Britain would have won but rejected my coaching advice. This was two-fold. First swamp the show with events reliant on miserable drizzle, or second steal all the gold while everyone else is competing to break their necks on ice or snow. Our total budget was only enough to buy a scrap pram frame. Finding this ruled-out for the 4-man bobsleigh on health and safety grounds trumped up by German judges, some plucky British lass ran it down the mountain for kicks and won gold in the skeleton-creating luge or somesuch.

That's what I mean. You cannot compete with "not bad"ers, they're always referring to another time and another goold, which is very much against the Olympic idea/spirit. Thanks for making my point.
I am not a big sports fan.. but this was surprising.. as in my youth i liked speed skates.. but was never that good.. For the small country performance I think Europe can hold it head high.. Norway withdrew from the speed skating because they felt they could not win..The one that really amazed me was the chinese lady that took gold in one of the events.. she skated like her tail was on fire. (maybe an afterburner) she was both extremely good and fast.. and I mean fast..--On Mon, Feb 24, 2014 at 10:22 PM, gabbydott <gabb...@gmail.com> wrote:
My baby has turned 16 today. I am very glad he hasn't developed along the "not bad" line. Actually, when he was younger and used that expression I made him solve a math equation to raise his awareness for the two sides of the equation. Not bad style is bad style on this scale. As for sports and nationalism and easy counting, yes I do see the positive entertainment aspect for the masses. Well done, Netherlands!--2014-02-23 18:32 GMT+01:00 Allan H <allan...@gmail.com>:--Just watched the end of the games and am very surprised the Netherlands came in in 5th place. with a total of 24 medals 8 gold 7 silver and 9 bronzewho would have expected that..
