Drug tests are not good enough, get her on Jeremy Kyle.

Great idea Jordan. I'll fill out their application forms now

[Marc]

Can we just adopt some of these Chinese? They're probably young enough still and we can make them British.

[Shaun]

I like how the commentators and presenters kept saying that about Ruta Meilutyte :laugh:

[Marc]

She's practically English, she speaks it very well. She's ours, back off Lithuania

She won't be swimming until tomorrow I think.

[Marc]

Well you have one day of freedom then

[Marc]

Enjoy it.

[Shaun]

-politely claps Phelps and his huge ego-

[GypsyGoth]

O say can you see by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming,
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there;
O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave,
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

[Marc]

Thin ice Gothic one.

[Marc]

Ian Thorpe - Gay or not?

[Jordan.]

Everytime they play the American national anthem all I can think of is Borat singing over it.

[GypsyGoth]

Ian Thorpe - Gay or not?

Gay.

[Shaun]

Straight appaz.

[Marc]

Apparently there has been a big fuss about him being gay or not, he says nay but the world says yay.

[Mystic Mock]

Ryan Lochte adjusting his pants and showing his crotch area :amazed:

The swimming is so entertaining

Omg Munchkins.:joker::devil:

[Munchkins]

He made a statement saying he was sick of being accused of being gay
i think hes straight, just camp

[GypsyGoth]

I didn't realise it was an issue.

It's sad he's had to make a statement about it.

[Mystic Mock]

He made a statement saying he was sick of being accused of being gay
i think hes straight, just camp

Kind of a bit like me in some ways.:joker:

Although I can understand as I don't let people outside of my family know that im interested in girls:devil:, even then I don't let them on that much lol.

Ashley Cole though cannot hide that he is gay, it comes out in him.

[Munchkins]

CHAD LE CLOS is on now :)
aw

[Marc]

I didn't realise it was an issue.

It's sad he's had to make a statement about it.

Tis indeed, but he has 5 gold medals and those guys don't so lalalalalaaalaaa

[Marc]

CHAD LE CLOS is on now :)
aw

Aw he's a good guy. C'mon Chad!

[Marc]

Chad wins that semi final :worship:

[lostalex]

Ian Thorpe - Gay or not?

gay.

[Munchkins]

Yay Chad won :D
i hope he wins the final

[lostalex]

He made a statement saying he was sick of being accused of being gay
i think hes straight, just camp

he's definitely gay. remember when Ricky Martin used to make those same types of statements to the press? lol

and i'm not saying he's gay cause i want him to be gay, i don't like Ian Thorpe at all, and i think he's ugly. but he's definitely gay.

[GypsyGoth]

It'll be good to see Chad against Phelps again.

[Marc]

lostalex needs to find out for us, go and shag him pls

[Marc]

He can't stop staring at Mark Foster :laugh:

[Munchkins]

Is it the Netherlands or Holland, i've never understood?

[lostalex]

lostalex needs to find out for us, go and shag him pls

definitely not my type, but speaking of australians, Matthew Mitchem or James Magneson, yes please!

[Munchkins]

I'll gladly go and test Ryan Lochte? even though we know hes straight :P

[GypsyGoth]

Ian & Clare have helped make the swimming the most entertaining part of the olympics so far.

[Munchkins]

Ian & Clare have helped make the swimming the most entertaining part of the olympics so far.

Yeah, Ian is a really good presenter i think :)

[Munchkins]

I like this Netherlands/Holland national anthem

[Marc]

Ian & Clare have helped make the swimming the most entertaining part of the olympics so far.

Them gays doing it well.

definitely not my type, but speaking of australians, Matthew Mitchem or James Magneson, yes please!

No no, you must go for Thorpe please.

[Munchkins]

Casually switching channels

[Mystic Mock]

Casually switching channels
and seeing an old lady in an acid lake on a film wtf is this

I will nickname it Old Lady On Acid.

[Marc]

What channel? -bit off topic :tongue -

[Munchkins]

It was a film called Dante's peak
it was an ITV channel
switched over, and this old lady suicided into an acid lake and died :L

[lostalex]

it's lava not acid.

[Mystic Mock]

Is it the Netherlands or Holland, i've never understood?

The UK calls them Holland, but Holland call themselves the Netherlands.

Japan call themselves Nippon which is pronounced Nihon if your interested in that sort of stuff.

