Britain won a staggering number of medals today. We won four golds in cycling, rowing, sailing of course and picked up silvers and bronzes as well. Christ, we even got a bronze in gymnastics. I didn't know we even took part in this. This is the best day in British Olympics that I can ever remember.  Britain is third in the medal table. OK, we won't finish there but this is staggering. Hey it must be a big deal. In massive outburst of spontaneity, the Queen invited them for drinks. Partaay!!! Forget anything I said about switching allegiances. I don't care what my passport says, I am British through and bloody through! Oh, yeah and Chelsea just beat Pompey 4-0 in the opening say of the Premiership.
