I don't know where these CD questions are. I have a DVD telling me how to do the test, but that's it. I thought it would be hazard perception practice.

When Nathan suggested that Engelbert Humperdinck was our entrant back in March I thought it was a name he had made up.

Looking back at our result, it's a shame it wasn't.

Thanks!

I literally melted with relief and then said "pleased to meet you" to the examiner?!

Shock does funny things.

Good! For Suffolk....


I know that Santos was a big favourite for the win on here, but I couldn't take my eyes off the identical twins from Belgium, they've been swapping National records and I was more excited to see which one came out on top - more keenly contested than the final itself I reckon

And by that you mean by me.

The twins looked as if they had finished at exactly the same time.

That would be you Ulfie

Yeah, they had only a couple of hundredth's between them - I wonder if their Mum has a favourite?

Anthony Agogogogo has a medal in the boxing, he's from Suffolk you know

Kirani James's gold is the first ever Grenadian Olympic medal.

Small country successes are one of my favourite, if not my favourite, features of the Olympic Games.

The guy who came third in the hurdles tonight won Puerto Rico their first ever athletics Olympic medal, another one to add.

Indeed.

I always try and watch the canoe slalom, and I remember Benjamin Boukpeti's bronze for Togo in 2008. He was so ecstatic that he snapped his paddle in two.

On a similar note, has anyone seen this?

It's how much time NBC spent showing each country during the Parade of Nations displayed on a map. They're not helping the stereotype.

Ireland are off the mark

We have two medals in boxing (shocker) - guaranteed bronzes at least but I'm confident one will turn into a gold.

Congrats on the driving test 21CB. It's such a relief when you pass.

Oh Anne I forgot to mention that I had a dream about you the other night...

Basically we'd arranged to see each other at this big fancy business centre that had recently been built, I was really looking forward to it but the day before I was due to see you my dad shaved all my hair off but I still went anyway even though I had no hair left. When I got there I needed the toilet and just as I was about to walk into them I saw a woman with a young boy and instantly recognized the boy as LA but walked straight into the toilets without realising who the woman was. I got a text on my mobile and it was from you and the message read 'Nice curls MUWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA' (???????) and when I went back to go and see you both you and LA were gone. I then woke up feeling my head just to make sure I still had all my hair, luckily I did.

That is brilliant! My personal favourite is this one - http://www.london2012.com/athlete/kim-yoo-suk-253415/

In work there's a German company I have to deal with quite a bit, and one of the ladies working there is a Ms. Hagger. The way they do thier email addresses is to use the first initial of your first name followed by your surname. Unfortunately for her, her name begins with an S. First time I saw her email address I cracked up

Yay for the Irish medals! Blimey, that's been a bit of a wait ... have been shouting for Irish athletes whenever I see them, in deference to our Irish posters!

That's just plain weird Amy ....have you been eating a lot of cheese before bedtime?!

I saw the picture of Yoo Suk, and thought how unfortunate!

At our place of work, we have the first initial after the surname as an email address, sucks to be Tim Roden (rodent)

Bawled my eyes out just then along with Sir Chris, that was emotional!

Loved the gymnastics this afternoon, the high bar bloke Zoolander (or something...) from The Netherlands was truly awesome and deserved gold!

Back to work tomorrow, so pleased that I've missed none of the velodrome action

Out of the 10 golds available in the velodrome, Team GB got 7, with one silver, one bronze and one DQ

I was like Chris Hoy's mum - looking through my fingers! Gutted for Vicky - wasn't a big fan of the Aussie coming into the games and now she's left me with a sour taste in my mouth. Still - an incredible achievement for all the cyclists. And Mark Cavendish will be in Rio!

The Dutch bloke was just incredible - simply beautiful.

And now we have 4 guaranteed medals in the boxing, with 3 more a possibility. Brilliant.
