I hope this is a misunderstanding as the player says. Otherwise, it is unacceptable.

'The troublesome advertisement is another embarrassment for Spain, which hopes to host either the 2116 or 2020 Summer Games.'
Planning well in advance there! haha |

I cheered when I saw your team enter the stadium. Bob Costas said, "And as the Kiwi's enter the birdnest we go to commercial." |

I am not really excited about olympics. Turkey only win in branches such as wrestling, weightlifting. Lol
After a long and tiring day last night we were watching the summary of the day. With Michele (yes he is here! :-D) and an American friend. Funnily they (Italy and USA) all had medals to be happy for at the end of the day and I was as usual empty handed. I am sticking to be a loyal Snooker audience, I suppose. Olympics suck! :-P |

Last time I checked there weren't very many Turkish snooker players - if any! That may be a lost cause too ya know ;) |

I don't really follow the olympics, but looking at the medal table. Is it just me or is it "America vs. China!" with some guest appearances by other countries.
Also, does it strike anyone as shocking that the two countries with the largest pool of human resources are doing best (maybe other than the Russians, who have been in sharp decline since they decided not to be the CCCP anymore) |

I find it very frustrating to be able to watch the games either at work (in the "dining room") or in a café.
I should have invested in a telly. |

I knew someone would gonna say that smart panties. :-P My consolation is this is basically a British thing with very few players from elsewhere. Not like much of an international occasion. So there. *nods* |
