Germany just beat (or an hour ago or so they did) Sweden 4-3 in the Ice Hockey, which is a big upset and they are through to the semi finals.

Exaggeration or simply ignorance?
The BBC commentator on the cross-country skiing.
“The Norwegians will be sitting at home in their tens of millions watching this”.
The population of Norway is 5.3 million.

The fourth word of that post should answer the question. The fifth, sixth and seventh ones will tell you why.

But give him the benefit of the doubt. Maybe Norwegians are really, really, really mad keen on camping and he said 'tents' instead of 'tens'?

Hang on a minute... Basualdo... Basualdo... That name rings a bell...



Ah!

Aren’t you the Basualdo who thought the population of the Netherlands was about the same size as the population of Scotland?

Yes, I’m pretty sure you are!

But fortunately I was there to correct you, so you will never humiliate yourself again with such a display of - for want of a better word - ignorance.

Then again, the indolent Scotch have little better to do than collect their subsidies and fornicate, so they might have caught up by now.

A fantastic shot from the Swiss skip in the 9th turned a one shot deficit into a four shot lead going into the final innings and knocked the British fellows out the tournament.

An excellent sport, this Curling.

The whole thing has been magnificent.

Even the likes of Biathlon, Cross-Country Skiing are great fun to watch.

The one where four ski down a bumpy hill is great to watch.

I think this is the key, Kev.

Every event just looks like so much fun to both participate in and to watch......something I think the Summer Olympics stopped doing years and years ago.
