He refers to curling as, "that shuffleboard on ice game." I have to remember that he's a child and we have to monitor his exposure to media. <img src="http://www.stephenfry.com/bb-content/plugins//bb-smilies/default/icon_rolleyes.gif" title=":roll:" class="bb_smilies" /> TobiasMonk on "Winter Olympics" http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/winter-olympics/page/7#post-220107 Sun, 28 Feb 2010 03:53:00 +0000 TobiasMonk 220107@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ <blockquote><cite>Tito <a href=""""//www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/winter-olympics/page/7#post-220093""""">said</a>:</cite> I love it when you speak French <img src="http://www.stephenfry.com/bb-content/plugins//bb-smilies/default/icon_cool.gif" title="8)" class="bb_smilies" /> </blockquote> You little minx you.

"It's not over till the fat lady sings..." in this case, the fat lady being the judges lol As I only can see the Olympics on one channel ( the live version I mean...there's a channel that does the replays of the events ) and that means, in my time zone, that I have to stay up till nearly two in the morning to catch some of the events I want to see...I didn't see the Ono race but now know something bad happened LOL I'll watch the replays.. I guess if the Canadian mens hockey team loses it won't be so bad now, because the Canadian womens hockey team kicked the U.S. womens hockey teams' asses all over the rink and won gold. Congrats! <img src="http://www.stephenfry.com/bb-content/plugins//bb-smilies/default/icon_smile.gif" title=":)" class="bb_smilies" /> Not sure, but I seem to recall someone saying that the speed skate last night was Apollo's last chance to win. So if he was DQ'd...what a drag!! I don't think we'll be seeing him skate in any more Olympics. Laur1991 on "Winter Olympics" http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/winter-olympics/page/7#post-219971 Sat, 27 Feb 2010 06:34:33 +0000 Laur1991 219971@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ Good on you Michael! <img src="http://www.stephenfry.com/bb-content/plugins//bb-smilies/default/icon_biggrin.gif" title=":D" class="bb_smilies" /> So you lived in Seattle for a while? I love it down there. Yeah I don't get the whole DQ thing in speed skating. You probably had a better view of the whole thing watching TV than I did in the stands. I was way in the back, so I didn't see anything unusual. It was sad though, because S.Korea was doing their victory lap around the arena with their flags when the announcement was made. <img src="http://www.stephenfry.com/bb-content/plugins//bb-smilies/default/icon_confused.gif" title=":?" class="bb_smilies" /> And the Apolo Ohno DQ today was really uncalled for... I didn't see anything at all. Oh well, I guess that's why they're the judges and I'm not. Nitro on "Winter Olympics" http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/winter-olympics/page/7#post-219863 Fri, 26 Feb 2010 16:38:06 +0000 Nitro 219863@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ Oh my, looks like its the yanks vs the canucks in mens hockey...I wouldn't want to be a player nor in the arena in that game LOL Nice pics Laur. I watched the womens 3000m speed skate relay not-live..but Wow! To say S.Korea might be a little ticked off at the judges call, which DQ'd them after they crossed for the gold medal, is an understatement. So China got the gold. The american womens team earned a bronze only be default. They actually came in 4th and last and only got that because of the DQ call on Korea. Which isn't much of an 'earn' in my book...Did you see the offensive manuever Laur? On replay, it looked to me like she didn't just block the Chinese skater, but actually shoved her off a little...I don't know the rule details so don't know if the call was 'just' or not... Tobi, I don't know if we'll see Olympic tubing...that requires no effort either does it, except hoping you won't smash into a tree? lol michael on "Winter Olympics" http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/winter-olympics/page/7#post-219857 Fri, 26 Feb 2010 16:12:11 +0000 michael 219857@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ <blockquote><cite>Laur1991 <a href=""""//www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/winter-olympics/page/7#post-219571""""">said</a>:</cite> TEAM VANCOUVER?!
