    I watched the road race this afternoon with a tear in my eye and a lump in my throat at the unabashed Britishness of the GB team. They showed the rest of the field exactly how a concentrated and synchronised display of teamwork can take control of a race and ran to the front of the pack in perfect formation. For five hours they performed a flawless demonstration of how to dominate the pack.

    Even when 33 other riders overtook them and pissed off over a minute up the road.

    Makes you proud lads, makes you proud.

    Your flicking one off to archery & womens handball, freak.

    Seriously though , i was giving it the ` i`m not going to watch any of that shit when its on routine`. So far i watched the opening ceremony from start to finish, very good , athletes bit was boring, but stuck with it. Watched some womens handball( never heard of it until then), fencing & caught a bit of swimming. Does it make me feel proud to be British, no, this country has gone to the dogs & its too late to do f*ck all about it. Will i watch more of this, yes , because it has to be more interesting than most of the utter shite that we have served up to us on our telly channels.

    Its a fucking disgrace dave. A typical short sighted narrow minded greedy bastard cock up. I think I know how it happened, but the organisers are a bunch of cnuts and should be publicly flogged. Every seat should be taken, it would not be beyond the realms of possibilities, only they wouldnt be able to charge £380,000000000000 per ticket. Greedy twots.

    I'm trying hard not to be a glass half empty cry baby here, but for the poor, provincial hayseed without much proper learning or booksmarts, the ticket thing does come over a bit like 'bungs for the boys' and 'can't have the oiks cluttering up the place dontcha' know'.

    I'm just saying is all. But it may just be that when London big wigs come home from a long day saving the country they need to be able to sit in two or three chairs, with their feet up on a couple more, just to be comfy.

    And then, do you know what? It would be even comfier if I just stayed at home and watched it on every single BBC channel anyway.

    To the mouth breathing slack jaws outside of the capital, it could just look like that, is all I'm saying.

    And Jeanette and I have been wetting ourselves laughing at a new game we've invented since Monday. Have a go, it's great fun. You make a bet when the programme starts on exactly how long it takes and how many times the BBC commentators mention how 'full' the stadia are.

    It's only been happening since Monday night but it's brilliant.

    Some may say its my inner cynic leaping to the surface, but there's not enough Lithium in the world to stop him screaming in my ear at the moment, I'm afraid.
