Damn You [name of unklehomer’s employers redacted] !

“I’m sorry, your version of Flash is out of date.”

Teddy is now officially thrown out of cot. I had a cunning plan involving a small IE window and a subtle single earphone…

You guys are my commentators. Go!

What are those bikes GB are riding? I saw Wiggo on one at the start of the week and couldn t work out what the hell it is.

not much happening taking it easy and just pootling – well pootling at Olympic pace in a peleton.
Bit cold some of them putting on tops

Loving the Olympic kits. Germany is putting me in mind of Escaoe to Victory, Belgium is proper old school cool. GB not so good – wgaf if they grab the gold for Cav though!

Massive piiss stop! Never show them on the TdF!!!

Piss stops a plenty.

Jeez, I guess they all over hydrated.

Nice houses.

If Back le Bid succeeds you may see narrower. By the by, everyone should fill that in, would be an awesome Grand Depart.

I know I could be being monumentally stupid here but where can I watch it? BBC1 have swimming on

I hate to be negative, but why don’t the commentators know who everyone is. There will be lot of people watching for the first time. I’m hoping the commentators step up soon. Come on fellas! Where is to Rob Warner!

Online, bbc > TV > olympics >Cycling

Possible red button action too

Is Cav growing his side burns?

Excellent, thanks dude!

BBC3.

red button then the sports are there alphabetically

Sky and Virgin have 24 channels of Olympics in HD.

That’s a big ‘ole gap already
