It just doesn't.

How do they determine what counts as a block and what is just a bump?

It's so typical of our media to congratulate people coming sixth and saying "it was a gutsy performance."

Was thinking that.

'Come on' 'Come on'. Tits.

How did we manage 19 gold in Beijing?

Just wait for the velodrome bits and the rowing and sailing, that's where we'll shine.

3 Brits in 3 consecutive finals, no medal.

Means little, but we got 47 medals last time, it took 3 days to get one. We got our first on day two this time.

Men's hockey on BBC3, 4-0 v Argentina.

Does winning football count as 23 gold medals, or only 1?

That's a joke, right?

Yes.

Okay, because the answer is obviously 23

Thanks for the stat Danny. This actually raises my hopes

Counts as 1.

I like how you asked if it's 23, when they only have 18 man squads.

I like how you took the question seriously.

I like how you've suddenly come back.

I like that you like it.

Hate it when our media go up to foreigners and speak really fast and use complicated words. Why not just talk a little bit fucking slower and ask them simple questions instead of overloading their brain with shite they probably don't understand.
