It's short for BolloxJoker.

I do hope Boris has arranged suitable seating arrangements for Murdoch, apparently he has trouble sitting these days. Nothing to do with hemorrhoids, it's the queue of tories with their tongues up his ar[is[/ie

Well, for those who missed it, here's a link to the classic video clip

Is he still up there?

Where are the Olympic shooting team when you need them most?

I noticed Cameron stayed the hell away from The Royal Artillery Barracks today

funny how the British cyclists admission that he cheated in the first round of the team race has been largely ignored by the same media that hounded the badminton players out of the competition.

No so funny as the furore over the little 16 year old Chinese girl at the swimming as compared with the 15 year old Lithuanian girl who also won gold in an astonishing way but who happened to be trained in this country. That's what makes me proud to be British, our unbiased media.

he didn't cheat, your ignorance of track cycling is noted.

He didn't cheat. He was probably guilty of gamesmanship but that's all. He broke no rules, although after these Games I would imagine the international cycling body will clarify the rules to make sure only something like mechanical failure is allowed for a restart!

Somebody should have schooled him in the art of answering media questions though before they let him loose as had the rules been more specific, that admission could have resulted in the gold being lost, which would have been a travesty.

Having seen the 2 British competitors in the women's Heptathlon, I'm rapidly coming to the conclusion that Kirkstaller was right all along, there is a God.

he admits to falling over on purpose due to a poor start, that would have cost GB a place in the next round, in what was a pre-planned tactic should they have a slow start. maybe not directly cheating, as not technically against the rules, but certainly not in the Olympic spirit.

Anyone know when we're due to drop the baton in the relay this year?

there is no such thing as the "Olympic Spirit" find it in the UIC handbook and I'll admit it's existance, each team is allowed a restart in the event of a "malfunction" him getting a wobble because of handle bearings is a "malfunction".

they still won the event with a WORLD RECORD having competed in every round, hardly cheating.

" We were saying if we have a bad start we need to crash to get a restart. I just crashed, I did it on purpose to get a restart, just to have the fastest ride. I DID IT. So it was all planned, really."

Signed his own suicide note me thinks.

not by posting a PB on the way to a gold medal and world record, methinks.

The point is, he admitted to cheating. Michael Mansfield could'nt defend that.

no, he didn't admit to cheating, because they didn't cheat, what they did was within the rules.

[url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/olympics/19107973The IOC don't think it's cheating.[/url Seems to me he just got of to a crappy wobbly start and once he realised what was happening he just went with it, knowing they'd get the restart. It's within the rules.

Not like they're showing Team GB much favouritism is it? Just ask [url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/olympics/18912097Pendleton & Varnish.[/url

Absolutely loving the games at the mo, and with the boss on holiday next week I can see a few more days "working from home".

As others have said, it was within the rules and therefore cannot be cheating.

Meanwhile, I thought Rebecca Addlington was disappointing tonight.

yes, because you could have done better?

the American girl was amazing (I wonder if the Chinese coach will accuse her of doping), Addlington has done incredibly well in her career, remember, anyone even n a final is one of the BEST 8 in THE WORLD at the time.

what's your biggest achievement, and how much sacrifice did it require?

Eh? She won a bronze medal in the Olympics. In what world is that disappointing?

As she said ... If you think Silver or Bronze is losing, try her sport.

Felt sorry for Adlington, who suffered from the usual British media treatment of building the expectation on her to an unrealistic level....Yes, she had a good chance going into the race, but if you believed the hype, she was an odds on favourite, which was never the case.

On the subject of somebody who suffers from over expectation from our media, I was glad to see Andy Murray show some grit in his match with Djokovic - For all his detractors, Murray is a top player, and it would be great if he could beat Federer on Sunday and perhaps shut some of his know-nothing critics up....Considering he often gets slagged off for his supposed surlyness, it was good to see Murray show some passion and get the crowd in a similar state.
