Man from Leeds throws bottle on the track seconds before the 100 meter finals. What is it with people from Leeds? Why are they so mental?

People from Leeds are brilliant. Leeds is brilliant. But maybe I'm mental too.

Well obviously, compared to the Scots, people from Leeds are Lord Snooty and Lady Penelope. But things like booing a minute's silence during the football, continued hooliganism and that old favourite, crowd racism, don't exactly portray them in the nicest of lights in the sporting arena.

Chucking a bottle at Bolt during the Olympics just re-enforces their negative image.

Haaaaa! So that's why I had to curtsey all the time.

Just watched another British Olympic hopeful completely screw up and then burst into tears on camera. My sympathy tolerance has been officially exceeded and if I hear 'sniff, sniff, I worked so hard for this, boo hoo, sorry I let everyone down, waa, waa' one more time, I'm gonna go nutso.

Why can't they just be honest? - 'It was my big moment, I blew it, I'm British, what the hell did you expect?'

This will be the one trying to throw a javelin with a f**ked-up elbow would it? Yeah, shame on her!

Well yeah, she knew she was fooked and by selfishly deciding to compete anyway, she denied a younger hopeful from gaining valuable Olympic experience. But she is just the latest in a long line of crying incompetents which have plagued the Games from day one. Including the Judo guy and Rebecca Adlington 'swimming is really hard' tirade.

Most of them are crying because they'll have to go out and get jobs and not live off juicy endorsements and television appearances for the rest of their lives.

We're British, we're meant to be stoical in the face of adversity, not burst into reality show style tears every time we mess up.

Oooh, there is a fun game on Google.com today.

Now just eff off and take your ego with you (if it's not too heavy to carry that is) . . .

After initially deciding to take advantage of the one-off permission for them to not need to observe fasting during Ramadan, many muslim athletes, upon tasting British food, decided to stick with the religous convention after all.

Bit of a bummer for the spaniards that......with around 20 gold medals on offer for one event it would have gone a long way towards solving the crisis.

The ego has landed....
pity it wasn't a bit further up the sand pit for him!

Anyway he wins gold silver and bronze for the biggest tw*t in the games (apart from that is the Bulgarian shot putter who incidentally was stopped at Heathrow on suspicion of carrying 2 kilos of crack in her pants)

I'm not suggesting for one moment that Chinese olympic swimmers are getting any younger. However reports are filtering through from Bejing of 8 guys in a pool - simply standing on the starting blocks and ejaculating into the pool when the gun goes off.

Fastest sperm wins......

No, most of them are crying because training for their chosen field has been their whole life and they feel like they've let themselves down.
