 drumroll:
It's better than I ever even knew.  They say that the world was built for two.  Only worth living if somebody is loving you.  Baby now you do.

Well, that's fucking handy  Banghead

We'll have to rename the boardrooom to Wiggins or Armitstead, and demote Adlington to one of the smaller rooms. (All meeting/conference rooms at aitch quarters cue are named after GB winners at the last Olympics)

Been watching some:
Rowing  :thumbsup:
Fencing  :thumbsup:
Boxing  :thumbsup:

Some sports just don't seem to work that well, spectator wise ... Archery, Shooting  and Diving's over in a second  noooo:

Gymnastics pretty amazing ... until the German fell off the pommel horse  shutup:

Lots of worried businesses etc at the moment though. Turnout so far just not as high as they had hoped ( in fact 30% down on the same time last year ! ) and much as they have been encouraging people not to come into London it looks like they will be trying to reverse that.

Come into town, no traffic, and tickets now available that were previously VIP allocated to all events  noooo:
