Blond highlights...not the same.

I saw that guy the other day - the commentators were taking the piss, don't know how they got away with it.

What an amazing day/night, the women winning gold in the cycling, smashing the world record 6 times in the process of getting to and including the final, Jessica Ennis winning the heptathlon, Greg Rutherford winning the long jump and then Mo farah winning the 10,000 metres, outstanding performances from all.

Everything you'd hope would happen did. It was such an epic day for team GB. Brilliant stuff!

These Olympics cost 9 billion pounds. What value this kind of feel-good factor? and we still have over a week to go, as well as an amazing closing ceremony to look forward too.

It reminds you of what we're capable of - hope there are loads of youngsters getting inspired by everything that's going on instead of hanging around Spar shops with their hands down their pants.

Fantastic experience watching the Judo live last week, on a day that Japan won silver and the UK bronze (we were doing double duty as cheerleaders). Excel itself was packed, but it was relatively organised chaos, and there was no line worth mentioning at security so the fears of 2h+ queues getting in were utterly unfounded.

NOTE: if you're going to see something at the Excel (or maybe even the Olympic Park) don't automatically believe the route suggested by the official Games transport site. It wanted to send us on a near 1h journey via Stratford and involving 2 changes and a fair amount of walking, whereas we chose to do a few stops on the Northern Line and then straight all the way on the DLR instead after actually looking at a map.

Andy Murray wins the tennis gold at Wimbledon, 6-2, 6-1, 6-4, now why couldn't he have played like that last month against Federer.

Now he knows he can, I reckon he'll get a few majors.

Given 2 tickets for the water polo...didn't even know horses could swim!
Anyway, I'm off there soon (I only live 10 mins away)

Ben Ainsley in the sailing wins gold for his 4th consectutive Olympics, brilliant.

Now he knows he can, I reckon he'll get a few majors.

Definitely, nothing better for the confidence than getting one like this under your belt, it can be a big mental block with some people.

The way Bolt and Blake ran in the 100 metre semis, it looks like the world record will be smashed tonight, currently at 9.58 seconds, a sub 9.50 looks on the cards, it would be great to see that, I'll predict 9.47 seconds in the final.

How about I give you £20 for every second under 9.50

And you just give me £10 for every second over?

@ Caz, we're not talking whole seconds here

I am gobsmacked how well we have done already
there was an article I saw earlier that said if Yorkshire was a country it would be beating south africa, australia and japan in medals table

Very surprised the world record didn't go in the 100, especially with them all as expected running under 10 seconds, apart from Powell, who pulled up, thought the record was nailed on there, if Bolt had got out of the blocks cleanly, who knows but, that was a great spectacle to watch.
