That's the one. Thank you Stephen. I'm obviously turning into a right soppy old sausage but I think it's wonderful. I loved the stripped back version the Beeb played.

As long as the 63% vote accordingly that'll be fine.

Some heartwarming photos of the GB team arriving back today. I know some of them will be gutted their event didn't go better but they should know they contributed to a great two weeks of competition that loads of us thoroughly enjoyed.

Can anyone please tell me what the lovely song was that's just closed out the Beeb's Olympic coverage. Thanks.

There was a bloke in the bus queue watching it on his phone who graciously provided the gory details. I seldom leave leave early but I'd well and truly had my fill of them today.

Possibly the most depressing half of football in a long, long time. They even had the bad manners to score after the 87th minute when I decided to call it a day. 15th sounds good at the moment, we're in deep πŸ’©

Ski Mountaineering is now a worthy contender for greatest sport in the world.

I saw they were winning 18-4. I've never been a RL game. I'll have to address that.

Well done the Curlers, you're back to being British now 😁

I wonder if they're being held bargaining chip in lieu of Trump dropping heaven and earth on them. Unlikely but...

Had they never heard of Nazanin? It's the equivalent of a Darwin Award.

There's a place on the A44 near Aberystwyth and they get fed at 2pm GMT or 3 pm BST. We just stumbled on this but missed the feed by 30 mins but the sky was still spectacular.

I have seen a sky in mid Wales choc full of Red Kites. Be still my beating heart ❀️

Looks a good achievement from where I'm standing but I'm sure she'll be pig sick.

Not that I'm altogether bothered but I've just turned that clownshow of a cup draw off. The FA want stuffing for how they've demeaned what was the greatest cup competition in the world.
