Not bad, and we didn't punch any horses.

We went to London 2012, Volleyball & Hockey, not sports I have ever watched before, but I can honestly say they were two fantastic days, the volunteers, the Armed Forces, made me proud
 
The armed forces were called in because the privately hired companies couldn't deliver what they promised but still got their profits...

Seb got a hell of a chunk btw!

So does that make you proud?
 
Beating the Russians is particularly nice, given the circumstances of their inclusion.
 
I reckon UK were 3rd. If you take 3 points for a gold, 2 points for a silver and 1 for a bronze, Japan gets 126 points and the UK 130 points.

I know & they did a great job as did the volunteers, not interested in the politics of it
 
I can see the quiz programmes in 50 years time:

“what year was the 2020 Olympics held”
 
Britain’s Olympic heroes prove we're best at everything, says country unable to supply own food | The Daily Mash

THE UK has proudly proclaimed that its Olympic heroes mean it is a major world power, while ignoring empty supermarket shelves.

Team GB’s incredible haul of 65 medals, placing us fourth in the table, has announced to the whole world that we are a nation to be reckoned with though admittedly also a nation that cannot get cucumbers.

Nathan Muir of Hereford said: “We’ve got medals in BMX, in modern pentathlon, in female weightlifting. That’s what matters. Stale bread tastes fine if you toast it.

“When Jason Kenny’s won seven gold medals in keirin, which I believe is a kind of cycling martial art, only small-minded petty losers with families to feed would carp about all the shelves in Sainsbury’s being empty by 10am.

“And it’s all because of Brexit. The amazing Olympic triumph that’s made us admired and feared around the world I mean, not the Army having to deliver dog food. Though that too.

“We may be looking at a long, hard winter of rationing and fuel shortages, but those accumulated medals will keep us feeling well-fed and warm. Thanks, heroes.”

He added: “Right, bored with that. I’m off to Tesco to threaten a shelf-stacker because there’s no Marmite.”

And you're obviously not concerned about the tens of millions of taxpayers money paid out to politicians chum's it seems (n)
