    This is true. We were in Holland last week and the coverage there was dull because it was all the stuff that the Dutch team were doing well in. With so much to cover there HAS to be a way to filter the coverage. Covering your own countries events would seem least likely to get complaints, of course the BBC hadn't counted on the gold medal level moaners on this forum.
    Dear Points of View,
    Why, oh why, oh why, oh why, oh why, oh why is there not more coverage of the Peruvian Olympic team? Of course on the face of it the coverage that you supplied for the Olympics seems good. But, I pay my license fee, I want to watch the ladies from Peru speed walking. Is that too much to ask?

    I think the Daily Mail said that most of the UK team are probably dole scum with too much time on their hands to practice. Some of us have to work for a living and can't squander hour after hour practicing gymnastics in the local community centre. It's a sick sign of our society when we venerate these monsters and award them with so-called 'gold' medals.

    * Sheering

    ---------------------

    Our story begins at the olympics, specifically the wrestling event. It is narrowed down to the Russian or the Australian for the gold medal.

    Before the final match, the Australian wrestler's trainer came to him and said, "Now don't forget all the research we've done on this Russian. He's never lost a match because of this "pretzel" hold he has. Whatever you do, don't let him get you in this hold! If he does, you're finished!"

    The wrestler nodded in agreement. Now, to the match The Australian and the Russian circled each other several times looking for an opening. All of a sudden the Russian lunged forward, grabbing the Australian and wrapping him up in the dreaded pretzel hold! A sigh of disappointment went up from the crowd, and the trainer buried his face in his hands for he knew all was lost. He couldn't watch the ending.

    Suddenly there was a scream, a cheer from the crowd, and the trainer raised his eye just in time to see the Russian flying up in the air. The Russian's back hit the mat with a thud, and the Australian weakly collapsed on top of him, getting the pin and winning the match.

    The trainer was astounded! When he finally got the Australian wrestler alone, he asks, "How did you ever get out of that hold? No one has ever done it before!" The wrestler answered, "Well, I was ready to give up when he got me in that hold, but at the last moment, I opened my eyes and saw this pair of balls right in front of my face.

    "I thought I had nothing to lose, so with my last ounce of strength I stretched out my neck and bit those babies just as hard as I could...You'd be amazed at the surge of strength you get when you bite your own balls!"

    ---------------------

    The Australians are entering the Masturbation Tournament in the olympics this year..

    Very stiff competition though.


    ------------------------
    As for sheep jokes - I think there's a little bit of misinterpretation.. there are more sheep per capita in kiwi-land than in Australia, and the jokes are normally those used between Aussies and kiwis that are "doctored" for the UK audience

    Re: Aussie olympic jokes

    After their failure in the Beijing 2008 Olympic rowing events, the Australians decided to send a spy over to the Great British camp to see if he can pick up any tips.

    The spy returns after observing the British training.

    "It's so simple," he says, "they have eight men rowing and only one man shouting and waving his arms."

    Could be that most of the year, it is hot enough to go swimming...

    They have learnt that a car and a motorbike, is far more useful than some peddled contraption....

    Just as a side note, I have not seen a sheep for many years (but she does keep calling )
    Looking at it on a per capita basis - it's good to be a Kiwi*. http://www.nzherald.co.nz/section/4/...ectid=10528184. If you restrict it to just gold medals the numbers are even better

    That's why they have racks you can put on your "pushy" to achieve this! comp8_product
    And I've seen some guys riding without a rack and just holding their board...

    I was going to correct you by pointing out that the Netherlands Antilles (180k pop) were way ahead of even Slovenia. I'd thought their guy won a silver in the 200m, but it turns out that he was disqualified for running out of lane. Sad.

    I’m always amazed there have a good swimming team, considering it hasn’t rain over there for 30 years, how do they get the water to fill the swimming pools, its taking the **** surely ?

    I read all over the place - on the BBC web site for one - about these Chinese cheerleaders at the Beach Volleyball (the job description was very funny). Did the BBC ever show the cheerleaders? No. Coo chiz, as Molesworth say.
