But is it art? 4:33pm on 15 Jan 2009 I wonder how the Czech Republic is shown on this piece of... art.

Personally I think the Czech Republic should be represented on this mosaic with a tuft of bum fluff -- those pesky Ceskis.

But anyway it's all in jest and great fun obviously.
Haye has mouth - and plenty of trousers 11:36am on 17 Nov 2008 British boxers are going to challenge for the top again? the swine... It was good without them at the top in the all-important division. It was good while it lasted... anyway either of the Klitschkos is going to make a chunk of salo from Haye.
German identity angst 12:20pm on 01 Nov 2008 At 10:44am on 01 Nov 2008, Copper_bottom wrote:

"I have lived in Germany and found that in general the people now prefer to be 'nationalistic' about 'Europe' (more specifically the EU) rather than of Germany as a nation state. They remain naturally proud of their cultural and regional characteristics.

Look at German yachts abroad; many now use an EU flag with only a very small German tricolour in the corner".

But is it all that surprising? After all the Nazis were also for a European Union and succeed in uniting Europe under their control albeit for a very short time. Nazi crimes and policies aside, the only other difference between Europe united under the Nazis and the European Union today is that Britain is in it.

In establishing and expanding the European Union & playing a major role in it, Germany seems to have succeeded by economic means what it failed to achieve by military ones on the previous attempt.
Road rage 10:13pm on 12 Oct 2008 "...The simple, very simple, truth is that blacks vote overwhelmingly for Democrats. It doesn't matter if they are black, blue, white, brown, purple, alien. If they are a democrat in good standing they vote for that democrat..."

I've always thought it strange. It was the Republicans who set them free, you know.
How to build on the Great Haul of China 1:59pm on 25 Aug 2008 Congrats to Team "G"B for finishing distant fourth.
China for gold, Britain for bronze? 09:42am on 24 Aug 2008 # 151

May I remind you that "doping" is definitely an English word, and doping seems to be another one in the long list of questionable British inventions (together with concentration camps - invention by Kitchener).

According to wikipedia, the first use of doping in modern times was in 1807 by a British long-distance walker (and it only went worse from then on).
China for gold, Britain for bronze? 09:56am on 23 Aug 2008 Slater, i'm slating you for some punishment. Is it really in the Olympic spirit to raise all those questionable doping issues, especially since Team GB has at least one athlete (don't remember her name, but she was, i think, in the 4 X 400 relay) who shouldn't be in the Olympics according to Britain's own rules (like Chambers). Yes, Russia's entire rowing was thrown out but they have a new team in these games whilst you have the same. See what i mean? It's not been proven that British athletes are not drug cheats. In fact, such rapid rise in the medals table should really attract some disinterested attention from WADA
China for gold, Britain for bronze? 4:18pm on 22 Aug 2008 Britain for wooden spoon really
Drug cheats getting comeuppance 3:27pm on 21 Aug 2008 no way there are no drug cheats in this edition of Team (G)B
Frankie's early exit hangs heavy 10:12pm on 07 Aug 2008 i've never before heard of a boxer withdrawing from the Olympic contest because he can't make the weight. Either this one is a first or there's something else involved and it's just a cover up of something more questionable...
