Cool..............no doubt the chinese guy has been promised immediate citizenship, er before the race, hehehehehehehe sucker. Hope he likes detention camps;)
No doubt the Canadians will keep bawling and complaining until they get a token Gold in that event as well :D
PS jello.. have u seen the Weather Reports on the Ice Dream?? LOL omg... u will know what i mean if you've seen it.. if not.. I will try to explain it without insulting too many americans :D
Haven't been watching, figured we weren't gonna win anything therefore no importance in it. Gee the Canadians actually do believe its all fair in the Olympics, does the word naive hold no meaning for them.
So whats next, the Aussie hockey team wins cause all the other teams come down with the crabs or something:confused:
Ice Dream is Roy and HG and so is nothing about sport just piss taking on the whole thing... eg commentating the 2 man luge and saying that they communicate by flexing and relaxing their butt muscles.
Anyhow, the weather reports... they have a cam set up out in the snow, get an average american vistor, give them a pointer and have a board with the map of Australia on it. They put Tasmania in a different spot each night and rearrange all of the cities :D None of them ever cotton on to it... and the yanks even try to add knowledgeable comments.. :D lol
Ah, the Ice dream. :p
I still want to find out how many people (around the world) really care that much about the winter olympics.
Seems to be alot more... erm.... arty 'sports' and some of them ones where you don't really do much, like the long-jump on skis.
:p
Oh god yeah... the only semi decent sport to watch at the WO's is the speed skating... and since we won that surely Australia is the best Winter Olympic team.... ever... :eek:
Luge .. yawnnnnnn
Ice Skating... YYYYYAAAWWWWWNNNNNNN
Curling... hmmm is that even a sport????
Moguls (mogles? / mogggols? ) .. oooh that one's gotta hurt..
All these snow sports just seem to be the sort of thing only someone with alot of money can even get into, let alone excel at.
Much like the equestrian, in regular olympics...
I noticed snowboarding made it in - expect to see Tony Hawk (skateboarding) in Greece. :p
Cool..when is Roy and HG on...
Can just imagine it.
Roy: Why are you wearing a floral shirt in sub zero conditions
Seppo: Well we knida thought Salt Lake City was in Florida
HG: So have you ever seen a map of Tasmania
Seppo: Hell yes, last year we visited Australia, nice country and so close to Germany.
OMFG...the biggest moth in the whole world has just flown in the window, like two inches long.....hey beaker would have moth envy.;) Just get Kim to remove it...may be deadly or something, and has more than two legs:eek:
It's on every night after the wanky winter olympic sport bit ... lol I saw the speed skating gold on the news and it is too funny... couldnt have written a better script myself :p
Betya Bradbury doesnt come straight back to Australia.. cos lol he is gonna get the piss taken out of him... lol can imagine the comedy skits and jokes already....
PS Peet's mob seem to be doing alright... guess there isnt much else to do over there besides skiing and rooting... :eek:
someone really is blocking all aussie links for me :confused: :p
We haver complete control of your pc, the vertical the horizontal...hey what are all those kyleminoguepositions.jpeg files on your hard disk....will just open one....OMG the RSCPA will wont to know about the german shepard:eek:
All there ever seems to be on in the winter olympics is ice skating. Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooring!!
Me not watching halves the viewing figures I reckon.
Ok first of all i believe that Canada should have won that firugre skating thing. If it had even been close then i would have accepted losing gracefully but, to even my untrained eye Canada obviously won. Canada skated a flawless preformence whilst the Russians made a few obvious mistakes. Then after an investigation it is discovered that it was rigged (suprise suprise is figure skateing for god sakes). Personally i think that figure skating should be taken out of the olympics till a better way of judging is introduced.
How did I guess you were going to mention that...
WHAT A PILE-UP! He looked so confused after he won though hehehe :D
If there is one sport that i want Canada to win a gold in it is hockey. We have had the best team in the world for quite a while yet we never seem to be able to pull through. Plus we invented the game so we should win in it :D just kidding although the US dream team seems to kick alot of ass in the summer olympics.
Good morning parksie...leave you in charge of dragging every thread into the gutter and look what happens;)
Now have the perfect excuse for being the last one into work, er would have rushed, but wanted to avoid any accidents in the lift. Don't thank me, l'm just that sort of guy, always putting it on the line for the good of the company.
Then of course l'll break into the company song
"We work all day
For very little pay
So the Directors can play
And sit on their fat arses all day"
May have added a new verse there l think.
Bah!Quote:

Stop your whining! It got overthrown.
:p
Forget training for the next games... we need to work out methods of sabotaging other competitors in every winter olympic sport... hmmm loose fitting skis, wobbly curling stones, brake less luges .. come on guys.. we can win them all if we put our heads together!!
hmmm then Canada would just have to employ some counter sabatoge crap. hmmmm oh i got it, Canada could give out free drinks to all the athletes of the other countries as a sign of "friendship" anyways the drinks are all spiked with steroids! haha i can just see the headlines "98% of the athletes are on sterioids!" or "Canada: the only honest country" or "Canada wins every medal by default". hehe
wouldn't make the front page; nobody gives a rats arse about the winters.Quote:

it really doesn't matter what olympics as long as steroids are illegal :p
Didn't we lose a competitor in the slalom or moguls or something 'cause his skis wew 0.5mm too thick? :rolleyes:Quote:

Actually they were 50mm too thick and had a jet engine attached at the back..

