Morning JJ. Are you going to cheer her on? She's gorgeous as well as talanted.

[joggerjayne]

Hi, wbm x

I'm not going to Vancouver, but I'll obviously cheer on the whole of Team GB.

[waterboatman]

Likewise JJ. Well, obviously if Ireland are sending a team I will be cheering them on. But I will be watching.

Have you seen this then, wbm ...
