Reply With Quotenot a full olympic event but it is a demonstration event. I applied for tickets but couldn't get them - unsurprisingly oversubscribed. We did get tickets for football (soccer to you) and tennis at the olympics plus field hockey, cycles & athletics (track & field) for the warm ups. Add in some cricket and we have a good summer of sport!Originally Posted by ReMark

Flogging dead horses will be an Olympic event this year for the first time.

If football is soccer, then what is field hockey. Where I grew up, cows left it in the grass.

I like the idea of the live chat but then we'll be expected by soem to man the thing at all hours as though this were our job ......If you would like to help my 2 year old niece Alaina in her battle against Leukemia you can donate blood at any Carter Blood Care and put SPON050875 on the donor form. Thank you so much for any contributions in this matter that you can make.
Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter.

Ideally we would all continuously post totally random hypothetical preemptive responses, to as yet unmisforumulated ambiguous questions, in the imperative.
Volume and repetition do not validate opinions forged in the absence of thought.

as a point of principle I don't even read questions with URGENT!!!!! (or similar) until at least one day without response or 3 responses have been received."That's it. It's one thing for a ghost to terrorize my children, but quite another for him to play my Theremin." Homer Simpson

I propose a new forum rule. Every answer has to be as purposely verbose, hyperbolic, and obfuscitory as possible.
Dadgad, google says you are the first and only person ever to type "unmisformulated" anywhere on the internet.
