Britannia rules the waves! I give you this stirring video............
An apology to Tillerman from the blogmeister.........I admit my attempt at tongue in cheek humor may have been a bit over the top. Here are Tillerman's comments taking me to task for perhaps being a bit heavy handed..........
"Oh come on. I'm not that chauvinistic.
I've also done posts recently about the success of Kiwi and French sailors in major Olympic class regattas; my post about the attitudes of American Laser sailors was a repost of a comment - not my views; and my latest post about British Girls was just a blatant attempt to find an excuse to write about Pippa Middleton's bottom."
Hi Rod ... I'm in Florida but not that obsessed with Man United ... Regards .... Ryan Giggs , to Wayne Rooney who sweeps it out wide to Antonio Valencia , who crosses to Rooooooooooney .... 1-0 !!!

Len, congrats on Man United beating main rival Chelsea 2-1. Looks like another Premeirship title heading their way.
ReplyDeleteTillerman, I apologize if my attempt at tongue in cheek humor may have been a bit over the top (I had the video and needed to link it up to a post). You are quite correct that your Olympic coverage is definitely more balanced than I made it out to be. And I definitely liked the post on Pippa Middleton's bottom.
The problem with the Internet is it is hard to gauge when you need to cool it down.
No offence taken Tweezerman. I must admit that I am mystified by and not a little disappointed with my adopted country's apparent difficulty in performing better at Olympic sailing. And of course I am also proud that my birth country does so well at Olympic sailing.
ReplyDeleteI suspect I will continue to report on this contrast and explore possible reasons over the coming months leading up to the Olympic Regatta next year. Especially if that gives me an excuse to report on Pippa Middleton's bottom again.
