"There is a truth to sport, a purity, a drama, an intensity. A spirit that makes it irresistable to take part in, and irresistable to watch. In every Olympic sport there is all that matters in life.

And one day we will tell our children, and our grandchildren, than when our time came we did it right."
- Seb Coe, opening the 2012 games

Mitt Romney

Reaction to the Romney story is genuinely hilarious. "Oi, Yankee - NO! We get to be pessimistic about our sports day. YOU don't. You may in fact be almost uniquely qualified to comment on organising an Olympics, and your criticism may have been about as fiery as one of our 'summer' afternoons, but NOBODY gets to come round our house and give us lessons on how to be cynical. You waltz over here like it's three years after a world war started and start trying to out-miserable the British? Off you pop sunshine, we've been miserable and proud of it since before you were a country."
