Well it's started if you can see it through the thick smog :-X
Olyroos drew 1-1 with Serbia.
-
To be quite frank (no my name isn't frank). I'm not really that interested in the game. For this reason alone.
It seem that once they have finished what ever sports they play they tend to head off to do a worlds championship. So why have the game when this happens all the time. Just my opinion.
But here I will say that I like to watch the 1500 swim with Grant Hacket, Boxing and Weight Lifting.
:thumbsup Thats all folks. :thumbsup
-
Will watch opening ceremony till 10:30, then over for Storm v Eagles, should be live, 9 r u know, WGAF about cats dees on 7 :sleep
-
Wondering how many people have had seizures in the first minute or so of the opening ceremony lol
Very flashy = literally!
-
I wonder if the guy who lit the flame has any eyebrows left today ;D
They copied Sydney doing the cute little kid thing with their own version of Niki Webster lol but the scroll, globe and the 2d to 3d Olympic rings and dove were impressive. The Aussie got a big cheer too. Got to love all the pollies on their junket getting their face on camera :wallywink.
-
The volleyball has been great so far. One of the girls is doing everything. Her partner has just been sitting back watching the other one win every point lol
Quite amazing really :thumbsup
-

We're doing alright so far. 4th on the medal table with 2 gold and 3 bronze. Libby Trickett (Lenton) getting the Aussies second gold :clapping.

Apparently the little girl in the red singing was all mimed and the fireworks outside the Bird's Nest were all fake - prerecorded. There's also been complaints that athletes families can't get tickets into venues, yet the venues aren't full.

China's version of Milli Vanilli lol.

If Graeme Arnold ever gets another gig as coach of an Australian soccer team I'll do this -> :banghead. The Frawley of soccer :help.
-
Stephanie Rice has won her 3rd goal medal and scored her 3rd world record in the 4x200 freestyle replay.
That makes it 5 Gold, 4 Silver and 7 Bronze for the Aussies so far.
-
I happened to change the channel and the games were on and they were playing this game like soccer but they threw this smaller ball. I was actually fasinated with it and watched it to the end. But I don't know what its called. If I was younger and fitter I would have love to play that game.

It's called Handball. It's very popular in Europe.
-
There was another game of it on last night and it was really good to watch. I wish I was young and fit enough toplay the game. And I also wished it was about when I was a kid. But back when I was a kid if you played basketball you were like an outcast. It was football or nothing.
And Mightytiges thanks for the heads up to its name.

ouch !!!!

Ouch indeed! :o Poor bugger :P
Great effort by the Boomers to knock off Russia in the basketball :clapping.
-
Dale Weightman's cousin Lisa Weightman in the marathon.
She's struggling a bit at the moment
Go Lisa :gotigers
-
I hope she comes up to somewhere close to the top 10 would be good. Go Lisa
-
How about Usain Bolt last night in the 100m - 9.69s - and he pulled up at the end too :gobdrop
-
come on hackett.
3rd with 3 laps to go
-
How come the Tunisian can get out of the water before the others are finished and not get disqualified like our girls did?
-
Emma Snowsill has just won gold in the triathlon. Aussies now with 9 gold and in 4th place on the medal table.
-

Might be sour grapes but the Tunisian guy had just come back from 18 months out due to doping as well.
Anyway we're doing well provided there's water lol. Reminds me of the Goodies episode where they can't ski so they melt all the ice at the Winter Olympics to win all the medals.
-
I want to nominate my Aussie medal of the games, Sally McLellan 110 metre hurdles 'Silver'.
Just great to see such a down to earth person get the best from themselves on the biggest stage.
She is grouse mate, ship yeah ... onya Sal :thumbsup

They showed some of last night on Ch 7. That team of Russian rhythmic gymnists were just amazingly freakish :o.
The most inspiring moment for me so far was that German weightlifter whose wife had died only about 9 months ago in a car accident. It ended up that he had to lift 10kg more than he had ever lifted before in his life to win the gold on his third and the last lift of the night. This was after he had put down his second lift which was 20kg less than his third. He amazingly did it and won before collapsing over the top of the weights on the floor in tears. It put a lump in your throat watching it that's for sure :clapping.

It tugged at the heartstrings watching it that's for sure. Shear guts and inner strength :clapping.

jealousy is a curse MOI. I suppose you can only be bitter, when you look at how stunning she is.
I for one is very happy to wake up and see Rice in the papers every day of the week.
Bruce can say what he likes about her as far as im concerned.

You're an idiot, Daniel.
Stephanie is a stunner
Bruce is the idiot.
As per usual you completely miss the point. But that's no great surprise!

Wouldnt look twice at Stephanie Rice in a pub, club or walking down the street.
But yes, compared to Schipper or Trickett she is a beauty.

Well that's understandable....considering you're close to illiterate and pictures would be your main
source of communication with a distant society.

So long as you "Is" happy numbnuts.
Your attempted reverse psychology is as entertaining as your inability to string a sentence together without stuffing it up.
