Does anyone really think things like facts matter anymore.... sheesh. We live in the era of demagoguery... and Great Arses. Truly I love Britain... all of it and all the Brits I've ever met or talked to. One of my dreams is to rent a cottage in Ireland or England.. (or Wales) for at least 6 months and spend some time touring around there. J

Maybe there would be more excitement if THIS was an Olympic event?

The term 'Great' just means 'largest' - it being the largest island in the British Isles. As far as I'm aware, the 'Great' in Great Britain refers to the 'largest' island of the British Isles. OK, so I have been wondering. Lets assume that I am a young man visiting London and I meet a pretty girl and we get along. One day she asks me if her butt looks big in her jeans and I reply... "you have a great arse". Did I just blow it? Did I answer, "yes, you have a large butt"? Inquiring minds wnat to know. J

Our local BBC Radio station featured this actual piece of Olympics reporting earlier... "... and Mark Foster has suggested that Rebecca Adlington winning her medal should prove to be a morale booster for the Team GB swimming team" Huh

A swimming "expert" on Sky sports yesterday delivered the insightful............ " if she had only managed to increase her stroke rate ( ie swim faster ) she could possibly have won silver or gold "

Team GB has a football team (which has more than one team), a swimming team, an athletics team, a gymnastics team, etc, etc, etc. Strummy try harder...  Go Team GB's teams.

The "Team USA" chatter here doesn't bother me. We've been hearing that for decades. My personal gripe is that (in the US) the networks only televise sports where they think Team USA might have a shot. I suppose all nations do that. I feel sorry for the nations where their athletes don't medal very often. Their coverage must be pretty lame.
"Today, from 6:00 AM until 11:00 PM, we'll be live at the Medal Round of Synchronized Planking!"
On second thought, I think I know why they don't show that one here.

The less fortunate countries that don't win medals often are athletes that are generally just happy to be representing their country for national pride.

Oh how Great Britain is: One day we will conquer the world again.
We will be winning everything, killing everyone and making sure that people say that Britain...is great again.
Lets put the great in great Britain.

Anytime I hear someone using the word "Great" in reference to themselves, I think of a scene from the Sci Fi TV show Firefly. It's the one where Captain Malcom Renolds has just won a sword duel against a superior swordsman. I love how he says that a Great man would allow his opponent to live. He then jabs him in the chest and says, I'm Pretty Good. He jabs him again and says, I'm Okay.
