I'd heard they get coached on how to say the names Jen and that the BBC has a special department that helps with correct pronunciation - it helps news readers with names of places and people and so on most of the time! The cars are causing a huge advertising dingdong as the games are supposed to be ad free but the cars are instantly recognised as Minis

Interesting news item re the capita table per country re population on how successful the country is on the medals count
I cant remember now but think Grenada are No 1 - we are think No 9 and China and the USA about 30th

No - it's tomorrow ;D ;D I don't like boxing, but she was lovely in her interview afterwards, so naturally exhuberant I love the BMX and hope we get both of them through to the final - we only got a rider as we are the host country, as neither of them have ridden much this season because of problems.
