I feel that Terry Wogan has given up commentating for the United Kingdom so he can enter MYMU 2009!!
What do you guys think? 
I think the possability is there!
hey molly natasha danvers , shes fit shes black, shes british and shes a bronze medal winner in the womens hurdles lol
garry chelsea!
I agree with you!!!
GBR so far got 16 gold 9 sliver and 8 bronze!!
Maybe more to come!
hey molly christine ohurougu was black she was fit, she won gold and she was british so thats your idea totally blown out of the water lol, way to go team GB
My goodness! UK has now 16 gold medals!!!
oh defonitly has to be alan carr and justin lee 
I think we Brits have a Fetish with Flight Attendant's outfits.
Oh come on Jonny I'm sure Andy's suit was more expensive than that..LOLLLLLLL
but we did invest £235 million into the Olympics, which is a tad more than we do to eurovision, so that probably explains why we're so bad at eurovision and alright at the olympics lol!
LOL good one, Jonny.
15 Golds for UK!!
Brilliant!!!!!!!
UK may came last in ESC but is the top European country!!
Congratulations to the Uk from me, too, they're doing great in the Olympics. I wish it was them who got the most medals (or any european country) instead of America.. Americans aren't playing by the rules.
Wow, 14 golds! Congratulations 
team gb now have 2 guys in the final of another cycling event so thats a guaranteed gold and silver so thats gonna be 14 gold, its amazing, can we have a eurovision bike contest
wooh hoo 13 golds now! go team gb
@ molly since when did swimming become a posh sport? and the british guys who won a sailing medal are from working class families in the east end of london, and as for no black people doing well i think you might be colour blind, louis smith won a bronze medal on the pommel horse, our world champion womens 400m winner chrisitine ohuruogu is in the finals of the 400m , and didnt kelly holmes win 2 gold medals in athens, and didnt the mens 4x100 relay team win gold in athens as well and they havent even had the heats of that this year, why not wait until the end of the games before making comments that simply arent true
@The real zingo star: glad to see you back!!
@ the UK: very nice results in Beijing! Well deserved ones!!!
PS
Brits are doing very well at posh sports with no black or fit people in them. Not so good at the other ones.
Well, Russell Brand, obviously. Assisted by Amy Whitehouse if they can both get their wigs in the room.
Yes 12 golds - in drinking the Yellow Sea while sailing, throwing a strop, tiddlywinks and tricycle riding. Oh and breathing in smog, eating Peking Duck and putting up with foreign food. But they are doing very well. Personally I like Dan Keatings the gymnast best. He can pommel my vault any time.
Not really sure, I think about 10.... closest we came was 4th in rowing....
You have no athletes left??? How many athletes went to China??
Sweetheart we have no atletes left..... no I chear for Greece now
Mina, about the Swedish athlete throwing away his bronze nedal,... my poor country Belgium would be happy with it. We have none for the moment
I'm sure you'll get a medal soon..we had none and we got 3 in one day
To all my British friends over here, congratulations on the 3rd place in the ranking in Olympics. Thank God they don't use televoting over there.... Mina, about the Swedish athlete throwing away his bronze nedal,... my poor country Belgium would be happy with it. We have none for the moment... shame on Belgium. If you look that a country like slovenia with just over 2 mio people has more than us.... shame Belgium. Also well done to Greece, 3 medals so far. Btw the two Greek rowers were quite cute. Love thoses outfits btw.... nice and revealing
I agree!!
Please God, anyone but Dermot O'Dreary, the world's most boring TV presenter. How come one Irishman (Terry) is hilarious & yet another one (O'Dreary) is brain-numbingly dull?
Does it really have to be a comedian? -_-;
