"Last year the group left inmates locked up for almost 24 hours at a British jail after losing the keys to cells. In another incident, guards tagged a man's false leg, allowing him to remove it and break a court-imposed curfew."

Once the media gets it's teeth into something they'll drag up anything to support their agenda.

It's all just typically British 'tutt, tutting' if it hadn't been security it would have been the catering, if it hadn't been the catering it would have been the Trains, if it hadn't been the Trains it would have been the Airports....yadaa, yadaa, yadaa.

Expect the whining to cover all of the above over the next month or so, along with a few other issues they haven't thought of yet and of course the weather.

Team GB would win all the Golds if pessimism was a category, sadly they'd all get injured when they went to collect because the podiums weren't up to spec, suffered from shoddy build quality and therefore all started collapsing.

It's not a bug it's a feature of hosting the Games in the UK.  Which reminds me the Torch Relay comes past here today, I'd go and watch but the flame will probably go out if I do.

Actually when I say 'comes past here' I should say near here as nothing actually comes here except the bubonic plague, french invaders, smugglers and displaced boat people.

I have a fine roman army inspired shiny breastplate, leather shorts and a helmet with a fluffy tuft...but this isn't the place for talking about any of that.

Is going downhill on a book and skate an Olympic event? I fancy some medals there if so.

I mean we won a Gold at Calgary for the Winter version of that event.
