Saint in Paradise Posted 14 August, 2012 Share Posted 14 August, 2012 (edited) Academic, in my condition. Academic for that lot who would "ruin" her as well, I understand that she much prefers other ladies for her bedroom antics. Of course I could be misinformed. Whitey don't worry in a few more weeks you will have your normal feelings and ability back as they were.

Saint in Paradise Posted 14 August, 2012 Share Posted 14 August, 2012 Still think that? Yes, sorry I don't mean to upset lots of you but I just don't enjoy having it all rammed down my throat and only having the Olympics shown. I prefer to pick and choose which sports I watch.

CB Fry Posted 14 August, 2012 Share Posted 14 August, 2012 Here is the video they missed out last night My mate I sat in the deck chair with the wig on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aYtpL5YhWOQ&feature=youtube_gdata_player I'm not sure they missed it out mate - it was just some advertising/PR for Adidas. I doubt it was ever planned for the closing ceremony, especially as the production quality was so low, and the vid got released during that day before the ceremony started. Just a bit of advertising fluff. Nice though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus there was always ITV and lots of other channels including BBC 1 or 2 which wasn't showing the olympics most of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry old chap but I think that you will find that we here in NZ do not have access to UK TV companies unless we download something called expat shield or similar. Don't trust them 100% as I got "extra e-mails" after I did that in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As in fact did The Who - twice... I don't think too much should be read into that, Bowie hasn't played live for years, I'm pretty sure he's even announced his retirement, Kate Bush is rarely seen outside of her house, I can't imagine for one moment she'd want to appear in front of millions.

Not a bad feat. Maybe we will get some contributions from Portsmouth in the future because the kids will no longer be distracted by that footballing power house called Pompey. There were a few swimmers from Pompey but none of them got anywhere. Surprising really as you'd think they'd be amazing, what with their training sessions consisting solely of them trying to swim away from the place as quickly as possible.

As far as I can tell he spent some of his childhood in Hants and won his gold medals whilst a resident of Hants. Fail to see why he is viewed as Cornish, even if he spent some time there and learned to sail there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is always on spotlight here in the west country and goes was going on and on about how he wanted to win gold for Cornwall.

Tractor_Saint Posted 16 August, 2012 Share Posted 16 August, 2012 Stratford station is going to be fun. Magnificent views of the stadium throughout. Good job. How was Stratford Station? All the folks were telling us to go to West Ham and it 'was only a 10 minute walk'. Yeah right! However, they were right there were no queues there and we got the first tube out to Wimbledon where the car had been dumped. Took a few vids if anyone is interested (probably not but I'll post anyhow!) Spice Girls! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can only pass on what I watched on the local news before and after the Olympics He was born in Macclesfield, went to junior school in lymington and senior school in Truro and then college in Winchester but supports Chelsea Guess he has a huge soft sport for cornwall Edited 16 August, 2012 by Thedelldays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken Tone Posted 17 August, 2012 Share Posted 17 August, 2012 Ainslee is Cornish I'm sure ????? Moved to Lymington at the age of 16 and lived there ever since. Joined his friend, and then rival, Iain Percy at Peter Symonds College for the sixth form. Btw Foad also attended that college, so as someone pointed out in the local Winchester paper, if Peter Symonds had been a country it would have been 45th in the medal tabel --above India! .... and Ainslie himself has now asked the PO to paint a Lyminghton post box gold.
