What does that stupid patronising comment mean ? I am talking about basic humanity towards the people that keep the UK safe. You seem to want to just d*ck-wave about how hard you all are.

The QE2 is current rotting & rusting down in the Middle East. The hotel plans for her abandoned. Southampton should try to get her back...

You cant post without sneering, which in my book is bad manners every time. So quit your hypocritical sermonising.

22K+ is f**king impressive. Hats off to you all.. Bit worried about the only 5.5K left for general sales. Doesnt sound a lot.

If Stanning and Glover dont get gold this morning, Team GB might as well go home....

The three day eventers have blown the individual medals. Zara Phillips went clear, but the other two who went clear in the team event completely screwed up.

Chorlton posted that opposite was the India Arms - does ring a bell. I think The Ship was the chippy next door.

I couldnt give a sh*t what clubbing entails nowadays. If I cant drink, I aint interested. Not interested in your skanky weed and E's.

I've never heard of any club being open until 7am and serving booze, not even now with 24hr licensing. And I have lived in Manchester.

Traditionally we arent that fantastic at the precision stuff - dressage and show-jumping, but we more than compensate for it with being sh*t-hot at the blood-and-thunder section, cross-country. Cant see us picking up any more medals in equestrian after this afternoons possibilities in the individual 3DE placings, tbh.

And now our best canoeing hope has buggered up.

Obviously not. "BITD" ?

If we didnt have such ball-achingly excruciating planning procedures in the UK, some of these schemes would have come to fruition. Southampton City Council really do seem to be the past-masters at suffocating development schemes. Although some of them were never supposed to be real, just attempts to win election votes.

I find it hard to believe there are clubs fitting that specification in Liverpool either.

Jesus, our own coastline and we really are fluffling the sailing lines. Ainslie drops further behind and another boat capsizes.

Most of these lads should be on leave, up to their nuts in their girlfriends or wives, at home or in holiday hotels, with decent bedding, prior to yet another sh*tty tour of duty. Not in a dank fume-filled car park. Forgive me if I dont share your "its expected of us" shoulder-shrugging. If they dont get proper recovery between tours, more are going to come home in coffins or in metaphorical straight-jackets. And meanwhile, Accountant Hammond carries on with his greasing up the Tory pole to the top by treating them as purely headcounts and costs per head..

The one down opposite Town Quay ? Been in there once and was not overwhelmed, have to say.

Silver for GB, Tina Cook goes clear in last round. Woooo!!

This. Colourfully put, mind you.

Oh, thats alright then...

Another gold gone in the 3 day eventing. Too many fences down in the showjumping, whilst the Krauts all go clear. Crossed fingers the last Brit goes clear to hold NZ off for Silver...

Just imagine, there is probably a certain corporal with a VC and a history of fighting in hell down in that dank car park.

Does he have leadership mentality we have been missing for years ?

Pleased to hear it. I used to work behind the bar from 1994 to 1997. Met my wife in there. Whats it like now ? What was the name of the pub directly opposite run by a bit of a dodgy Skate? Friendly enough, but I wouldnt have f*cked with him. Think he was in the Crew. When off-duty I used to frequent the Bakers Arms.
