What is this county called "West of the Pennines"? I've never heard of it.

The Ordnance Survey disagree with you about where the medalists come from BTW.

I trust their judgement over yours.

Oh look, more golds to the west of the Penines than the east.

Was that 'Ooops' and 'sorry'?

Now that is a seriously interesting graphic.

Thank you for that, Mr Scooter.

Brilliant! They never learn - strong of arm, thick of head!

If Yorkshire were a country, it would still live in the shadow of the smaller county of Lancashire.

So much for the Olympics bring the nation together in unity and in a happy spirit. Yorkshire people have single-handely sought to undermine both - pathetically bragging about Yorkshire medallists and, allegedly, thowing a bottle on the track. Give them independence I say and cut off their subsidies.

A 3rd World Country....... Yorkshire.

On a frightening note, what's worse?
The Spice Girls being asked to play ( sic) at the closing ceremony, or the fact that it's taking them 8 hours per day to learn 1 record?

Well done to the British Tae Kwon Do comittee for putting Muhamad through instead of aaron cook.


he managed to get to the final 16 lost to an average spaniard and showed very poor discipline throughout.

indeed, he was fairly useless, but not his fault, he was offered the place and took it.
