I love the fact that sailors have been done for swearing twice this olympics. It's a good way to show we aren't all posh w**kers :) ------------- Online sailing: For when you just can't get to the club: http://visser49erracing.wordpress.com/2009/10/20/online-sailing/ - Visser49erracing |

Just saw a boxer interviewed post-fight. Commentator summed up with something along the lines of "what a nice polite buch those boxers are...not like those sailors who swear like troopers!". b**locks...we don't swear that much do we? ------------- RS700 GBR922 "Wirespeed" Fireball GBR14474 "Eleven Parsecs" Enterprise GBR21970 Bavaria 32 GBR4755L "Adastra" |

When Percy swore I noticed he and Bryony exchanged a glance, I wonder if he had done it on purpose following her outburst the day before? ------------- RS600 1001 |

They keep making reference to the incidents on the BBC, whether or not they're talking about sailing. I don't think Shaw can really appreciate what an impact she's had
