Thanks on behalf of Great Britain for those who have congratulated us. And congratulations to Yoda himself, who managed to use the most number of emoticons in one post. It turns out that the people who are consulting on the Olympics' IT services also provide support for my workplace. God help them. If you notice times and leaderboards disappearing, it's while they told people to log out while they restarted the servers. Hershey, your confusion can be explained by two methods: 1. The announcement may have had an early press release to give media time to cover the correct result. 2. "Live", as it turns out, can be about 15mins late. This can be seen in many TV programmes where bad language or unknown results may occur, to give the editing team time to censor any unsuitable material. I believe "Live" means as soon as it happens, give or take the time to beam it across the world. I think this use of the word "Live" is against the Trades Description Act. Drie, why not visit the Olympics? Best to come over early to avoid the rush. 7yrs ought to do it.

I definitely know for sure that I will be going to the Olympics. Besides paying school debt, that is my other big thing money-wise. One of my cousins might even be on the National Soccer Team by then. So Drie, are you going to beat the rush and just move there so you can get a good seat... on QH's lap?

Careful, there, young'un...
She will be sure to get a good view, though as I won't be visiting the actual Olympics, and my house is very far away from it all (unless you want soaking wet people in swimming costumes), there's not much to see.

I agree with Nome. Those are the ones I'll sit down to watch.
