Fatima whitbread, now that was a chick with a dick.

Really though, does it?

Some jobs are for men (e.g. coal mining, refereeing football matches, driving taxis) and some are for women (cutting hair, nail bars, pet grooming). We should embrace the differences, not try and normalize them.

Did the ExCel (owned by Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre) experience yesterday. Greco Roman.

Bloody brilliant. Georgian fans the best followed by Iranians some flying Persian flag

Up to Westfield Stratford after to peer through John Lewis' window at the Olympic Park. Shopping centre full of athletes. US Basketball team getting a lot of attention.

Says big, butch Millhouse...

And this is why you are such a valuable and admired pillar of this board!

Actually she was a great athlete and by all accounts is a delightful person, and a loving mother, who overcame a very difficult childhood to achieve great success.

You, on the other hand, reveal yourself with this comment to be just a dick (a misogynistic, homophobic one at that).

Your point is?? I never questioned anything you put in the 1st paragraph and what was homophobic about the comment?

And I love women more than you will ever imagine, just not ugly ones.

I know you like your big words, but please use them in the correct context.

...... but definitely in the 'did she or didn't she?' category for drug-taking suspicions. Look in the files under 'Florence Griffiths-Joiner - Other Cases'.

Boris wades in.............:

" 'Inspire a generation' is our motto. Not necessarily 'Create a generation', which is what they sometimes get up to in the Olympic village."

[London Mayor Boris Johnson extols the "energy and enthusiasm" of the Games' 10,000 athletes, to whom some 150,000 condoms have been distributed]

Acknowledged. Alas I think we have to look back on a whole generation of athletics performances with that question. Note that no world records have yet been broken in the athletics competitions in these games, if I'm not mistaken. When is the last time we have been this far into an Olympics without that happening?

There are a few very prominent GB Olympians who have had late career successes that must be viewed as, at best, verging on improbable... If you win your first Olympic running medal up to 1.5km over the age of, say, 25 then surely there is some basis for skepticism...

I note that you used "e.g." for the list of men's jobs, but not for the list of women's jobs. What are you trying to say?

Yeah......... reassuring then that the latest technology and back-testing techniques are so good - note the guy (can't remember name or sport - I'll check) who has now been banned because they have been able to RETEST a sample he gave at Athens in 2004.

Someone is storing samples for years? All a bit Howard Hughes.

I agree...its really interesting to watch

lol...are you serious ?
