    Well I'm back from my exploits :) and what an Olympics and holiday it's been. Well chuffed that TeamGB has almost reached 30 golds and over 60 medals in total. What an achievement for our country and athletes.

    Vetch, in the 1948 Olympics, John Copley won a silver medal for "Engravings and Etchings" in the Arts competition. How about that then?

    That's fantastic,ivor. When did they drop that then?

    What about tossing the caber? Slingshot? Blow football? Subbuteo? All worthy of inclusion,if you ask me.

    The only spice that interests me is in my curries. :biggrin: ...

    They were,and still are,quite appalling. Not a hint of talent.

    Now if you want really talented girl groups,I give you Martha Reeves and the Vandellas;The Supremes: The Marvellettes,and many other Motowners. I'd watch those any time.
