    Winter Olympics

    Ok, anyone taking any innerest?

    Personally I find it more watchable than its summer counterpart (yawn). Love the bobsled, luge and downhill skiing. I even got into the curling a few WOs back when those Scottish women kept winning.

    Anyway, let's hope it doesn't go off with a bang

    But drinking bottles of buckie, then curling one in a train carriage doesn't count, I don't know how they were allowed to win
    Socialism is inseparably interwoven with totalitarianism and the abject worship of the state.

    No Socialist Government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp, or violently-worded expressions of public discontent.

      In my experience, Scottish women aren't really into 'snowboarding' if that helps

        I shall definitely be watching the speed skating, especially Jorrit Bergsma in the 5000 and 10,000 metres, as I sometimes go cycling with him in the summer. (I can't keep up with him all day though; he rides about 120km on a Saturday, meets up with me and a couple of other guys near my house and we blast along with him for about 10 to 20 kms before he blasts off home again 50 kms away and I make my excuses and turn off to take the shortcut). Shall probably watch along with the cycling club in the pub, which will be quite a noisy crowd.

        Quite a few of the Dutch speed skaters live down our way and they're a nice crowd of people. It is a lot more interesting when you have local athletes competing. I doubt they'll be able to hear us from Russia, but we'll be making a hell of an effort.

            How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't think

                  Yes. All three, then all three, then all three.
