This

....all those who couldn't be @rsed turning up in Manchester for the parade or London to see the queen should be disqualified....and that includes Mo

Nick Skelton FTW
Not every sports person, can be @rsed with triumphant parades and many will be involved in sports that take them around the world so they couldn't be there.
Mo has problems with his hearing so he probably didn't hear the phone when they called to invite him, like the time he never heard the doorbell when they came to test him for drugs.

For the record, tennis doesn't get any lottery funding for the Olympics
well this article suggests otherwise

Northwood Tennis Club is among 148 local sports projects to secure a share of £9 million of National Lottery funding from Sport England’s Inspired Facilities fund.

I have a somewhat different opinion, on both counts.

many will be involved in sports that take them around the world ,,,a couple of days off,,,,why not....I find that hard to believe


Mo has problems with his hearing so he probably didn't hear the phone when they called to invite him, like the time he never heard the doorbell when they came to test him for drugs.
Not sure how to answer that

My vote goes to Nick Skelton, to come back after breaking his neck in two places and tearing a ligament off his spine. He has represented this country for many years, it is not just for him alone the dedication and admiration he has for Big Star made them such a winning combination. As Nick said he has been working towards his goals for 40 years so I hope he will win.

Murray deserves to win but I hope Alistair gets into the top 3 I got a feeling Laura might also sneek into the top three.

No it's not. I did mean that they get no lottery funding for their Olympic pursuits
