What Grimmy lad got up to last night is the last thing people think about on their way to work..

I don't understand why what Chris did last night is so much more relevant than what Grimmy did? As everyone here knows, I'm gutted that the show is ending and Grimmy can never replace Chris in my affections, but objectively I don't see the difference. I get bored of Chris' endless gym stories sometimes - they are no more relevant to me that Grimmy's Camden antics.

Going to the Gym and losing weight are easier for the wider audience to relate to than going to celeb bashes and cool gigs. Celeb bashes and cool gigs are what the target demographic will want.

[Nicola_Red]

I think I'd rather the latter. Neither are anything like my life, but I find all the weight loss talk oppressive and trigger-y, and I can't be the only one. I accepted a long time ago that it's part of a show I love, but I won't miss it.

Grimshaw is just keeping the bed warm for a year or two until Greg James gets the job. Greg is the darling of the BBC trust and Radio 1 management.

Gym or otherwise, Chris discussed, mostly, subjecst which the masses could relate to. Nick, less so.

Britain's world dominance in cycling this year. I'm almost lost for words.

Edit - Sir Chris Hoy just won as well. Hero.

Yep, gotta say the same thing, it was a brilliant afternoon in the cycling. With Laura then Chris getting golds, shame about Victoria, but Silver still a good result.

I didn't realise how young Laura Trott is - one to pick up the baton from Victoria definitely, she's brilliant. Well they all are, as you both said the cycling team have defied belief (for two Olympics running now).

I did have a little rant about how they changed things on Twitter though:
One athlete from each nation per event policy to stop British cycling dominance has not only failed, it's woefully inconsistent - in Beijing China won gold, silver, bronze in both the men's and women's singles table tennis; they've dominated the sport for years, yet you're still allowed multiple competitors per country in these events, indeed China have won gold and silver in both again.

Heeyyy, that looks a wee touch over 140 characters.

Badger! I had that picture on my first ever sig when S4B told me to pipe down. Ah the memories.

She's been back to ask me about the forum tribute, so she must still lurk occasionally

Went something like 'pipe down newbie' and you went 'ah stick your post count up your arse'.

Loved that post, love that bag (serious bag not s4b).

Thought I seen her name in chat the other morning, poor Zoot.

Had a great day out at the Harry Potter studio tour. It's really well done and it is well worth the trip.

You had to mention it didn't you?!! Be warned of sexual advances from young Benji....

[bmstinton93]

If you had mentioned it before I would have given you sexual favours to go with you...

[The Deadly]

That is one of the better offers I've had for some time.

She popped into Chat the other day. On good form I thought.

This morning I was treated to the most pretty sunrise behind Ratcliffe power station. This image is just from google, but its not far off... t'was lovely. The steam coming from cooling towers turned pink with the morning sun...

My kids have made the front cover of the Bracknell News! They got to hold the Olympic torch the other day.
