Olympics

That's how phil Tufnell pronounced it on TMS, pissed me self laughing.

Another gold in sailing.

Could have another two golds in cycling tonight. I'm calling this "tremendous tuesday" you heard it here first.

We were no where until beth tweddle came along basically built a team for her and then when louis smith won bronze in bejing

Beth probably was perhaps one of the more gifted gymnasts we had produced after Suzanne Dando (I think). I also think that the bronze that Louis won was something of a surprise to everybody, and people suddenly thought that maybe we were capable of producing really good gymnasts after all. Whether we have exceeded any expectations on from London is probably pretty evident in what Max Whitlock has achieved.

4 more medals to 48.

you mean omnium

I'm eating cheese toasties so it's the Omnomnomnium for me.

Di I Spell it Right?

I remember Tuffers being asked to spell Murali's surname once I can't remember if he ever got it right or not now.

We've had Super Saturday and Sensational Sunday. Are we heading for Tremendous Tuesday?
