Playing to the masses a'int that funny.

Fabulously talented British athletes have won tonight.

Let's celebrate.

Trying to score cheap points and divide the nation, when everyone is in a happy mood.

Pathetic really.

Emotional, too. I had to fight to hold it together at certain points. Frequent trips to the fridge, bathroom etc were needed!

I'm in love with Denise Lewis! Fit in both senses of the word, elegant, sharp brain (great on QoS) and an emotional side too.

Surely the people foaming about that Wail front page realise it's a spoof...

Some wouldn't know satire if it smacked them on the nose...

Seems not!

If only somebody could eliminate Stuart Motormouth Storey and the increasingly gross Inverdale, 'twould be almost perfect.

Inverdale actually showed some emotion when the rowing lads came second and he was interviewing them, good job it cut away i thought he was going to cry.

True. I actually liked him when he patted that poor lad on the shoulder and told him 'You've let no one down.'

Ha! Reet div me, one too many celebratory toasts!

Indeed. Recent comments from the likes of Aiden Burley, the [iDaily Mail[/i etc have been pretty disgusting and divisive. Fortunately, I'm sure none of them would have the two-facedness to now celebrate some of these victories. For instance, only a week ago, the [i Mail[/i was telling us all that it was nothing more than left-wing propaganda, in the opening ceremony, to suggest a happy, functional mixed-race family with an educated mother could exist.

Take a bow, Jess Ennis: father, a self-employed Jamaican painter and decorator and mother, a Yorkshire social worker (see, it gets worse – a nasty public-service, lazy inadequate; practically abusing children herself, and stealing a gold-plated pension off the state © [iMail[/i, [iSun[/i etc). Ennis herself attended state schools – including a comprehensive, which means it's an absolute miracle that she learned to be competitive, according to the frothing comments over at the [iTelegraph[/i this week, in response to the cretinous former Miniature for Sport, who was seeking to make big political capital out of claiming that state schools were failing to produce sportsmen and women and public schools dominate in this.

Interesting too that the Mail was claiming, only a few weeks ago, that Team GB had 60 odd "plastic Brits" who were not really British. Then today they're foaming at the mouth celebrating Mo's gold.

Can anyone else remember the paper that fought to get Zola Budd "non-plastic" British citizenship so she could knock Mary Decker out of the LA Games?

Hypocrites doesn't come close

Indeed. Then editor David English boasted he'd get a passport for Budd in two weeks. It took him four weeks of bullying ministers.

Maybe the reason GB / England RL is always beaten by Australia is because we pick players from outside Yorkshire: www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article ... ralia.html

Just a thought

Mens boxing and mens 100m, they always seem so arrogant and cocksure unlike any other sport (maybe a few in football).

Anyone else notice that?

A few in football? A few?

Not seen any of the boxers interviewed, but they just interviewed a young British sprinter on the BBC and he seemed perfectly pleasant.

You're all only jealous, depending on how the triathalon goes the market town of Otley might have more medal winners than most countries

That probably says more about Otley, that everybody is riding their bikes, or running extreme distances, just to get away from the place!!....

I'd rewrite that to say that men's boxing and football always seem so arrogant and cocksure unlike any other sport (maybe a few in men's 100m).

It's not half bad Otley. It all depends on which side of the river you live on.

We wouldn't need it that's why.

Any fool knows that Greystone is in Yorkshire and its famous athlete son Alf Tupper, didn't need to train, all he needed was lots of fish & chips

I noticed that a lot of the sprinters liked to make strange gestures and faces to the camera before the race. I'm hoping it leads eventually to full on WWE style promos.
