich people prancing around on horses' event.

I wouldn't say no to the lass who just won us the bronze in the judo. Mainly because i'd be too scared to.

Its a Maria-fest in the tennis at the moment.

However, it looks like Maria Redsox will end up losing to the lesser (but taller) Maria as usual.
