And the medal bearers in star trek inspired purple uniforms!  

Awww that was lovely..... well roll on the women tomorrow  

Anyone watching the swimming? GB just came second in their semi-final of the woman's 200m freestyle - so puts them sixth into the final.

My GOD, the woman who has just won the 100m bacstroke was the winner of the semi-final of the 200m freestyle a few minutes ago!

I go to Slimming World and all hell breaks loose. How did that happen?

And to add insult to injury .................despite being sooooooooo good all week and almost 100% perfect (Saturday afternoon tea party wobble) - I only lost one pound 

I'm peed off now

Not even a bronze

4th fastest into the final and 5th fastest out of the final!

I know that feeling. Stick with it Soozy, the weight will eventually shift.

I must admit my weight loss is much slower this time, i wonder if it has anything to do with being older.

That Olympic flame costs £9 Billion... and where is it? Inside the stadium where no one can see it. You couldn't make this sh*t up

didn't Plymouth do well? 

Why are you so negative about these Olympics?

You're getting on my nerves if I'm honest - if there was ever an opportunity for people to have something to be proud of this is it. Sad to say there are probably a lot like you - I'm sure we'll get more than enough criticism from other countries - from where I'm sitting as far as Olympic games go - we're doing fine so far.

This is a forum where we're pretty much free to say what we like so it's your prerogative to make snide comments and digs at every opportunity.

Personally I'd rather you take your negativity elsewhere where I'm sure there are others that'll support you - as far as i can see this is a thread where people are sharing their interest and enjoyment.

Aww, she was quite overcome with it all.

Yogi I have done Slimming World before and it has worked for me in the past. TBH - most people have good weight loss in the first week - I have always got the big loss in week two so I'm fingers crossed for next week.

And yes I do think it's harder to shift the pounds as you get older.

Oh do be quiet, there's nothing wrong with having a laugh at ourselves... I've been sat here like everybody else hoping GB win in everything. So do yourself a favour and shut the eff up Don't like my posts? Ignore them.

*fears a locking* 

I'm just doing it on my own, and my first week I only lost a pound and I was so disappointed. To be honest, it is still coming off slowly but at least it's coming off. Youngest son (who goes to the gym several times a week) says I need to get off my backside if i want to shift the weight quicker. I think I'd rather resign myself to slow weightloss.

They say it's dusk down there. Up here we've got brilliant sunshine.

Track and field meaty, and it's on all the big screens.

Also these are not the first games that the cauldron's been inside.

There had better not be! 

I dunno what's wrong with us all lately!  

Mine's gawwwn

Noooooooooo! I like this thread.

I wasn't interested in the Olympics until I watched the Opening Ceremony and you started this thread, now I'm hooked!

Have there been any full moons?

Good question! Either that or we've all "synched"  

Maybe.

Anyway ..to get back to originals......Phelps coming on now 

You sure have.

You've created a monster Yogi 

I wonder if he will be back on form?

Sorry Ducky.

He was 

Well, that answers my question, well done Phelps.

Britain just won gold in the 200m Butterfly... his name is Michael, that's English, so we'll claim that.

It wasn't the final Mr P So I wouldn't claim him just yet.... 

Fine. We'll claim the next one.

What about if it's specifically Scotland?

flaming eck, all this Plymouth talk is gonna attract all the non-locals.
