London 2012 Olympic bid

I don't think professional sportsmen are allowed to compete.

 

So good that I bought the DVD

 

I think that things have changed ...

 

"While professionals are allowed in the men's tournament, rules
restrict teams to players under 23 years old with the exception of
three over-age players."

That famous Greek emperor?

 

How would you like a map showing the extent of the
Roman empire at different times?

A little detail from elsewhere in the site:

http://www.roman-empire.net/emperors/nero.html

Nero, leaving Rome in charge of the freedman Helius,
went to Greece to display his artistic abilities in
the theatres of Greece. He won contests in the Olympic Games,
- winning the chariot race although he fell off his chariot
(as obviously nobody dared to defeat him).

May I just finish by saying "na na na na na"?

Would you kindly blow a raspberry, and stick two fingers up just to
completely the ensemble

 

[Snip Olympics vs Cold War]

I thought about that when I first read your comments. Didn't understand it.
So thought about it some more.
Given that between 1939 and 1946 various countries around the world,
including Britain, America, Germany, and Russia, took their ploughshares and
beat them into swords, handed out sticks to the peasantry then proceeded to
beat each other soundly about the head and body in what most decidedly could
be called a "real war" rather than a cold one, I have come to the following
conclusion:
Bollox!

 

It's part of the disarming of EU citizens across the piece to ensure there
can be no protest against the conclusion of the "Project"

 

I think I've had an idea. Why don't we combine Synchronized Swimming
with Target Shooting? We'd be doing the human race a favour, and the
viewing figures would be astronomical.

 

So why did they leave us with shotguns and rifles then?

And anyhow, you know most people wouldn't react to a (properly) United
Europe with weapons. Are you sure you haven't spent too much time in
Northern Ireland?

 

You're determined to ignore any humour in replies, that's it!
As you very well know the inference is the EU project is in fact the
creation of the 4th Reich/New Soviet Paradise. I hope it's only humour.....

It's just humour FFS! it resembles bait not at all

 

True. Didn't see the original post, only a later one where the
'dossers' bit wasn't mentioned.

I suspect that jousting would be rather more jolly and pull a larger
