Pontius; as someone who hasn't managed to get his leave in for 10 years+ (along with pretty much every other member of my sqn), I'm delighted for you that you didn't struggle, but fairly astonished that you choose this forum to advertise the fact. As for the other grumpy old man with a million posts who will moan about "jockstraperry" and "Coe's folly", well done to you Sir if you've managed to be unmoved by the achievements of team GB. I, personally, have found the games to be utterly inspiring; a shining example of what we can be, rather than a constant tirade about what we used to be!
