Nicola Adams. Born in Leeds. Yorkshire.

I thought it would have been obvious to everybody the Addams Family are from Yorkshire. Was Uncle Fester was from Barnsley or Sunny Scunny, Chris?

Where were you working last night Mr Grandad ?

The Beeb showed lots of behind the scenes shots (especially up in the 450s channels) and I kept wondering whether any of the old codgers wandering around was you.

Last night I was in final call but I was hiding in a bay when the TV cameras were on. Did you see Bolt pretending to hit the American? He's a bit of a poser when the cameras are on. But a nice chap otherwise.

I'm one of the younger old codgers on view. I've still got my own teeth/hair/marbles. Will be in final call  again today and 2moro.

Any chance when it's all over you could post any photos of yourself either with or without athletes?  I'm sure there are others on here who, like me would like to see them.

Thanks SashasGrandad; I'm just disappointed you didn't leave the knickers on the floor ;)  Seriously, much appreciated and I look forward to seeing more.

Woo hoo. You hear Bolt and Weir praising Brum ?

Usain is obviously a Villa fan.

Why were they praising Brum? Did they train there?

Scunny is my guess as it's in Lincolnshire.

Lutalo Muhammad easily beaten in the taekwondo. That means the whole Aaron Cooke issue will be re-visited

Fortunately for Taekwondo GB the squad as a whole has performed well. So they have a few brownie points in the bag.
