TRAVESTI ON THE RIGHT MATE, FOR CERTAIN.

Still would. Not even arsed, lad.

Rowing = doesn't count.

 

[Cena]

Boss rowing race at the minute

They should have a seperate Olympics for middle class sports.

Equestrian
Rowing
Badminton
Archery
Shooting

All shite and the medals from them dont count.

Cycling
Football
Swimming
Track and Field
Boxing

...pretty much the only sports worth winning a medal in.

Dave- dont bother posting if it doesnt interest you, if you arent arsed go and moan about something else.

Great effort by the mens 8 there- actually thought we had won it as Im watching it online in work

BRONZE

Apparently Germany (who got the gold) haven't lost that 8 man bloked rowing race thing for 3 years. So not to be sniffed at.

4 years

The only gutting thing is that they pushed them but slipped from silver to bronze right near the end. Really could have got silver there.

A fine effort though.

Wiggo going for Gold: should leave the starting gate at just after 3pm. Pity Cancellara had that bad fall in the road race as this might have been close.

Froome might make it 1 and 2 for GB actually.

Is it GBR v Uruguay in the footie today lids? It's for some Suarez hating I'm planning on doing.

would have loved to have got a ticket for this. would have given him a hounding of abuse, that snidely little knut should not have been allowed back on british isles, neer mind crossing the severn bridge to glorious wales

Why should they separate them? I played badminton in school. It's hardly middle class. It costs a tenner for two rackets and a net. Archery is a boss sport, and I'd definitely push my kid to take it up. It's hardly middle class. Just a few painted hay bails at the end of a farmers field.

Fair to say though, mate: the one's who get to the top in those sports are middle class, whereas the sports I identified in the second list will be predominantly working class and/or from dirt poor countries.

There's defo a social class divide in the Olympics.
