Please pardon the gloating, at least for a minute !
Being English I have become used to us getting our collective a*** spanked in various sporting arenas over very many years. The odd highlight apart (e.g. Rugby World Cup in Oz), it has been a never ending story of shame and humiliation, punctuated by occasional moments of high drama and farce. This years Euro footie non-qualification and Eddie the Eagle prove the point. We like Eddie in England as he stands for all we love best !
So, how great it is to see the GB team taking nine, yes nine golds in the World Championships !!

Before I get flamed by Alan W, I should of course point out that Chris Hoy, the only man in cycling history to be world champion in all four events open to him, is a Scot. I wish we could be team GB more often !
