Garfield Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Ha, quality! Got to watch the opening ceremony in 3D because my dad recently splashed out and bought a fancy telly and surround sound. I was floored... a beautifully stunning work of creative vision and choreography. And a nice touch with the lighting of the flame, too.

Garfield Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Some papers in Australia and the USA couldn't help but work in some racial stereotyping about the Irish (i.e. drinking gallons of Guinness and whiskey, etc.) after Katie's last victory. Wonder what we can expect if she gets through to the final!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broithe Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Fantastic stuff... she's done the nation proud! Indeed. Although, whatever happened, I definitely wouldn't be the one to tell her if I thought differently... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRich Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 What makes the win even greater is the fact that the Russian girl is a brilliant fighter also. When most people are sleeping in the early hours of the morning Katie is out running and doing road work. She also trains in the ring sparring and does gym work. When I look back at Euro 88 and Italia 90 this eclipses it for me as Katie won gold and deserves all the praise and out pourings of jubilation that she gets. Lets not forget her dad Pete and the other members of the team that have done equally great work and put in enormous effort. I look forward to seeing the rest of the boxing team winning medals also as they also are deserving of them. Rich, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glenderg Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 very clever! Maybe we could turn this recent business of abusing our national flag into a cottage industry? Get the lolz from Merkel etc.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
