Gold

No need to send the lobbyists over to the Olympic commitee to get 'family gatherings' entered as an Olympic sport, Israel has finally got its first ever gold. Nice one, Gal. I just saw the medal ceremony on the news and it was quite moving to see the Israeli flag being hoisted. Even mrs. anglosaxy was quick to point out that the Union Jack was below the Israeli flag (a bronze for the Brits)...ahem...I just hope those guys that flocked around him afterwards were his mates and not 'stum' Israelis trying to sink their teeth into his medal. That blond guy puckering up trying to land one on the medal had me in stitches...

What are the odds that windsurfing will become the hot new sport in this country? All those mums taking their younguns to the beach, helping them into wetsuits and waxing down those boards...don't see it somehow, it's an expensive sport...
