    Don't know about everyone else, but seeing all the huge successes of these games makes me feel bad about my own feeble life :o

    Half an hour to get in the shower then. It's not like I'm still wearing my nightshirt or anything. Or that I watched the whole of the marathon, mountain biking and modern pentathlon just because it was the last day and I didn't want it to end. :o:D

    today was the first time i wore clothes in a week and that was only cos people came round:o:o:o

    Not the Beeb's best montage... And they usually nail this sort of stuff. Too sombre, I felt.

    Er, didn't a Lithuanian win the Modern Pentathlon?
    Fittingly the last gold medal of the London 2012 Games went to a Brazilian, Yane Marques, in the Modern Pentathlon with GB's Samantha Murray taking silver.
