MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
Just saying like 🙂
*Not my maths, but taken from ITV Calendar
Brilliant, and if the Browlees are on form today there will be more.
Never fails to surprise me how small and parochial people are prepared to go..like when the news tells us 350 people die in a plane crash and 1 is form here etc
Junkyard - clearly from a lesser place 😉
Kat Copeland, one of the rowers who won a gold is from my home town of Ashington Northumberland. We've exported a few medal winners over the years including the Charltons which for a scruffy ex mining town with less than 10,000 sufferers is quite awe inspiring.....
ah well junky. Way to bring a light hearted observation crashing down eh?
good morning yorkshire!
Chris,
In bed,
Sheffield
GO TEAM YORKSHIRE!
Isn't there a tiny town in northern Ireland with 3 gold medalists? Where would they be in the medal table?
Yes I just have to make do with Wiggins living in the same town as me...times are hard
No, you have to make do living in lancashire.
Times ARE hard.
😉
I know the shame of having you lot as neighbours 😳
I am from Scotland I dont care about this schism tbh
Don't want to sound pedantic, and this may not be the case, however you can't just stack up all the medal winners who are from Yorshire. Were any of the winners in team events where the other members of the team are not from Yorkshire? If so then it wouldn't count.
Funny stat though. My father in law is from Yorkshire. He will be amused.
Hey,guys lets just think of all the medals our global community has won.
Each and every beautiful person is a winner.
Right, that's me being nice for today ,back to grumpy pants.
Brilliant, and if the Browlees are on form today there will be more.
I'd prefer it if they were on form on Tuesday, not sure how they might contribute to the medals today 😉

That's like Mo Farah training in the USA.
And then the yanks jumping on the Mo bandwagon 'cos he's better than their own. 😉
Chris Tomlinson who was in the long jump yesterday went to my school and was the succesor to my triple jump crown at sports day.
As established in another thread we are all Kenyans, so isn't Kenya doing well.
Indeed it is.....he only even lives in the same borough as me so perhaps more like a Canadian claiming Mo

Best headline in local paper ever was 'Hull Man lost at Sea'
The Titanic had gone down.
I stand corrected over the Brownlees, i am not in the UK so picking bits and pieces up but yes Tuesday will be fine if the Tykes rock up on form.

She went to school in Yarm, and lives near Stokesley - She belongs to us now!

Ed Clancy's Gold postbox, well done fella, maybe we'll see his support in the Championship next year too!

Plymouth is so "everyone knows everyone" that at work we recently played "the six degrees of Tom Daly". Though most of us managed it in less than six moves/associations and a total of three of my colleagues turned out to to be 2nd cousins or by-marriage related to him.
Favourite connections of the contest were "my mate sold his dad a van once" and "my sister danced at the prom with him and he was well buff."

All ney sayers shall be beaten to death with a whippet! An angry one.

She lives in Ingleby Barwick - which is in Cleveland, not Yorkshire
When the war comes Cleveland will be assimilated.
I thought Yorkshire [u]was[/u] a country... with it being full of... er, anyway 😀
If we go by where people are born, and consider traditional county borders (seeing as Yorkshire is now several counties):
Andrew Triggs Hodge - born in Buckinghamshire
Katherine Copeland - born in Northumberland
That leaves Yorkshire with three gold medalists: Jess Ennis, Ed Clancy and Brownlee
Lancashire has four gold medalists - Peter Charles (Liverpool) Etienne Stott (Manchester) Jason Burke (Colne) & Jason Kenny (Bolton).
Just one of many reasons why Lancashire is better. 😉
If the Brownlee boys were a country they would be 32nd in the medal table. However they are not a country so this is irrelevant!!
