I think you need to read that again - it said vacation, not vaccination.

Holy f**k! Very sorry cats_09. I was getting all political and shit.

 

[Spazz Cat]

Or maybe i just hate vacations.

Surely not Wally, Vegas, Christmas OR European?!?!!?!?

 

[Spazz Cat]

Nah i like pop. Dont mind some of Delta's songs either but I cant stand her. Massive campaigner and upherself. Imo.

I've never really been able to get into it.
I did love R&B Fridays though. But that could've been just cause it was Friday.

RnB and hip hop is my no.1 fave.

Certainly not Christmas. That was the best one.

 

[Shell]

R&B Fridays are pretty repetitive tho, they get boring after a while.

Should play more extended mixes.

 

[Shell]

Men's bb Gold Medal match coming up soon.

USA v France.

Its like choosing between Hitler and Stalin..

 

[Shell]

Think I'll barrack for the US. I have American mates.

I know no French people whatsoever.

Was good to see Canada win the women's soccer gold last night. Sweden shouldn't have been there after that our disallowed goal against them in the semi final.

Good. /didnt know it was on- but Im glad too.

 

[winty]

We have two kayak crews in the finals later this afternoon.

Came down to a penalty shootout. The Canadians won 3-2 in penalties - the Canadian keeper saved 3 shots, and a 4th shot went over the crossbar.

Ah yeah... I think I was watching Below Deck.

The only thing I'd miss Below Deck for would be for a Geelong Grand Final.

To be fair, Canada shouldn't have been there either

Canada beat America on the back of a penalty where the Canadian player ran into the back of the American defender, put the elbow into the back and then fell over when the American kicked the ball away

I didn't mind seeing America get beat, but it was pushing on being more dubious than our loss

 

[Shell]

The matches should have been switched around then.

She only saved 2 - first hit the post which she didn't get a touch on, but wouldn't know it from her celebrations

I know goalkeepers tend to have a bit of arrogance to them, but I found the Canadian really unlikable and her attempts at staring down the Swedes before their kicks as just desperation or something - was hoping someone would walk up the her and we'd get the classic boxing star stare down

All good Spazz - I initially read it as you did, and then thought I'd post it for fun to show how easily we'd read what we think it says and not necessarily what it does say

 

[Shell]

Tip off now

 

[Shell]

I hear Duran Duran is playing.

I thought they only did music

 

[cats_09]

I think winty mentioned this earlier, but the good news story from this morning - Diver making her Olympic debut at 44 and becomes just the second Aussie to finish top 10 in the marathon

 

[winty]

Woohoo! Aussie diver has qualified for the final in the men's 10m platform.

 

[Shell]

Final on 4pm today.

Did the little boy make it as well?

 

[cats_09]

Did the little boy make it as well?

The 14yr old Japanese kid?

Pretty sure he was right at the top of the qualifications

Must say, he looks older than 14
