Damn there are some disgusting people on the Tube. Also a lot of people who sleep standing up. I've developed a cold partly from some disgusting motherfucker not washing their hands, and also from me not washing my hands. Breathing is bad around a few hundred other people, m'kay?
That NBC thing is a joke. I'm guessing they're not showing sports in "real time", probably understandably. But I'm pretty surprised about their whole operation generally (they have quite a few hundred more presenters than the UK does too...)
The GB gymnastics team were just beaten to the Silver by the Japanese. We put on a pretty much flawless performance (high 15 on the pummel horse, excellent stuff) and Japan had two of their guys fall off and have early dismounts. They were of couse, penalised for this. Then they inquired into it, the judges decided that the dismount was a "landing", not a "fall". But it doesn't really matter, it's the first medal we've had in gymnastics since the Olympics in 1912 (where we also won bronze!)
Patrick:
Congratulations to Michael Phelps for having good teammates

I know Phelps broke the record for Olympic medals yesterday, but does anybody else feel like it's a little early to start calling him "the greatest Olympian of all time" or whatever the announcer said last night?
Lines:
I mean, he's definitely one of the best swimmers, but I wouldn't say he tops all other Olympic athletes of all time.
