Default God Bless Claire Balding

She really is a trooper. Trying desperately hard to get the country interested in the Winter Olympics. When she said the other night that the country was gripped (or something like that) about the womens curling event she really did seem sincere. I watched it and hard as I tried I just couldn't see the point, is it me or is it really the most useless sport ever invented?

Best moment of the games coverage for me was when she was explaining about those two man luge things.... She said, "Basically one man lies on top of another man and they slide down the Shute... Mr Putin should go and watch that particular event, he'd love it."

in response to the question - nope, formation dancing in a swimming pool already has that Gold Medal

but Claire seems to doing well considering her "marital" status considering the statements by Putin and his men.

Considering the appalling mess of uncompleted facilities and lack of personal privacy perhaps now is the time to call a halt for such a huge waste of money.

I guess you could say the same about bowls or Boules/Pétanque but millions of people seem to enjoy that and Curling is essentially the same but colder!

Believe it not some people think Football is useless!

Whatever turns you on

not me - just the prancing diva's they have performing in it, give them a swimming pool and enter them into the Olympics
many fine games at the basic level with great ball and personal skills

and as to £300k per week for some guy called Rooney - now that is taking the Mickey
