Interesting to see that Aus got 14 golds last time round, probably mostly in swimming, but this time, the US have hoovered those up? Michael Phelps is a merman and I'm pretty sure that is against the rules.

Well played sir now to win a couple more golds to stick it up those sheep shaggers. :cheer:

The Pope was today knocked down at the start of Christmas mass by a woman who hopped over the barriers. The woman was said to be, "Mentally unstable."

Which is probably why she went unnoticed among a crowd of Christians.

I've just returned from Portland and the Aussies had taken over the best local pub as 'Official Pub of the Australian Sailing Team'.

It is a lovely pub, next to the beach, serving real ale and fine local seafood.

The first night the aussies had it serving Fosters and Hog Roast. :nono:

Supporters of the Australian Sailing Team at the London Olympics, along with media boat drivers, support staff and a lot of locals, are flocking to the Cove House Inn overlooking the Atlantic Ocean in Portland.

The pub has been officially comandeered by the team, with support crew member Stewart Wood decking it out in Australian flags, inflatable kangaroos and other Australian insignia. He has erected a signboard showing the distance to places such as Anzac Cove, the Gold Coast, Perth and Wangi Wangi, the home town of Nathan Outteridge and Iain Jensen on Lake Macquarie. The staff are wearing AST tee-shirts and there is even a SLAM shop selling official team gear.

The Portland residents have embraced the concept and apart from suggesting a "locals lane" for quick service at the bar, appear to bear no ill-will to the antipodeans who have invaded their space. (People who live in Portland are known as "Islanders" and their attitude to "mainlanders" is summed up by the bumper sticker which says, "Keep Portland Weird".)

At breakfast the morning after I arrived, I heard the media boat drivers at my hotel talking about the Aussie pub and saying it was "the place to go" after their work was done. I have also bumped into plenty of Channel Nine/Foxtel staff shooting footage there, and last night we all gathered to watch the opening ceremony from London. As the photo shows, Malcolm Page and Mat Belcher dressed in their formal team clothing for the event - Mal showed us his name which is printed inside the jacket, along with those of Australia's other gold medallists from past Olympics.

A huge contingent of family and friends of the sailors is due to arrive today, and many will make their way to the pub for dinner and a drink. The Outteridge party is rumoured to number 25, while David and Mavis Slingsby are bringing seven friends from the Gosford Sailing Club to support Tom. Last night Olivia Price's mother was in attendance but her husband was with Olivia's brother Harry at the 29er Worlds in Germany - the trials of being sailing parents!

Right in front of the main bar entrance is Stewart Wood's masterpiece, a tally board showing the medal count. Hopefully Australia will be at the top of the table, leading to more of the good-natured banter between Aussies and locals that has been going on for the past week.
