Well, all I was going to say was that it's about time you lot started pulling your weight. Let's see now, hmm:
Great Britain (and I won't ask why three nations feel compelled to compete together as one mega-nation, especially when the West Indian nations see no such need at the Olympics): population 58 million, 44 Olympic medals.
Australia: population 21 million, 42 Olympic medals.
By my rough calculation, when you have in the order of 115-120 medals, you can begin to think about gloating. And then of course there even tinier nations pulling way above their weight, e.g. Jamaica, New Zealand et al.
Having said that, it was a pretty impressive effort by GB in the track cycling.
Can't wait until 2012. We're already speculating about what would make a good opening ceremony for London. We're thinking a 30 minute demonstration of fox-hunting, ending with the hunted fox being caught, set alight and the dying creature then being herded into the cauldron to light the Olympic flame, whereupon convicts then serve out BBQ'd fox meat to the assembled gentry.
I'm taking this well, aren't I?
