Swagger Inn Thread 136 - Series 3 Finishes - wenches wail piteously, don black crepe and mourn the lack of Musketeers on screen

[SisterHelenoftheEternalCatchUp]

... then we just carry on jabbering and perving, and rewatching, and, well business as usual. Apparently there are plenty of thighs on display at the Olympics.

I have found the most amazing tea shop here. .

'I'm getting fuck all done here' -Fancy you and me both. However, the rowing heats were bloody brill.

Yes to Ektorp! 2 three seaters in Nordvalla Grey which is just a dark grey.

Not starting new job til start of Sept so will let you know when I start.... (Mr C has invited neighbours for BBQ on Friday 😱 Now feeling BBQ pressure to do wondrous things to impress World BBQ champions. Might just toss a few welsh cakes on eh)

Nos da wenchi

Sparks is this sportsman what's kept you busy? sounds just what you needed.

As a devotee of bicep perving, I recommend rowing as well as swimming.

You're excused then sparks

Italian swimmers you say? Coming (nlt) right up...

I'm alternating between eventing & rowing atm comtess, but have to go out soon

Brave of MrC to put on a BBQ in the country that is the home of BBQ's . Def put your hot plate on there & serve up fresh welsh cakes

Comtesse
Excellent! We got the nordvalle beige wishes we got grey
Can't help re bbq as don't eat it but (allegedly) you just throw shrimp on it and serve fosters and all will be well

Eventing here (watching, not doing obvs - jumping is great fun but I'm out of practice and not suicidal brave enough to do jumps that big )

DS has been at HolidaySportingActivity and is now making up for his hours of activity by playing on Minecraft

We are officially allowed to objectify the USA mens gymnasts

DH has swapped to women's Judo except we're competing...

helen

Aw diddums, poor US male gymnasts. Playing second fiddle to women . I can't even objectify them as they are so ridiculously overhyped & perpetually whooping at each other. Bit like that US swimmer last night - ok, so he got a bronze and a USA record but all you could hear was him whooping at himself. Whereas Peaty won gold & fucking smashed the world record AGAIN & was so much cooler #totallyBritishReaction

Might make a exception for this one - not so much for looks, but because he clearly has a brain & some awareness of issues for women in sport - see his quote on the subject - But being ridiculously fit hasn’t won them much attention. Danell Levya, the individual all-around bronze medalist in London, says there is one reliable way they can be as popular as the U.S. women: winning. America’s female gymnasts “should be popular—and even more popular,” he said. “It’s one of the few events in this country where women do get the amount of credit they deserve

Whereas Mikulak reminds me a bit of Robbie Williams. And that is not good

I'm watching the men's swimming
It's all your fault fancy

at the Ektorp sofas. Mine is so old you can't buy that one anymore

Bet you're not cross with me though are you badders?

Tom Daley is competing tonight - think it's 8pm. And the GB women's rugby 7s are tonight at 7pm. Ok, so no hot men in that, but they have been fab & are in the semi-finals.

No no, I think you'll find it's that these sheep are FAR AWAY.

Tom Daley tonight?

Completely nonplussed by the Olympics. The men are a bit too sleek and hairless for ny tastes. Yes, yes they can run really fast and that's all grand but they're so hairless .

Love the geek mother meme.

My lovely horse

I agree Mouse they're so ..... sterile.

I always think they'd be quite...um... Slippy

Bads

That's probably why the Italian & French swimmers catch my eye, you know they could grow a beard & some chest hair

Ooh, diving is as tight as Tom Daley's shorts for the bronze Come on Tom & Dan

Yay!!!!! They got bronze Aw they are so happy & hugging everyone . So pleased as Tom Daley seems lovely

Am trying to work and watch, and it's not very satisfactory on either front.
Will console myself with

YAY! Good routine from GB!

Evening all

How's the caravanning madame? This place is full of Londoners, a group pitched up next to us earlier and a Waitrose van delivered their shopping before they'd even put their bunting folding chairs out

Missing all the olympics, I'm relying on you guys to fill me in on the exciting bits

I'm now catching up with the men's gymnastics. 10.30 for the bronze medal match in the women's rugby 7s - GB v Canada. There just aren't enough hours in the day

FFS - trying to watch the Olympics is as bad as trying to watch Musketeers! Why can't they just stick the whole lot on BBC2 and leave it there.Why bloody bother swapping between BBC1 & BBC2 every haf hour. 'king BBC schedulers.

Thanks for the heads up helen I was taping it on BBC1 & it's switched over to BBC2 for the news . Good job I'm watching it on catch up on my laptop. 4 years ago I was watching this competition in the o2 Arena - I had such a great time, the atmosphere was incredible
