| Apparently foreign athletes are being under fed and badly housed.
But some real performances have been put up.
What realy suprized me initially was that races and events could be won and lost by hundreths of a second.
Then it brought back a debate I had in the 70s with Capt Cutcliffe.
I said going to two places of decimals was ridiculous.
Based on the fact that a 60 mile race could be won by two inches and distances many yards adrift, one fancier yards too long and another yards short etc;
There is no doubt whatsoever that the Chinese are no duck eggs when it commes to technology and it suprizes me that any other nation has been allowed to win anything, maybe a ruse to put us off the alliance they are conductiing with Russia and if it commes to fruition, you aint seen nothing yet.
Be very interesting to see what happens when the Games are over and the other games begin.
Regards.

Had a look at China and their economy. Apparently they do not calculate matters as we do David and can manipulate to suit. They use more coal than any other nation and much of their economy relies on it. They have in many instances kept factories open in spite of the virus, at what cost in health and lives etc; no one knows. I agree that the majority of the world is in a right state and in my opinion beyond repair by man. Just waiting for Israel, Iran and North Korea to kick off and Bingo, There is talk of maybe thousands of people from the Ucraine wanting sanctuary here if Russia attacks. We will soon have more foreigners than British on our little island. Regards. |

| Here we go, here we go.
Americans and other Nationals advised to leave the Ucraine immediately.
Russia ready to invade, cannot see them doing so whilst the Chinese Olympics are on, or could it be a collusion ?.
Looked into the North Korea situation, similar circumstances regarding the virus as here, people making money by fraud etc;.
Whilst on the war side they have been testing several kinds of rockets etc;
Looked into Iran - Israel situation nearly at boiling point.
All in all not a very ideal situation.

| No need to worry about anything Knackered we have all our priorities in the right order.
Headlines, when on the verge of war, RAF Chief flashed a neighbour by being naked in his own garden.
Inside most recently only concerned with sex and self gratification and how to have the best sex etc; (as if it was a new invention).
A realy entertining new show LINGO, not going very long, had two lesbians on kissing each other every time they answered a question, another lesbian pair not much better, three lots of homosexuals, all that is missing is a pair identifying as cats (univercity over here said student had every right to identify as a cat).
In an attempt to pacify the Woke idiots commons sense has gone out the window.
I have no problem whatsoever with coloured people, I think many are far better humans than many white people, however, our television now has far more coloured people on than the their numbers warrant percentage wise.
The only good thing at the moment we have a fine bunch of idiots running nearly all our affairs ??????.
Regards.

| Just read one of the top police officers has been taking prohibited drugs.
Traces of drugs have also been found in the House of Commons, dread to think what is in the Lords.
Have always said, anyone who is in positions of authority that affects the public should have their medical records checked on a regular basis, or not be allowed in those positions.
I am sure some of the MPs would be found wanting.

| government and the police are no different from joe blogs when i comes to scamming and criminal activities, in fact they are worse ........they are legalised criminals.
the amount of police with criminal records is quite high, they are given the jobs when they have broken the law ......yet ordinary people have to pay for a check to start a new job, to say they have no criminal record etc .
and who does the check ...the police, you couldnt make it up . |

| Looks like we will have at least two medals at the Olympics, been interesting to watch the curling, bit like playing marbles as a kid.
Would not spend too much money David, we will all have to contribute to Andrews get out of jail scenario.
Have to put up the price of your young ones.

| him , the mother and the rest of them already have millions, if not billions of pounds off the people of the country, yet they never pay for anything, it still comes out of the tax payer and the people .
the royals are the biggest benefit scroungers in the uk . |

Olympics, not keen on Russia but feel sorry for the 15 year old dancer who was favourite to win, but under a drugs investigation, she was leading into the final,and fell several times in the final, think she was under instructions to mess it up. Said there would be no medal ceramony if she won a medal and another Russian was in gold position. Cannot even play sport in a proper manner. Regards. Regards. |

| The Scotish lads got our first medal (silver) was a real close call and to me enjoyable watching.
On the other matters, bet once the Olympics are over, the fun and not so funny games will start in the Ucraine.

A free democratic elected government there of the locals choosing, now being invaded by a nut case of a tyrant type hoping to leave his name in history for all to remember Democracy as we know it may have it's many problems but suggest Putin's way now forward with how he is acting is a short cut in the end to perhaps Armageddon if we all stand back as you suggest & perhaps do absolutely nothing. End of the day easy to sit back & be a chair type expert, but sometimes sadly more is required than simple words when facing a tyrant with evil intent as with Putin I suggest, even if in the end unfortunately certain folk may just pay a heavy price in the cause & pursuit of our general Democratic way. |
