Passing Thought

Scotland: 8.2% of the UK population

Scotland: 100% of UK Beijing Winter Olympic medals

Obviously a well done to the medal winners. I was only having a laugh with Maggie, not being anti Scotland.

Our local hero who missed on the medals

All the team GB medals awarded at the Winter games went to Scottish people. Sounds about right. Cost the rest of us £28 million and we got nothing out of it.

Well done, but would mean more if Scotland had won 20 not 2.

While we're counting and making passing thought comments, may be I missed it but am surprised no-one has pointed out on here or in the media that almost 100% of our winter olympic team were white, not at all representative

Yeah they love their skiing and ice skating those "non whites".

[bobbinwales]

I'm surprised Clare Balding didnt cover it Togo. I seen a long discussion she was presenting about how to make the games more sustainable/enviromentally friendly to reduce what you call 'glowbull' warming .

[Togo]

I think she was "invited" to officiate but declined because she couldn't stand all the backsliding Bobbin.

In Scotland, curling is one of the only activities where, as a male, you can say to a woman that she is 'heavy' or 'wide' to their face and get away with it.

yeah foo and Fresno Air terminal is just about the only place you can go to and ask, Are you going to FAT, and not get slapped or hit
