The Dew Drop Inn Virtual Games of the XXX Olympiad Pub, London

First topic message reminder :

The Dew Drop Inn Virtual Games of the XXX Olympiad Pub, a place where you can come in for a sly beverage and discuss whatever's on your mind, or just eavesdrop on the regulars if you fancy a break from all the rugby chat.

This week the pub has set up in the host city London, where we can watch the greatest athletes from all four corners of the globe compete in a multitude of Sports under the one thousand flame Olympic torch... each wearing the 5 coloured Olympic rings of blue, white (or black), red, yellow and green.

"Citius, Altius, Fortius" (faster, higher, stronger) has been the motto for the modern Olympic Games since their beginning in 1896.
(but not too high obviously!)

The only rule in this pub is one of mutual respect for everyone in it, oh and no tampering with the pictures of Marcus Aurelius, Henri Didon, Baron Pierre de Coubertin, Sir Steve Redgrave, Cameron Van De Burgh, Marianne Vos, Murray Rose, Jesse Owens, Emil Zátopek,
Zara Phillips and her fabulous horse "Toytown" and last but not least.... Boris Johnson playing whiff-whaff against Danny Boyle.

Wow, really Willy? fairdo's to Murray. I honestly thought Federer would spoil his party again.

Well done Andy. So he can win a final at Wimbledon.

Ha yeah that's true Breaker!

Awh just watching the gym boys getting their gongs. Bless Whitlock, he's only a babi at 19. One for the teeny girlies to fancy

You can fancy him if you like. I won't tell anyone.... promise.

Breaker! He's jail bait!

What's next worth watching...?

So much going on. Hard to choose but I'm sure your eagle eyes will spot somebody worth a squiz.

I'm not Murray's greatest fan but I was certainly cheering him on in that. He did Britain proud in that match. I bet this wasn't a gold they foresaw before the games.

Hi Munsty I honestly thought it would be the one match he'd never win, but now he's got it out of the way, he'll be a lot more confident come Wimbledon next year. Good for him.

How are you Cari anyway? Enjoying the 'Lympics?

I can't wait for the 100M Final tonight. Definitely the highlight sport of the games. But more importantly, first I shall be going to Thomond Park to watch the Super Blues, Limerick FC, beat the Premiership champions, Manchester City.

I'm good thank Munsty. I've enjoyed what I've seen of the Olympics. Haven't been watching it as much as everyone else. I've enjoyed watching the sports we don't normally see on TV. I didn't watch the athletics last night as I was watching a film, but it all looked very exciting.

Well I fell asleep, so I missed out but ended up staying up till three watching all the highlights.

What film did you watch?

Need a micro nap before the 100m finals. See you in a few hours.

God, with my hangover and the Games and my back still injured today has been a total write-off. Was meant to do so much, have done nothing of use at all

Sorry about the delayed reply. I watched the second part of the Wallander film Sidetracked. Amazing Swedish drama was on BBC4.

Just enjoying the men's hockey. Oz v GB and Oz have just scored. They look like they're playing on a blue carpet. When I played hockey in school we had to play on gravel. Bloody hurt when you fell over as well.

Got to love power naps, i live on them now

I slept for an hour this afternoon too. I just couldn't stay awake. Feel better for it now.

Oz have scored again 0 - 2. Do Oz have to beat us at everything?! (Sorry Breaker )

I am an old man so i need my naps

Burning the candle at both ends are you Billy?

This hockey isn't as exciting as hurling. At least they don't wear helmets so I can have a good look at them

I was but i must not post anymore today, apparently we have posted too much
Its been one of those days when we have simply had a laugh.

Take care tonight all

Ah, I was only teasing.

Nos da Billy.

Hockey is like football but far more interesting. Never really got into it at school, but looks like good fun

Yeah CJ...they have a sin bin too. An Oz player just got sent to the bin and they played Pink's "Trouble" song over the PA.

Big night tonight. I'd love to see someone break the 100m record.

I love how cocky Bolt is. He wasn't even trying that last 10m and still ran 9.87. Simply stunning.

Seriously guys. Biggest night in the London Olympics and I'm the only one here?

I'm here on and off

Stay and chat cj!

This hockey is fascinating. GB back to within one of the Aussies!

Really? Good comeback then!

Where are you from, Willy?

Ah we're equal!

Aww what a comeback.

Words can't express how much I'm looking forward to this 100m final.

Right chaps what have I missed?

How did the 100m SFs go?

Bolt was stunning Rodders.

Blake looked good also.

I just hope the drugs cheat doesn't place

Sounds awesome then Willser. We could see a fast final?

How did the yank boys do? Any brits get in?

Gay muffed his start a bit, still looked good

Pritorius out. Fair play to that man .

JJ Nevin on in the boxng, go on son .

Ireland first medal could be coming up....

Wow that was awesome! Come on JJ!

Nevin has done it! Guaranteed Bronze! That was some fight!

Great fight by Nevin there. Tough match against the Cuban though if he wants gold.

Did you see that bodyshot willser by the Mexican, Nevin showed real guts there. Seems like a very classy Boxer but maybe not the strongest guy?

Good luck to him in the next round that was some effort.

Do you know when Barnes fights next?

Come on Christine!

Wow she got silver! Great effort there.

Stunning finish. Not gold but a classy finish for silver.

Controversial pointing against Campbell in the boxing

Another unexpected medal

Right lads. Predictions time!

I'm going for Bolt Blake Gay as a 1, 2, 3.

Bolt, Blake, Gay
