    yes, jessica ennis is nice lookin

    but she's got no tits ..and thats a big no no in my book

    Her tits are the least of her genetic anomalies if you take them all into account.. the other 99% do her justice.

    Main thing I'd have against her is the fact that she could outrun me =p

    Runners don't generally have big boobs, what are you expecting?

    I imagine having a very low body fat percentage would reduce the boob region a fair bit.

    In general I have loved the Olympics, but one thing that kind of bothers me is the logo.

    Anyone else think it is the most unappealing one in Olympics history? Also the theory going around that you can see the word 'ZION' out of it.

    I couldn't imagine buying a t-shirt with it, for example.

    The problem with the logo, apart from the fact it is sh!t, is that it looks like Lisa Simpson giving Bart head. And I mean it really looks like it.

    Not talking about you, but I love how people are still pointing that out thinking they're being really original and funny...
    (Still accurate though)

    That wasn't my intention. I haven't seen it said in here, it's the olympics thread and the logo was mentioned. I didn't mean to rehash some tired bs.
    Anyway no offence taken.

    I really wasn't aiming that at you, just making an observation because your post reminded me :p

    Yet another desperate day for the Irish. By God's grace the heavens opened and allowed Cuddihy's average time to achieve a semi final. Our track and field will undoubtedly yield nothing so we all look to Taylor. She should medal at least, as she just has to win one fight to do so, (Which brings into question the credibility of women's boxing?) Devalued........

    Hopeful our sailing girl Murphy can claim something. I fear another blowout for her though.

    Someday the ISC will realise that investment is something you do *before* you get results and we might get a bit of a stick to swing.

    London was the aim for our progression in the games. The home event if you will. But yet the reality is apart from a couple of boxing medals (hopefully) it will once again be abject failure for Team Ireland, the grants are being wasted on these losers. I guess we all better blame the GAA.

    There is something about sport and its supporters that transcends bigotry, even during the american apartheid black athletes were still gods on the field of sport. We are all equal in this endeavour, I could have been an elite long jumper or triple jumper but I wasn't, and so what, we all could have excelled somewhere in life but most us don;t. So I will not disrespect those who did, and , really, they did it for themselves and not for their geological location. I have just admiration for them. So as a supporter of sport, I will shout for team GB, because their athletes are close to me, I know their stories and admire their discipline and wish I could have had it.

    The Olympics are that way, just a bunch of human beings in peaceful competition, its a cultural human achievement and very special.
    London are the perfect hosts and doing a sterling job, enjoy it, and appreciate the pure human achievement of 208 nations together in games where no-one dies, but the result means so much.

    Cultural events like this make me delight in life.

    Yeah, can't stand the 'blame GAA' for lack of Olympic sporting success. Take a look at two countries which perform very well on a per capita basis - Australia and New Zealand, both of which are dominated by non-Olympic sports. Rugby Union in NZ as well as Rugby League, Aussie Rules and cricket in Australia.

    Very few of the medals come in traditional track & field though, rowing, swimming and cycling seem to be the dominant sports - the ones the Africans tend not to excel at (whether through lack of interest or the high cost of entry).

    Did you mean Denise Lewis? If so I concur

    The RTE vulchers couldnt wait to get in and interview him after the race. They know his personality, they know he was injured and they know he ran a stinker of a race. But they could smell a story, the panel in the studio weren't too happy that he was interviewed.

    Also, thank you Jimmy Magee for giving me the first "Did he really say that?" moment of the Olympics with his comment about blackouts and a certain boxers boots.

    The grants system we have is pathetic. Basically, to get a grant of a certain level, you need to achieve the standard that grant supposedly is intended to help you reach. In essence, you get funding as soon as you've proven you don't need it. The sports council rewards achievement after the fact, rather than investing and developing. Total cock.

    Morrison currently in 42nd place in the tri-athlon. On the cycling leg now, a lot of the riders seem to be hitting the deck at a particular corner...

    Another disaster- this time Aileen Morrison in the triathlon.

    pressure mounting on Katie Taylor by the second.

    Orange pilled.

    Fair play to Pistorius. He's rather fast for a fellow with no legs...

    Interesting by Michael Johnson - the crowd accept him on condition he doesn't win, if he starts clocking good times the public may start saying that his prostetics give him an unfair advantage.

    Will be interesting to see the reaction if that does happen
