that shirt must be rather nasty by now though. you've been wearing it for 3+ days.

fucking nice work Steve!

did you tell her to sign up here when she gets back?

Fuck that, her bike is like totally OTP and she keeps wearing the same clothes as all her mates. Fucking hipster.

and she rides a disc wheel and arrospok

Excellent work Steves. It's a shame you didn't buy the What a C*nt one. ;)

steves your are a gentleman and a scholar

Steves = :D

Beijing sky matches the LFGSS header...

VB has gotta get that pic on the front page of the forum somehow... Love it!

And for your next challenge, the Holy Grail, The Real McHoy!

Then we can also get a proper size comparison!

would hoy fit in the frame?

fuck that, send her a t-shirt.

indeed. send the whole team t-shirts

Hoy's gonna have a go on the rollers at the Salford Nocturne apparently..

Steves: How long did it take you to swap that ring over onto your t'other finger? :)

Respect, Steves - cushy number.

I've spent the last couple of weeks in the good ole United States of USA and fuck me their Olympics coverage is shite.
Michael Phelps,
Michael Phelps,
12 yr old gymnast,
Michael Phelps,
Michael Phelps' Mum,
Beach Volleyball (...so some fringe benefits)

and that's it. They only show the american & maybe one other competitor, don't show all the heats - just the one with them in, so you get no sense of the build up. Shit, shit and shit.

Now I'm de-jetlagged I'll be catching up with I-player. The BMX was excellent this morning though - good crash action in the mens.

I like Kenney's comment about Hoy: “He's only human and he's got strengths and weaknesses.” When then asked to name those weaknesses, he paused and answered: “Maybe not weaknesses, just weaker strengths.” Tough.

I think that's the same in every country, no?

Not really, we show non entrant heats and cover some of the non entrant finals depending on the viewability of the sport.

right on BRM. BBC didnt show some heats. pssd me off. good thing the brits made it through the finals, otherwise they wouldve switched to a diff sport

they switched to one presenter talking to another presenter in the 'drome right after pendleton's (or hoy's?) run. and there was a race happening behind them.

Is that the new ipod she's wearing? not sure I like it.

And Steve, have you lost a finger (semi-serious question)?

the Americans I am speaking to are getting hacked off with what they percieve as the pro-chinese judging

You never know, he might have by now...

boo-hoo.
As if they were gonna win anyway!! :-P

They just change the medal table around, anyway. :P

You're on good form today, sir.

Not any more. 79 apiece.

No drug-testing here, no sirree bob - ;-)

^^I noticed that the poms passed us on the American table now, as well.
Poo. :(

I find the BBC coverage pretty good, especially with the red button coverage - at least you can choose which sport to watch.

it's definitely better than the aussie channel 7 coverage, which according to my mates at home consists of endless montages of days-old swimming results, plus a bit of gymnastics sandwiched between ad breaks. almost nothing is live, and if there's no aussie winning a medal then it's just not getting shown. they have no multi-channel or web streaming. sounds completely shit.

apart from the unavoidable jingoism i reckon the beeb coverage has been pretty ace.

I think the red button business has made all the difference.
No such thing last time I watched Olympics on channel 7 .

Fucking hell, how fast is this man? Or how good are his drugs?

I can get good drugs, but I doubt I'd even finish 200m

No video feed, please tell me he strolled the last 20m.

"At the end we all just looked at each other in shock, I mean what can you say about Usain's run? Unbelievable. For me, I didn't run particularly great and I didn't really give myself a chance on the bend. Still, I'll take the good from these finals - I'm injury-free for one - and I can get better than this. Usain will have a bad day some time and I'm improving, so I'm looking forward to next season."
