[twistedAM]

BBC hasn't got it on Freeview.

It's all about boats today.

Still they're bound to show Wendy's gold

 

[ScallyWag II]

Buggerrit, missed him, bloody rowing

Anyone know how Kenny did?

 

[JTG]

fuck's sake, are the BBC oblivious to the excitement around the cycling? We don't just want to see the medal races, we wanna see our riders pissing all over everyone else every time they go out

What? Is the interactive thingy not on Freeview? That's shit.

Try the beeb's olympic cycling part of their website, they show live coverage. That's what i watched last week in work.
