Yes, nice to see my lottery money being put to good use. The Australians are bit miffed about Team GB doing so well compared to them in the medals table. Although Aus and GB are equal in total number, GB has more golds. Britain is in a state of shock, but the Aussies are whinging in rather a witty way, for example, GB only wins the 'sitting down' sports, like yachting, rowing and cycling; and I heard one Aussie on the radio this morning say that Britain is a land with not many swimming pools, and not much soap either. The 2 sports ministers have a bet on which country will win the most medals in total. The loser has to wear the other country's team shirt at a major sporting event in their own country. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/7548855.stm Bob -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
