Quite a few actually including David Broome and Jami Baulch. Those are two just off the top of my head.

Tanni Grey Thompson, Colin Jackson, Iwan Thomas, Ryan Giggs, John Charles, Iestyn Harris, Mark Hughes, Ian Rush, Neil Jenkins, Matthew Stevens, Mark Williams and Ian Woosnam These are just some of the names you might know.

WE'VE JUST WON A GOLD AND BRONZE IN THE SWIMMING POOL!! :D

Maybe it's just me being as patriotic as an earthworm, but I hate it when people say "We've just won". No, you haven't won anything and by saying it to mean the country as a whole, you take away some of the meaning from the one who actually did win. I couldn't give a toss how many medals "we" win. And all the commentators, we this, team GB that. It just annoys me. 2012 will be a nightmare. Saying that, I'm happy for the girls who won. They've trained hard, were obviously over the moon (and glad to have won, not treat it as something they were owed), beat the favourite but, more importantly, it was just a damn fine swim that kept it close right to the end. That's what makes me happy most of all.

That's how I meant it, 'We' as a country. I couldn't be arsed to swim or cycle for miles to win a medal. :P

I don't think most of us could! Still bugs me though. I'm just a grump really.

Lighten up, I say!! ;) Then again, so should I. The synchronized diving is on at the moment, and though it's brilliant to look at, the commentators criticising all the hard work they've put into it annoys me. "Oooh, they hit the water a millisecond apart!!" or "He made too much of a big splash in the water!!" So what!? They didn't do all that hard training just to be criticised, to the commentators, shut up and fuck off!!

Calm down! That is a commentators job

I am so so so happy about the Gold and Bronze in the pool today. I saw the race on the BBC while I was sitting in the jury lounge waiting around today and it took all my self control not to jump up and down and cheer because they were just so fantastic. :D :D Rebecca Adlington especially swum an amazing race for her Gold, and now I'm desperately excited about her 800m race on Saturday, in which she could probably get another one, if it all goes well. We should be so proud of our swimming team, it's incredible how much they keep improving. Also, I know he's not British but after today Michael Phelps is still on track for his attempt at a record breaking 8 medals this competition. I hope he gets it because he's one of the best swimmers of all time and he deserves it.

Was listening to news radio this morning and apparently all is not what it seems in Beijing... Paid seat-fillers taking up valuable real estate in the stadia while genuine punters are being fleeced by touts outside for tickets,'Singin' In The Rain'-esque miming shenanigans during musical numbers (a 'chubby-faced 7year-old girl with 'crooked teeth' sang offstage while a 'cuter' little girl mimed the words for the world),and Capricorn One-style cover-ups as pre-recorded footage of fireworks was fed to the world's TV networks masquerading as live material... Oliver Stone is busy typing this very minute,I'm sure...

I did hear something on the news about people being evicted from their homes without recompense in order for the Olympic Village to be built. Bearing in mind this is China, it's not a massive leap to consider this true.

At least you knew where you stood with Genghis Khan...

Usually a foot shorter than normal. One of the risks of being headless.

Or 2 feet shorter if you're Quentin Tarantino... Big head,big head big head!!!
