The IOC insist on it. Some French bloke founded the IOC back in 1896 and so French and English are the Olympic languages. The IOC insist on French going first to make up for the French being inferior in everything else
Nice one swarbs, fountain of knowledge that you are.. Never noticed it before.. This red button **** is getting on my nerves.. All I want to do is watch the women's pole vault!!!!
She has gone down in my estimations, have Facebook stalked her and she is from London lives in Swansea and has picked up the accent.. She is a fake.. With her dusky welsh accent..
Apparently mate a load of the Jewish community come down here mob handed and stay at one of the college campuses (campii ?!?). No idea why, if there's a convention or something, but they do it every year. I think I know the gas pumping chick but will have a look tomorrow I think.
Interesting. Then again, perhaps not; "Swansea has the distinction of being home to the oldest Jewish community in Wales. According to tradition, Jews have been resident in the city since at least the 1730s. The first formal Jewish institution to be established in Swansea was the Jewish cemetery on Townhill in 1768. The first purpose built synagogue was opened in Waterloo Street in 1818. This was replaced in 1859 by the Goat Street synagogue. This building served the community until February 1941 when it was destroyed during the 'Three Nights Blitz'. In 1955, after a period without a permanent home, the congregation moved to a new synagogue at Ffynone. The congregation continues to meet regularly for religious worship, keeping alive a tradition that dates back well over 250 years." They are here to pay their rememberence. They all stay at the Uni Townhill campus near the Jewish cemetery. Me and a mate nearly burned the halls of residence down there, it was quite a hoot. (by accident of course)
Been in London today, watched a bit of the triathlon, was a good day being there.. Saw some American athletes being interviewed and some French ones literally bumped into Justin Lee Collins went to some weird markets..
Oh dear, someone blundered into an adult conversation without his sense of humour? Judaism is a religion by the way, not a race.
Not sure yet if the van Persie rumours are true but I hope they are as it's enjoyable watching that KPR **** go into jealous meltdown on the tedium thread. Marvelous.
