We did consider once buying a PHD in Thailand. Was just a fake PHD certificate with Doctor of Basket Weaving.

If it’s not a competition of higher, faster or stronger then it’s not really an Olympic sport and can “tell its story walking!”

Playing with hula hoops and break-nonsense…


…and if we’re being true to the comment they can take long jump with them.

Saw an interesting bit of information with the medal tally per head of population.


Now if you exclude countries with less than 10 medals or populations below 3 million you get the top 3 being NZ, Australia and the Netherlands.

I think maybe instead of population they should do a comparison of wealth of the country.

My NZ relos in law are reminding us of that. They say even when using medals per head of sheep they still come out ahead

Just tell them that they are good at sports because there is no other thing to do in NZ. Flame suit on.

So you are a real Doctor then unlike us mere medicos

I don’t use it except I am tempted sometimes if I visit a surgeon and he can address me as Doctor while I call him Mister .

but apologies for that long and indulgent post before - it was late night and I sort of didn’t realise it was the Olympics thread.

Of it they count population, remove the part of the population who don't give a cough about the event.

Think of it as an “Olympic “ post maybe?
