Are you a Kiwi?

No, but I eat kiwis. The fruit, not the bird, honest!

Good, I've heard they're chewy little buggers.

Good, I've heard they're chewy little burgers.

its a fruit, as hats said!

If you make a smoothie out of them they come with a handy straw..

Does no one get my humour? sigh

Ey? Je ne comprends pas :(

Blimey, did anyone see Oscar Pistorius just lose his race and lay in to the winner?

Physically or verbally?

Say WHAT??

That's so not OK!!

;)

^^^Yes! I wonder if he'll retract the statement or pursue it further.

His outburst wasn't timed very well.

Physically or verbally?

Pool ball in a sock round the back of the changing rooms I heard

Physically or verbally?

Verbally, to the Channel 4 reporter.

(After he did this ^)

I see the UCI blazershits are at work again, denying Jody Cundy a restart and a gold medal after he fluffed his start in the kilo.

Great to see how well team GB are doing.

I went to check out a few events on 4OD last night (as Im over in Melbourne and hadn't seen any of it yet) and was shocked as how bad the commentary was on Sarah Storey's second Gold win? Seriously! It's utter shite!

he should have just fallen off.

Cundy was on The Last Leg last night - they did a nice pastiche of his strop when having a go at sitting volleyball.

Also the guy who gets a boner when riding his horse.

Umm. Wot?!

Lee Pearson, one of the Equestrian riders said that when he's riding well he gets a massive boner.

Also, his horse is called Gentleman.

^Is that an involuntary thing or has he got a 'thing' about horses?

I'm not sure it was ever clarified. channel 4's Paralympics comedy show The Last Leg did a nice send-up of it from the horse's perspective.

One of the Chinese cyclists (Xiaofei Ji) would look right at home in the hipster thread:

5 spoke, disc, risers.
Pretty awesome seeing him ride his adapted road bike in the in-track area.

Other great moment- the Argentinian track coach showing his excitement.

Apologies for old news, just got round to uploading the photos from the day.
