John Inverdale is a penis.

Why? I like him, one of BBC's better presenters. He's no Balding though.

South Korea are 3rd in the medal table. That wasn't expected, surely?

[Buzzo]

It is amazing to see the blood sweat and tears which go into these performances.

It would be nice to see some pro footballers taking some inspiration of the examples that these guys set.

He gets hammered on Twitter - don't really understand it.

Fencing, Badminton, Table Tennis etc. Won't stay there that is for sure.

Edit: Looking at the medal table the badminton and TT not in, but Judo, shooting and archery have accounted for many of them. And they actually have comparatively few medals - just half of them are gold.

Jessica Ennis has started well. And has a nice arse.

John Inverdale asked if she was the greatest Female Rower ever. Then Redgrave just answered a totally different question

I feel bad, he did a really nice piece with the Rower after I posted that.

He's less annoying with the rowing than with tennis and Rugby...He can come across as totally smug, and acts like he was a top class sportsman himself.

Dunno. Maybe I have an irrational hatred?
