its all about who has the best drugs and steroids isnt it? Still with only 2 silvers and 2 bronzes and 20th in the medal table i suggest Great Britain's pharmaceutical companies need to get their fingers out :-)

Going to see the handball tonight.. Should be interesting.

The opening ceremony was utterly brilliant, and designed to tell the world about our incredible achievements as a nation, rising from an agrarian society to the forging of the Olympic rings, and all stops in between.

The misery-loving whiners who are calling it "left wing" are a bit sad, frankly. It's our history, warts and all. Superbly designed and executed by Danny Boyle, one of our most talented film makers. He was born into a very poor working class family in Manchester and shows a lot of the class snobs contributing to this thread what can be achieved with talent and application. He should be an inspiration to you guys.

The Spanish newspaper, El Mundo, got it, as did most of the rest of the world if you read foreign newspapers. El Mundo said, after the ceremony: "Despite all their mistakes, it has become clear that without the UK our lives would not be the same".

Bingo. That was the entire purpose of it.

Arise Sir Danny!

nice to see a vaguely positive report on the ceremony by a foreign paper, the bit about britains mistakes did make me chuckle though Spain hardly have the history of a shrinking violet.

Brilliant 5 minutes there.

Our girl into the final of the judo, after beating the world champion (somebody volunteer to tell her she should be in the kitchen?)

And Agogo just beat the No 1 to reach the quarter finals in the middleweight boxing.

Amazing stuff.
