GB badly needs all the feel good factor and can do attitude to surpass real life hurdles, without the benefit of live tv cameras, spectators and ceremonies.

We don't just have the Games to feel like this, we have the countryside, the beauty of the landscape, the good grace of having a temperate climate that gives us few trouble on the whole and a warm, kind, giving population that just keeps giving.

But you are right, the Games have given us a real lift, today sadly we didn't do too well with medals but its OK, we didn't get down, we just looked down the table, way down, a little further down, just a bit more....... there, thats it, there is Australia. I'm feeling better already. Amazing!

I live miles away from the nearest "city", when the sun goes down all I hear is badgers shagging, cows calling and foxes killing chickens.... I drove to work the day before yesterday and didn't see another car all the way there, the job was 18 miles away.

The people who complain the most about British weather are generally people who never have to work outside, doing my job, or any other outdoor manual work in 40-50 degree heat is hell on earth, we take no pleasure in it so whats not to like?

yes i live in Sydney, the most populated city in Oz.
