Winter Olympics 2014

Don't give Putin ideas.

It strikes me as surprising that someone as homophobic as him would spend a fortune to host the Winter Olympics which is, let's face it, really gay. "We have no homosexuals in Russia. Now get out of my way I'm trying to watch the man in the sequins continue his pretty ice dance".

They want the hockey gold.  There will be enormous pressure on the team to deliver.

Bit of a cock-up with the Rings. Glad that wasn't us.

All I want is a room with a view
A sight worth seeing, a vision of you
All I want is a room with view, oh-oh
I will give you my finest hour
The one I spent watching you shower

Bugger, I meant to get up early to watch the Downhill live.

Has anyone else watched Graham Bell's guide to the course ?

Already on the Medal Table with not an Australian in sight 😊

Is there any event we're favourites for a medal? Don't care about the facts and figures just something I can watch rather than tuning in to some other god awful event hoping to see if a Brit is in it and doing well. usually aren't even if they are in the event.

I read something about a young kid on the BBC Sport site who had gone to live in Norway, and he was doing really well in that stupid ski walking one and how the Norwegians had become wary of him and he was one of the good outside shouts for a medal. So I flicked it on for a few seconds trying to catch a Brit doing something well. Frigging 62nd he finished. Tit.

We're expected to get medals in the women's skeleton (possibly two) and both the men's and women's curling I think.

Could have a chance in the four-man bobsleigh, the men's freestyle skiing slopestyle event and the women's short-track speed skating.

Info including relevant TV times, HERE.

I realise when he does these he doesn't have to get up to race speed, but he does bloody well to film those with the camera and not go arse over tit.