[Shaun]

[Marc]

Wait does this mean somebody doesn't get bronze?

[Munchkins]

Wait does this mean somebody doesn't get bronze?

Funnily enough it kinda is, I told Becky just to go for a bronze, as gold is kinda chavvy.

[Marc]

She did well, for such an ugly athlete tbh

[Jayson]

As soon as I wake up :bored:

[Shaun]

ugly? wow.

[Marc]

Funnily enough it kinda is, I told Becky just to go for a bronze, as gold is kinda chavvy.

I'll show you chavvy, Shaun hold my earrings

[GypsyGoth]

Getting 2 bronze is pretty amazing :worship:

[Marc]

Hey! I'm distressed and angry let me say stupid thhings

[Shaun]

I'm holding nothing after that comment :idc:

[Marc]

Well that's my 9PM scheduled Handy J scrapped

[Shaun]

Ledecky however :idc: die tbh, she has a man's voice

[Jayson]

Swear she sounds Irish

[Marc]

How can a 15 year old do this, it's unbelievable her and that Chinese girl. Insane

[Munchkins]

Katie was INSANE
are they going to accuse her of cheating like Ye Shiwen?
Double Standards

Well done to Becky though <3

[Marc]

I love Ye-Shewen sounds like Yesh-I-Win! :laugh:

[Jayson]

And they put it on the screen as Ye S.

[Black Dagger]

N'aww, I was hoping for a bit better for Adlington, but she's lovely. I'm happy for her <3.

[Novo]

Belmonte must be sick of getting silvers

[Legend killer]

Missy Franklin seems like a really cool girl always very bubbly and happy she has been my star of the pool

[Shaun]

bawwwww, Halsall finished in fifth. Another gold for Kromrormrormrormoyoyo

[GypsyGoth]

She was close.

[Shaun]

awwww Sun Yang's reaction to winning that

[lostalex]

final swimming medals of the games, USA ending strong!! wooohoo!! USA totally dominated the pool this year.

I feel a bit bad for the Australians, they really have been pathetic.

I'm gonna miss the swimming, but the track and field will be good.

[Shaun]

same, swimming's probably my favourite sport to watch. Shame no GB golds though :(

[Munchkins]

same, swimming's probably my favourite sport to watch. Shame no GB golds though :(

Me tooo :( along with Gymnastics

[Shaun]

wonder if there's an outside chance of a GB medal here... won't be gold, but it'd be nice to finish with a bronze

[GypsyGoth]

The swimming has been great, I'll miss it.

[Shaun]

hmm, equal third with Hungary, but our 2nd swimmer's falling behind pretty sharply :/

[Shaun]

Japan are stunning USA :o

[Shaun]

Phelps overtakes him though :amazed:

[Locke.]

USA have got this now

[Shaun]

awwww, GB fourth

[Black Dagger]

N'aww, hard luck, it hasn't been our year in the pool.

Do we have a chance in the outdoor 10k? I think we got silver in 2008 in that.

Edit: Oh Silver and Bronze.

[Lee.]

I didn't know Phelps was retiring :(

[Shaun]

if it wasn't for Magnussen we'd have got bronze, but he's outstanding

[lostalex]

Awesome way for Phelps to end his Career. I salute you Michael Phelps. greatest Swimmer of all time! :bow:

[Munchkins]

Awww 4th place :(

Michael Phelps though - Just amazing :love:

[GypsyGoth]

For me Missy Franklin and Michael Phelps have been the stars of the pool :worship:

[Munchkins]

For me Missy Franklin and Michael Phelps have been the stars of the pool :worship:

Yes! Definitely - i love Missy Franklin :love:

[lostalex]

For me Missy Franklin and Michael Phelps have been the stars of the pool :worship:

I agree. There was so much talk about Ryan Locte before the games, but i think he was disappointing. Phelps showed so much class though, and Missy Franklin was just fun to watch, she seems like such a good-spirited fun girl. Girl next door.

[Legend killer]

^^^ Bit harsh on Loc let's be honest if it was not for the back to back on the same night he would have beat Phelps in the 200 IM(think that was the event) that being said Phelps is by far the greatest Olympic athelete ever

[Shaun]

Franklin, Kromowidjojo, Le Clos and Phelps for me. Not sure how to spell the dutch woman's name :p
