    Another two medals for the GB & NI team today (Gold and Silver in the boxing).
    We should be very proud of our Olympians, and encourage those future Olympians.

    Ooooh, the Italians are appealing the gold :( but the original result stands :mrgreen::mrgreen:

    For all you Olympics fans ;)

    I've really enjoyed the Olympics and enjoyed having them in London.

    TeamGB have been amazing too :D
    So are we strangers now? Like rock and roll and the radio?

    Good effort Spain...as for USA basketball who cares, basketball is about as competitive in the Olympics as ping pong.

    Jordan and Magic wouldn't have done any better on the Spanish Armada...Ewing, Robinson, and/or Dwight Howard however...

    I hate basketball. It's one of the worst sports around IMO. Despite all the fairly interesting characters playing it professionally, it's more boring than a freaking volleyball game.I don't get the appeal! IMO of course. :D

    Apparently the Mexican wave is going around the stadium.

    London has loved having the Olympics. We're all sad to see it finishing.
