And to remind you that there's more than one way of looking at things, try #GBJOfacts on Twitter (Grande Bretagne Jeux Olympiques). One consequence of the re-start of the men's double sculls - when the British pair held up a broken seat, within the first 100m, which, under the rules, allows a complete re-run - was that, as we sobbed with the Brits winning silver, the French howled at coming fourth.
The cascade of tweets is wide-ranging in its targets.
"Usain Bolt applies for British nationality to be allowed to make false starts".
"During the marathon, if an Englishman gets tired, he is entitled to a taxi".
"Federer will have to play Murray with a ping-pong bat".
"Team GB have been given the right to replay the football match against Korea on Playstation"
"Flipper the Dolphin has been authorised to swim for GB".
"The Queen has just knighted 738 Olympic judges".
"By Royal decree, it is mandatory to carry a screwdriver for everyone in the country"