Sydney Morning Herald headline...
"The Fall Guy"...lol reckon you're right BB, Bradbury is in for being the butt end of jokes for a while:D
LOL But did u see the Ice Dream last night.. lol omg Mr Bradbury got into the final cos 3 people fell over in the semi as well!!! And he still came second!! lol.. so that is 7 people out of 8 falling over in two events and he wins!! :D
well Wootherspoon was an embarresment for Canada. He fell flat on his face right out of the gate! :p
Oh don't get us wrong.. Bradbury won't be an embarrassment... he will become a national icon.. that is exactly how we like our winners to be... the Canadian didnt look very happy on the dais tho...
OMG Newsflash just in!!!!
Future Australian Winter Olympians are to be drug tested for ... Valium!! :eek:
well, actually i am really not embarressed about any olympian ( I take what i said earlier back) however i am dissapointed, Wootherspoon was a favorite to win the gold in that event and having trained for a very long time all to trip over the starting line is dissapointing.
Yeah we had the same thing with that Olympic sprint cyclist... emm forget his name now.. was far and away favourite to win gold in a canter and yet kicked out of the pedals at the starting line... but he took it graciously .. only months later did he kill 5 members of the coach's famly :eek: :p
hehe Actually there was one embarresment (yes EMBARRESMENT) for Canada. That was Ben Johnson.
Can just imagine the new Canadian school sport sloganQuote:

"Just say yes to drugs"
:D

Also happened to the ex-seppo female bike rider. At starting block she pushes off and her foot comes off the pedal. Being a good sort, she immediatly blamed Cycling Australia for giving her shonky equipment, sacked her coach, and stormed out of the games village. Wonder if Ruddock has her address.
Doing a Bradbury...will no doubt come into vogue...as in damn l forgot to cancel my automatic lottery picks, and look at that l won a million...You lucky lucky bastard, bit of a Bradbury there mate;)
Oh yeah... she was a glamour.. no more harrassing Chinese female athletes :DQuote:

ouch sacked her coach, with her ahving all those big cycling arms and legs
They had the bloke on radio today saying that part of his gameplan was to hang back, and hope someone stacked it, and he could sneak in for bronze. Apparently, someone stacks it in just about every race. But when they all stacked it and he won, he crossed the line, and a few seconds later thought: "**** me. I won. :p "
:D
Heard on the news tonite that there has been an official protest launched by the Japanese... now this one is gonna take a miracle to succeed.. cos the Japanese werent even in the final :eek:
Never saw a gold medal winner looking so surprised.
"Whassat ? Gold medal ? Me ? Pull the other one mate, it got a bell on it"
And then you saw him thinking "Bugger, what excuse am I going to cook up now ? The stay-safely-in-the-back-strategy ? Mmmmm, sounds great, let's stick with that."
:D
lol yeah :D .. on the news tonite they said that the U.S commentators were complaining vehemently that the race should be rerun and that the referee was australian therefore it was a setup... odd things tho are that this is the same referee that dudded the australian skate team out of a previous medal
and most fittingly... the american competitor is in crutches and would lose his silver if the race was rerun :rolleyes:
Which is exactly why it won't be...:rolleyes:
In any case the Aussies have a new scape goat errrm loser errr hero ...
Well, anyway. Never mind the snide comments, he's got a gold medal and that's all that matters right ?
It won't stop the sneering though ... :)
No it's only gentle ribbing Wally.. he had to be there to get the gold.. and as he said he has been to 4 games and deserved a bit of luck... good on him I say.. he put a lot of work in.
You're saying he engineered it all ?
If so, he did a hell of a job there !
Congrats on your gold medal but I'm sure you'll put in a lot of effort to ridicule him.
Aussies eh :rolleyes: :p :D
lol no i dont mean he put work into planning that race.. i was sort of referring to the years of training.. and oh yeah we'll have heaps of fun with him .. he's already been on the Ice dream.. a piss take show of the olympics and was laughing along with everyone...
I saw it ! It was on BBC's grandstand. Good thing British television is not known for kicking a man when he's down eh :p:D
He's been taking the piss out of himself, in true Aussie style.
He's a bloody legend. :p
And check out the reactions here... see, we love it!! :D
