2 More medals for Yorkshire...........We wont hear the last of that

I was going to attempt some witty wordplay based on Bowie's "The Bewlay Brothers". However, the lyrics are so freaking weird that I gave up.

A fine tradition. They still have Boycott to go in the Bat and Ball individual endurance time trial too.
Their best medal tally since Truman got treble gold at Barcelona in bar billiards, shove ha'penny and skittles.
I'll see thee.

Not forgetting Michael Parkinson in the the second round of the Argentinian badger wrestling.
Ayup.

I'll tell you what you don't see very often these days, red post boxes.

On a semi serious note then.

This has been absolutely brilliant.  I think it's showcased how well we can do if we put our minds to it; in terms of organisation, putting on a show and then performance.  But where next?  How do we sustain it and build on it?

I'd heard Spurs were maybe going to look at incorporating handball facilities.  You hear on the continent that some of the football clubs are more sports clubs than solely football.  Is this the way forward for some of the sports like handball/basketball/volleyball?  Get more exposure through association with Villa, Man U or whoever?

There will be a drive to do more at schools but you can't play the above sports on a playing field so how do you build that?

Well done the toffs.

I don't really understand any of the horsey stuff, but the way they get the horses to prance around like that looks pretty impressive to my untrained eyes.

So how has the NBC coverage been USAV? Lots of tweets about them deciding to not show major events live like the 100 m.

The NBC coverage has generally been excellent................except their ludricous decision to not show the big stuff live.   It's all about the advertising dollars here, so they will tape delay stuff like the opening ceremony, the 100m final etc so they can show it in prime time (7pm -12pm EST/PST).

Anyway, I believe the current score is...

GREAT BRITAIN 20 (twenty) AUSTRALIA 2.

Another gold! Laura Trott in the omnium. And ADVILLAFAN owes me £5.
