McVillage

I just got back from lunch in the Olympic village and I broke down and got Chicken McNuggets and fries. It was awesome. Regardless of where you are, McDonald's is pretty much the same. That's comforting when you know what the sweet and sour sauce is going to taste like even if the packaging is slightly different. A little reminder of one of the most influential establishments to come out of our super-size-me capitalism, our love of quick food and more being better. The more amazing thing is how many of the athletes were also eating at McDonalds. Golden arches.

Last night We watched Jessica Ennis receive her gold medal in the heptathlon. She was understandably emotional, how could you not be with an entire stadium and country singing your national anthem along with you as you watch your flag being raised in front of your home town crowd. The best moment in sport.

Thumbs up! Well done Jess.
