You got the wrong number of TOTAL medals.Coito ergo sum wrote:US 18 gold -- UK 6 gold.Rum wrote:The population of the USA? 230 million? The UK? 56 million. Given we currently have half the medals the USA does by that measure we are beating them!
Just another form of Brit smugness.... we're all so above this whole "nation" thing and the whole idea of "different countries" ... that sort of thing is for the unwashed...Rum wrote:

Re: English butthurt
LOL - nice goal post shifting, man...
Australia has 14 TOTAL medals, to the UK's 20, but you preferred to slam them for their 1 gold vs. UK's 6. By your population analysis. Australia is kicking the UK's ass, because their population is what? 22,000,000? Les than half of the UK.
So, when the comparison is unfavorable -- US 18 gold to UK 6, you change it up and talk about total medals.
Nice.

This is fucking hilarious "We got more golds than you! Nyah!" Seriously who gives a fuck what stranger from what bit of mud wins what bit of metal. Appreciate the talent, because none of you did fuck all but watch some sport (unless you entered and won in which case Well Done!)

Irrelevances that we've been caught up in? Oh shit, we've done that for the last two weeks. Fuck that with a stuffed badger.

I am finding it hard to suppress my feelings of what can really only be described as tribalism after the 90 minutes I just watched on the BBC Olympic coverage. Amazing performances!

Re: English butthurt
So, it's the GB Olympics, is it? That'll be why - in introducing the GB football team's penalty shoot-out tonight, Gary Lineker says, "You never know - WE might win one."
My reaction: "Come on, Korea!"
And then, after South Korea won, Lineker compounds the offence by saying, "Some things never change, do they?"
And folk sometimes wonder why we dislike the English media. And as my grandad used to say folk sometimes ask me why I take strong drink. Is there a smiley that says, "Spits!"?
