Re: Congratulations to British guppies
Fiker not te ziker not is an old phrase which everyone uses…
If you have heard it from only one person, does not mean that you can only hear from that one particular person.. in fact, I can give you links where I have used the phrase many times over the years
The point is: Britishers somehow planned to get all these medals 100 years ago and finally acheived the target 
OMG. I am so funny

Britain equal century-old gold record
Wednesday, August 20, 2008
BEIJING: Britain notched their highest gold medal tally in a century on Tuesday with three more victories in cycling and sailing for the 2012 Olympics hosts.
That cemented Britain’s unexpected third place in China, with 15 golds the best since the 1908 London Games and the perfect way to fire up enthusiasm at home for the next Olympics.
Hosts China are way ahead on 42 golds though, their seemingly unassailable lead helping dull some of the national pain over the withdrawal through injury of track idol Liu Xiang.
The United States are second with 25 golds on Day 11 and face a near-impossible task to catch China, whose medal haul reflects their new global economic and political might.
While China’s rise may be inevitable, given it has one fifth of the world’s population to choose from, Britain’s success was more surprising. Even traditional rivals were impressed.
“They’re certainly serving it up,” Australia’s Olympic Committee president John Coates said. “Their new-found cockiness has got some substance to it.”
Nowhere have the Britons been cockier than on bikes.
Britain’s success, which has come chiefly in cycling, rowing, sailing and swimming, is attributed mainly to heavy new investment in sport. That has allowed athletes and coaches to train full time, as well as seen improvements in facilities. Much of the money has come from a national lottery.

The Great Britain Olympic team returns home from Beijing on Monday after their most successful Games for over 100 years.
The aeroplane carrying the team has had its tip painted gold to celebrate a remarkable performance that saw Team GB claim fourth place in the medals table, putting rival countries such as Australia, Germany and France in the shade.
Britain claimed 19 golds, 13 silvers and 15 bronzes, compared with just nine golds four years ago in Athens and only one in Atlanta in 1996.
The performance has drawn widespread praise, with Prime Minister Gordon Brown saying the honours system will reward the country’s top Olympians.
Cyclist Chris Hoy (pictured), who won three gold medals, and swimmer Rebecca Adlington, who won two, are most hotly tipped for official recognition.
The cycling team supplied eight gold medals, including seven out of a possible 10 on the track, while sailors took four golds and rowers two.
Christine Ohuruogu secured Britain’s only athletics gold in the women’s 400m, with track and field identified as one of the few disappointments of Beijing, along with judo and archery.
London mayor Boris Johnson declared himself “lost in admiration” for Britain’s achievements as the capital officially took over as the host city for 2012.

Re: Congratulations to British guppies
I think they can now capitalize on this fever to take full advantage of being host of the next olympics in 2012. One can fairly predict they will double their number of medals then.
