Good to see her community spirit is alive and well.  Like her, I guess.

The Front Porch / Olympic Faux Pas
« on: August 30, 2012, 05:22:17 AM »
Commentators' remarks from the recent Olympics - the ones they'd like back.
 
Weightlifting
"This is Gregoriava from Bulgaria. I saw her snatch this morning during her warm up and it was amazing."

Dressage (horse competition for US viewers)
"This is really a lovely horse and I speak from personal experience since I once mounted her mother."

Gymnast competitor:
"I owe a lot to my parents, especially my mother and father."

Boxing:
"Sure there have been injuries, and even some deaths in boxing, but none of them really that serious."

Softball:
"If history repeats itself, I should think we can expect the same thing again."

Basketball:
"He dribbles a lot and the opposition doesn't like it.   In fact you can see it all over their faces."

Rowing medal ceremony:
"Ah, isn't that nice, the wife of the IOC president is hugging the cox of the British crew."

Football:
"Julian Dicks is everywhere. It's like they've got eleven Dicks on the field."

Tennis:
"One of the reasons Andy is playing so well is  that, before the final round, his wife takes out his balls and kisses
them... Oh my God, what have I just said?"

The Front Porch / Re: Mets Tickets - Advice Required

 Here in the NY area, if you give a pint of blood at certain places, they will reward you with a couple of Mets tickets. That's why there is a shortage in the blood supply.  :yes: :yes: :yes: :yes:

We just give the stuff away.   No bribe needed.

The Front Porch / Mets Tickets - Advice Required
« on: August 19, 2012, 04:39:42 PM »
Can any Mets fan advise on this.   We normally get tickets online, but I'm not prepared to pay the extra charges.   I take it I can purchase tickets at the Stadium or at the Mets Shop?

Not good.   Our Continental flight to Edinburgh out of Newark last year had a birdstrike as it was taking off (think it was at around 12,000ft).   Thud.   Nearly pooped my panties.   Hadn't thought about the need to ditch fuel to ensure a safe landing until then.

I returned home from work to find my wife gone and a notenailed o the door.
We have taken your wife.   
We want £500,000 or you won't see her again.   
Do NOT call the Police.  Do NOT think we are joking.   
We are very determined. 
We await your call.

They weren't kidding.   
"Determined" isn't the word for it.   
I have 36 missed calls from them so far.

My girlfriend was ticked off about something, so I decided to get her something silky.   Unfortunately, she didn't like the colour of the emulsion.

She beat the Koreans and Chinese at their own sport (taekwando).   This 19 year old WelshBrit Olympian had plenty to say about her coach.

You haven't tuned in to the Olympics?   I'm flabbergasted.   Like The Open, Wimbledon and Tour de France, it gets me another few weeks closer to 5 September.

You probably won't know then that the US are doing okay, they've got a swimmer who I believe goes by the name of Phelps, who is pretty good.

 We're doing well in the only sports that really matter, namely rowing and cycling. =)).

I feel like a chilled botle of Grolsch is required having just looked at that photo.
