    I'd rather not see or hear from any of them.

    On a very shallow note, especially as it's a 3m deep pool, but I'm trying to spot a good looking Home Nations swimmer ...... there must be one somewhere!! :confused::D:blush:

    Bronze for England, hoped they would get the silver but still another medal to the total.

    Was just about to say I can't abide Gary Lineker. Such an awful main presenter. He clearly does absolutely no research before any interviews or links.

    He doesn't care, he doesn't need to. He gets paid squillions and the BBC wouldn't dare drop him. Loadsamoney for old rope.

    The online streams and red button channels are there for a reason, there's no need to end up watching any talking head pieces and random chit chat or the chopping and changing of being forced to watch what the main channels want to show.

    damn, looked like south Africa might be able to pull off an upset but the damn ozzies took it in the end. Well done to England for the bronze.

    It's not the same online as watching on a big screen.

    That English guy Simon Burnett is very handsome. Whatever happened to him?

    Wales having a really bad time. :(

    The Welsh are the only Home Nation that has an established National anthem and we are not hearing it. :(

    I don't know why the bbc rate him so highly. Fair enough for the football (although the "banter" gets rather tedious on MOTD) but to have him as a main presenter on these massive sporting events is just :confused:

    And don't get me started on Jonathan Edwards as the cycling frontman :o

    Wow. I suppose including paralympics then 130 isn't that impossible.

    Boxing really needs headgear at amateur levels. Boxers should not be bleeding all over the place at commonwealth and Olympics games.

    Nice to see England doing so well! Everyone thought the Aussies would take most of the medals at the pool but it seems not. England and Australia are significantly ahead of all the other countries re. medal totals.

    130 is very generous, they should get way more than that.
    150 is possible here.

    I tried viewing the swimming on the red button but it was just showing the BBC1 output >:(
