Imk cheering for the other countries instead.

South Korea/Japan are my #1s.

France/Italy/Germany are all OK; Spain little bit less.

"Small" EUR countries (BEL, NL, EST, LIT, LAT) are good
Scandinavia just so so (I know; bad)

Ex-USSR very good (incl Russia- I know again). Loive UKR
I like Greece.

And the nations that normally do well, as well as the host

Sounds like you are the the sort of guy Azerbaijan or Turkey would love to have on board!

I just feel so British inside of me, its in my heart. Of course I support some other countries and athletes more than others but its always the UK inside of me!

Blimey that gymnastics gold puts us above China in the medals table for second place! And how thilling to see Louis Smith beaten into second by a Brit!

The two commentaters on the Mens Singles Final are as dull as ditchwater and also, unlike the other BBC commentaters at the other events, totally uninvolved in the action and Andy Murray's efforts to win a second gold medal..

We will never see a British player of the calibre of Andy Murray in our lifetimes again. First player to win two Olympic Golds in singles.

Not so much. But was happy for the guy who got a bronze yesterday in weretsling. Ha had a really close relationship with his mum, and they worked together for rio2016, and then she died a few months ago and it was really sad, but then he got a medal

Thread in need of resurrection, but maybe it should have been for better news ..

Apparently there has been a gun and bomb attack in Malmo - but the BBC are not reporting on it?

Trying to find more information....

Just a regular week in Malmo unfortunately. It's been kicking off over there with regularity over the past couple of years.

Had we lost it? Good time to resurrect in time for the election vote in the US

Highly amusing that Trump's aides have taken away his Twitter access - can't be trusted with Twitter but can be trusted with the nuclear codes? Scary thought!

Whilst Hilary is far from the ideal candidate she is certainly the lesser of two evils. I think Donald is one of the most despicable human beings to ever walk the Earth, anyone who supports him and his wretched views is clearly psychopathic or just a bigoted moron.

Where's Bernie Sanders? I miss Bernie.

FEEL THE BERN.

Both candidates are utterly horrendous. It's a lose-lose situation. If I were American, I'd vote for Jill Stein (Green). Hilary is dispicable and corrupt - oddly, even pro-Democrat papers are calling her corrupt and calling her out on her accusations via email that Saudi helped fund 9/11 and then Clinton in her current role helps arm them! (Saudi are also interestingly the #1 donor of the Clinton Foundation!). But then... Trump is Trump.

Bernie

It's all going to come down to who has the momentum. Trump has inspired a large group of White American men, but Hilary needs to persuade the people (e.g. Ethnic minority's) who voted for Obama & don't particularly care for her, to vote for her. She has the much tougher job imo. There is a group of people who genuinely like Trump, and I'm not sure the same could be said for Hilary. As you said, she's just the lesser of two evils. It's basically a 'Anyone but Trump' vote for her, from most people.
