  5. Loving every minute of it - Mo Farah I was going bonkers, couldn't believe it, was sure he went too early, get in there - outstanding. Wiggins, Ennis, Rutherford, the Rowers, the Cycling. Proud indeed.

  6. So happy for once in my life to see GB deliver. Not just the performances, which have been outstanding, but the venues and the opening ceremony.

    While I had predicted disaster, I am so glad to have been proven comprehensively wrong. I don't think you can ever have been so proud to be British.

    And the remarkable thing is how we have turned this around. A couple of decades ago, we were just Olympic nonentities. Now third in the table behind the billion odd Chinese and the US with 5 times the population and far more dosh.

    We must have been doing something right. And so glad to see football, the national obsession, reduced to being a sideshow.

  10. In Atlanta GB won a single gold medal. In London it was six just today!

    Being someone who has to drive in London daily, I was beginning to hate the olympics before it started, and I've been involved in working on the aircon in the shooting stadium, and all the security hassle that involves. But I've been hooked since the start of the opening ceremony, and I've been getting really sucked in by the whole atmosphere.

  12. Sporting success yes, the back handers no... And don't get me started on the rest of the country, benefits wasters, single mum house claiming, illegal immigrants being given the life of riley, OAP's being turfed out of nursing homes to name a few things I hate about being a British citizen.
