but GB third in the medals table?
You've got to feel some pride.
And am I wrong to give some credit to Ken Livingstone?

We are glued to the rowing this morning, fantastic!

We are pretty sure we have watched many of these Olympiads train around Monkey Island on the Thames.
One morning, at around 6 am last year, one of the rowers yelled at us, as he flew past in a wave of water, "I know what you guys are thinking and I wish I did not!"

I do hope the guy concerned is one of our medalists, either way, a great one liner from an athlete rowing past one early in the morning.
