I see El Presidente cannot stay out the limelight

Ridiculous idea

na good idear you misarble cnut,

Yup that's right, let's have Gold, Silver, Bronze and wooden post-boxes. Wooden to replicate the wooden spoon for anyone who didn't make the medals?

Come on Mike I know you're an ass-licker but this is too far. Firstly the Gold Post-boxes were a good idea, but not silver and bronze ffs, and why should the Lithuainian swimmer also get one painted?

Sorry but this is diluting the original good gesture and making it farcical.

This is a grand idea to celebrate one man's efforts, and assist with bringing him to the attention of the citizens of Plymouth.....













Trouble is, it ain't Tom Daley.

Tom Daley has done brilliantly, and done his city and country proud. Brilliant stuff from the lad.

BUT.....the original idea was a great one, with the GOLD postboxes. Changing it will dilute the gesture. Besides Tom will be a serious contender for gold next time, what are we going to do then?

Current olympic bronze medalist, but possible future olympic champion. His best days are still ahead of him.

It's really quite sinister the way he throws his face around the local media. I liked the phrase 'secured the funding' though...exactly how much was needed to buy a tin of paint? I wonder if Nikkk helped out.

The man, I use that term in the loosest sence, has no feckin idea has he? How long does he want to spend painting them, long enough for more media coverage by the looks, good god you need a bigger one than that, I'm talking paint brushes here. So, he does clean the toilets with a toothbrush then!!

Shame it wasn't about his resignation, I would have applauded his integrity then!!

1/10 for el Prseidente'

I think we should build a statue of Chris Webb on the centre circle at HP. It would ruin the pitch but he would have achieved his goal and at least then we wouldn't have to put up with anymore of his half witted self promotion.

To be honest I see no harm in it- it's a bit of a non-story really. Maybe it's an attempt to lure Tom Daley to home park to do the half time lottery/ attend a fansfest?

Why not just FV don a pair of skimpy Speedos make up a song (stuff your knobs in for the lads?) and do simulated dives in the penalty area.

Wonder if Ruta is getting any offers in from bigger swimming schools in this country or abroad. You would think that might be the case. Would be a bit embarrassing if they did a post box only to see her enrolling at California High in September.

So he flounces from the internet AGAIN but we now have to see his ego boosting media presence increase!

Why not just paint the pres gold then every one will know what a splendid fellow he is viva aviva

comments on herald site are of note

Think this would be a good compromise. I think the President should get behind Tom Daleys Lunchbox.

(Shouldn't be long before I get a call to start designing stuff for Argyle.)

his next trick will be argyle in red white and blue

another argyle first in football

Just read the link - totally crass idea.
