Team GB at Olympics

Whatever. My local club doesn't have a single good looking lass.

It does, it is just that they all head out the back door when your bulk sets off the tremor alarms that they had fitted in the foyer.

Regardless of the politics, it's an awesome achievement we are currently two golds up on China. China FFS!

Indeed. Any way you look at it we have once again shown ourselves to be a real powerhouse at the Olympics. As it stands if the French and Germans pooled their medals they would be struggling to beat us.
Makes you proud to be British..........or at least it should do.

FTFY

It does, it is just that they only book in when they know there is no chance of you being there (usually confirmed prior with UK Border Control.

Pretty impressive and remember you have to thank good old John Major for being a big part of it. In 1996, when GB came 36th in the medals ranking, UK Olympics only received around 5m support and then Major instigated the National Lottery of which a fair old chunk of its proceeds are spent on sport in the UK, in fact between the last Olympics and this one, they've invested around 274m in the sporty people (76m on the disabled sporty people). So remember, if you want to beat the USA at the next Olympics, do the lottery...

Well done UK Olympians...

When Britain does badly at a major sporting event, does it make you ashamed to be British?

Nothing makes me ashamed of being British. Besides, we don't really do "badly" anymore.

It's the boys and men who are really good at gymnastics. Then they go on Strictly.

So John Major wasn't our worse PM ever.

Makes me want to play the lottery now....

Don't you think lottery money would be better spent on shaunbhoy's Assisted Living Support Worker, or can we safely expect that this will be covered by the extra £350 million per week to be spent on the NHS?
