[The T-Dex]

The cycling event where they follow the strangely dressed man on the motorised bike is very, very surreal.

The fumes from the bike are horrible too, because you are in an enclosed area.

GB highlights of hockey on BBC3, they just showed a Barcelona esqe goal, passing from back to front, beaut goal

Go on Roger lid. You beautiful [Poor language removed].

He does look imperious, like a nobleman beating an especially stupid peasant.

Didn't think about that.

I'm watching it and just laughing. It looks ridiculous. He looks like a postman from the future.

Have to wait for the GB volleyball as the Koreans have fought back against the Turks. There's some cuties in the Korean team. Well, if you can call 6'3" women cute.

Or a pizza delivery boy who'd missed the kicker in the fourth dream state a while ago.

You now have to think of a pizza/inception pun...

A pizza within a pizza is probably something you can already get in the states.

Calzone?

3-0 GB in the Hockey

 

[RFUS]

Calzone?

Calzone is folded pizza, isn't it?

You fold it, bake it and then masturbate furiously to its deliciousness.

I think we've certainly got some young taient & the build up to the olympics plus the predictable post-games bounce should see us right in the future

making the most of this will be huge for quite a few sports

These. The exposure some sports are going to get will be a massive boost. Will be important to keep the long term effect continue, not have a lull in 10yrs like some have commented Aus are having now. But sports like Handball, where we bascially have built from scratch in 4/5 years, this will be massive.

Insane how steep the bends are in a velodrome.

That is insane! Like one of those motorcycle rides at the fair!

Yeah, like wtf was that about, why didn't they just get a just below the cut Kenyan to set the pace, like they do in the Athletics...

Yes but it's a pizza basically just imploding incredibly slowly. It's slowly becoming more dense until it collapses and becomes a black olive hole.
