    Don't answer that Rover!!!

    If you say you're home he intends to come round,murder you and dispose of your remains under your patio.

    If you say you're out he's going for burglary and ****ting on your bed.

    I just watched the cycling men's road race won by Richard Carapaz. What a grueling race, 6 hours in the saddle, 33 degrees, and 80% humidity. Thomas crashed again as did Teo G, but credit to the Yates brothers who both finished in the top 20.

    It was, indeed, yes, 3rd ever medal of any kind and 2nd gold.

    I hadn't realised the IOC sponsored an Olympic Refugee Team, did it in 2016 too. Sounds like a good thing. I'd be surprised if the EFL couldn't put a refugee footie team together.

    Wow, Peaty. What a machine! Double Gold, numerous world champion titles, etc. He now holds the 17 fastest times for 100m breast stroke!!
    He is massively underrated in the UK.

    Just had a conversation with sons girlfriend about dressage being a sport....

    How can judged competitions be a sport?

    I can watch any sport where I can tell who won, faster, higher, stronger, longer, more accurate....

    There's quite a few judged sports, skateboarding being the latest addition and there's breakdancing being added at the next Olympics, how the **** is that a sport?

    These competitors are incredibly talented.... But I just can't get excited about something that's decided by someone else.

    (curious, does the dressage horse get the medal!?)
