The race is on to (finally) wear our summer clothes. It's the Wise and Avid Olympics - off we go!

[Russianred]

Athletic leap on To new thread.

Oh, hang on...now you're talking, Mr Fiji and the Bee Gee's.

X post...knew we'd do that!

The French team have matching bags high five bonsoir

fritzi your team look like they are moonlighting as ice cream sellers!

Comilla and Charles are loving it. Have developed a fondness for them.

Average age of team Guam - 62.

I love Ms Guam's one shouldered dress and flower in her hair

Mr Honduras did not let me down with his earrings.

mim and red you are hilarious!
Loving the opening ceremony and think Danny Boyle is a genius. I am ridiculously patriotic and feel proud! Highlights: Daniel Craig, musical medley and Beckham on the boat. Need parade to finish now so I can see who lights the cauldron (I say Daley or Steve Redgrave) so I can go to sleep.

In brief style news I have had a gold glitter pedi (I love; DH says a 'bit teenage' but I don't care!) and I have decided I hate my TS tan sandals and need to buy a cheap gold pair ASAP for the outfits where I can't wear leopard Gigis. Any suggestions welcome.

Go team GB!

What are all the older competitors competing in and could I take it up..?

Hope you're having a great night amber!
Shame about leathers hopefully and good luck with working wardrobe.
Glad you've had some time off in the sun gos.

I love Usain.

Agree Blue - Danny Boyle did a fantastic job. Didn't shy away from being a bit political too. Amazing.

Mr Kazakhstan's hat is now on my wishlist on Pintrest.

Emo - not sure, is a chess in it?

Shooting would be one to take up I reckon Emo.

I am liking the Liberian ponchos. On the other hand having caught a glance of team gbs white and gold glitter shell suits....

Oh yes MEXICO, sponsored by House of Colour?

[Grin] at Emo.

Loving the Mongolian nod to the Safari trend.

Was that Ashley Cole for Mozambique?

Ashley Cole is carrying the flag for Mozambique!

Ladies, I'm in trouble, DD has woken, and DH has gone mental that I'm not there. Never mind all the times that it has been me on my own...

And what is he expecting you to do Amber?

Amber please please don't go home to bail him out. He will be done, DD will be fine, everyone will survive if you stay out and have fun for a bit longer.

Meant to say he will be fine

He'll have to deal with it - don't rush home!

Why doesn't the Queen step down? Even when team GB came out, she was picking her nails. She never looks happy.

Team gb are off on a hen do!

Amber i think regardless of whether you feel you should go home or mot, he is being unfair to go ballistic at you

Actually going to fall asleep on the sofa soon. I am so crap at late nights! Crack on with the flame bit, London,
