Hahaha Russell Brand, the UK's version of Tiny Tim, of tiptoe thru the tulips fame! The only laughable part (Idle was funny though). The Who, the premier "back from retirement " act of all time, the farewell concert gold medalists! Oh well!

MIKE RUTHERFORD ON THE OLYMPICS with some decent singer SINGING WISH YOU WERE HERE. A moment of prog history in the Olympics. And then Russell Brand... Confused Unhappy if you can't sing, use a megaphone.

Gymnastics.  I tried to do a cartwheel once.  It wasn't pretty.
 
Likewise. Being 6' 6'' and 18 stone with absolutely no sense of balance whatsoever, I would look ridiculous and probably break my neck. I'd also have a problem with any horse event, as you'd need a Clydesdale to get me off the ground.
 
A TVR is not a car. It's a way of life.

True, the French used to rule but they did even worse than the Hungarians who at least won the sabre gold totally unexpectedly! The good news is that such results are often unacceptable and 'escrime france' will be back!

Also, quite a good time to be on a female team for america today. Congrats to both the soccer team and the water polo team for bringing home the gold! And the basketball and volleyball team advanced to the gold medal match. Add to that the beach volleyball teams and gymnatics team...been quite an olympics for them.
 
And congrats to that female boxer (whose name I don't remember) who took the only boxing gold for the US this year.
