England!!?? Even if the team are all from England, they aren't called that.


I heard that so many times when I was at the Paralympics in London last time. It is a bit like Americans calling Britain 'England' as a whole. :rolleyes::whistle:
Mea culpa

I was watching the Water Polo there, Brazil versus Japan.

I had read about the Brazillian fans being a bit, well, obnoxious, and they showed themselves up here.

Every time the Japanese had the ball, the majority Brizillian crown just booed and jeered constantly, seriously, I was doing things on the iPad and you could tell who had the ball from the noise of the crowd without even having to look up!

Every time Japan scored they were met with a stoney silence, and, of course, I was going for Japan as a result. The Japanese lost in the end, but seriously, the behaviour of the Brazillians almost would have been funny if it hadn't been so blatantly moronic and pathetic!

Anyway, I wont be supporting them in anything now.

You're right Doug but the GB team are all English apparently
 
I'm not sure which one I was watching - I clearly know feck all! Roger Kluse was our man. Bendy swords which I assumed were epée but possibly not. Most of the time it was too quick or nuanced for me to see who had scored but tghe commentator explained once that although one chap got the hit first he didn't get the point.
Quite fun in a mad way though.

Ah, I watched that too... it was foil. Richard Kruse is his name, but Roger Kluse is close enough! Yeah, I always avoided reffing those fights as I could never tell who attacked first! :laugh:
 
I remember that story well , did not seem that long ago.

Yeah, me too. 1976 - the LONG HOT summer, a mere 40 years ago.

.... We all know gymnastics is there to perv on those super fit young things in either tight leotards or cute shorts as they get into some very 'interesting' positions! :giggle:
