-- Posted by Prince o palities at 6:14 am on Aug. 16, 2008 They're having quite the poor showing at the Olympics.  I expected better of you, English. You're getting heartily trounced in the total medal count by former colonies the USA and Australia (that's not even to mention the fact that the French are being you   ).  I'm not sure how you can face yourselves collectively in the mirror each morning. Shape up!  You represent the (kind of) English speaking world! -- Posted by TheOtherHorseman at 6:14 am on Aug. 16, 2008 Quote: from Prince o palities at 9:14 am on Aug. 16, 2008 I expected better of you, English. Quoting this out of context so you sound like a disappointed Amish farmer. -- Posted by robdude at 6:15 am on Aug. 16, 2008 They won at bycicle racing -- Posted by lonewolf03 at 6:15 am on Aug. 16, 2008 Quote: from TheOtherHorseman at 6:14 am on Aug. 16, 2008 Quote: from Prince o palities at 9:14 am on Aug. 16, 2008 I expected better of you, English.

Freakishly awesome -- Posted by Eos at 6:16 am on Aug. 16, 2008 I agree completly. But if you look at the size of China and the USA, then look at the size of Great Britan. BIG difference. -- Posted by Anonymous at 6:16 am on Aug. 16, 2008 They are megashits -- Posted by flanders5t6 at 6:17 am on Aug. 16, 2008 haha if you concider how small we are... i think you will find that we are actually the BEST performing country if you take into consideration the population to medals ratio. -- Posted by its only me at 6:19 am on Aug. 16, 2008 hahahaha thanks for that We won the rowing this morning :D -- Posted by osmoticdespair at 6:19 am on Aug. 16, 2008 I was disappointed too. There was this unintentionally hilarious guy on tv though. He effectively said "no it doesn't matter how hard you try! What matters is how many golds!!" -- Posted by robdude at 6:19 am on Aug. 16, 2008 Quote: from flanders5t6 at 9:17 am on Aug. 16, 2008 haha if you concider how small we are... i think you will find that we are actually the BEST performing country if you take into consideration the population to medals ratio. wrong, Japan and South Korea better -- Posted by newblader at 6:19 am on Aug. 16, 2008 Give us a while and we'll catch up.
