Just want to say thank you and well done Amy for winning the gold medal at the Winter Olympics in the women's skeleton.

Wonderful.

The Brits do always seem to do well in events where they can sit or lie down. Perhaps if they Introduced a nice cup and tea and some hobnobs onto that tea-tray they'd be assured of the gold in perpetuity.

Aye, and if it were some thick, overpaid footballer caught shaggin' his mate's missus, or arguing with the ref instead of watching what the opposition are doing with the ball, we'd never hear the end of it, either in the rags or on the telly.

Funny priorities, some people have.

And well done Amy, fantastic and brave performance. Someone us Brits can feel proud of.

Yep, it's a fine thing for the Brits.

By winning a gold (rather than silver), England has catapulted right past Kazakhstan.

A fantastic achievement especially when you consider we don't even have a course in this country. Well done, Amy!

Congrats Amy, we might not have a course but when it snows going downhill on a tae tray becomes the national sport.
