I hate saying it, but there is something my untrained eye is clearly missing with the Chinese dives. It's been pretty much every event that other divers (certainly not just GB ones) have often put in more spectacular dives or had a cleaner line of entry and not been rewarded as highly. I'm not trying to claim jury favouritism, but I'd love to know what detail I'm missing. Hazel Irvine on the BBC has just said that if China had only competed in diving and nothing else, they'd still be 11th on the medal table, ahead of the likes of NZ and Canada.

At best, it’ll be another Change UK - an idea that gains traction, very briefly, before just disappearing into the ether. At worst, they’ll destroy their reputations as well as their careers. Not that Corbyn hasn’t done that to himself already.

It was no comment on Paul Heaton personally. Neither was it a comment on the sentiment of his songs. Just the noise, the vibe and (mostly) stereotypes of Radio 2 listeners. I'm not even saying they were fair

Paul Heaton sings like a Benidorm karaokeist. But I'm sure it gets the Brexit-voting, boiled cabbage-scoffing Radio 2 listeners dancing their tartan-lined moccassins off once they've grunted and shuffled themselves off their wingback chairs.

TOBY FUCKING ROBERTS!!

Elsewhere, GB's Toby Roberts is doing jobs in the Fucking Climbing. Has just guaranteed himself at least a Silver. Those boulder walls are insane.

KJT's in bloody good form and clearly in a good, focused headspace. It's not over yet but frankly to even be challenging the mighty Nafi Thiam is astonishing given the adversity she has faced. She deserves the world but a Fucking Silver would still be an achievement she can be mighty proud of.

45.49m isn't far off KJT's PB and is very much good enough to keep her in contention. Great job!

I think we're giving the take a bit more attention than it was worth. It just came across as spiteful. Negative for the sake of it. Anyway, please let's move on. KJT managed to pull off a long jump within a cm of Thiam. She exceeded expectations there, she can do so in the javelin. 800m should be tasty. Everything to play for.

Oh no offence DDT, I was talking specifically about giving problem users the boot rather than the expertly composed public bollockings you normally deal in Hilarious that Crem is spamming the report button. I never use it but I'd not be surprised in the slightest if they were often used against him. But yes, something needs to change. Even putting him on ignore isn't helping, as per my post on the top of this page.

Gladly if it means getting The Housefuckingmartins out of here

Even without that scene in Sex Education (one of my fave shows ever), I liked Love Missile. It’s fun.

KJT’s a Fucking goddess. I’d LOVE for her to get the gold, and it’s looking good at the end of Day 1 of the Heptathlon.

Frankly, even with him on ignore, I'm sick and tired of him still being everywhere - not just the "you've chosen to ignore..." all over the place, but the quotes and the discussions about what kind of untrue/unsourced/inflammatory shite he's come out with next. I might look to leave if he doesn't.

Ban the fucker. DI and PB are usually brilliantly proactive with the banhammer but this is beginning to take the Michael.

Fucking dirty here between Carlin and Ota. Not in that way. More's the pity.

Nope.

They didn't get gold so we'll probably scrap all their funding.

What a round! Pleased Tina and Bronski made it.
