    Well done to the gay community for protesting.
    Pre war Iraq and Afghanistan were very anti gay, it's a shame the gay lobby kept there pro war support so quiet.

    Alan Partridge commentary at this best. Austrian girl lands on her arse and they are cheering and whooping, so the british girl gets a bronze medal. The most beyond biased sports commentary for a long while. Fantastic tv gold.

    How hot are those snowboarding girls?

    Considering we have no mountains as such, we're pretty good at this.

    British snowboard history being made, I thought they were quite reserved :)
  • Well done Jenny. Now for mens slopestyle skiing on Thurs which will be sick. Woodsy got a really good chance of a podium for us.

    We've got a medal? Nice one!

    Must've been all the snow last year.

    Next year we're bound to win a few surfing titles.

    Just Googled that. Mental.

    He picks the wave up off the coast of Portugal and ended up in Portsmouth!

    I was going to post something a bit sarky here - but instead of that, I'll just point at you and laugh.

    Consider yourself pointed at, and laughed at.

    Just loved the interview with Matthew Pinsent when Jonesy first saw her mum & dad. Best piece of 'reality' TV I've seen ever! Just loved it when our bronze medal winner asked 4 x gold medal winner, Sir Matt whether he was laughing at her mum - she then confided with him and the watching millions 'my mum is so Northern!'

    It brought more than a tear to my eye and just imagine how proud mum & dad must feel today :-)))))) We are still a great nation for the right reasons.

    Love the Winter Olympics - know a few people there competing. The town I live in was a WInter Olympic Venue in 1988 & the whole place embraces the games....going to be a fun couple of weeks.

    That snowboarding is a brilliant event. The blokes event yesterday was epic viewing.

    Would also pay good money to have a go on the luge.
