Winter Olympics

Are you going to be avidly watching them? Or boycotting them? Or something in between, casual viewer?

Interesting how the FBI recommend competitors take burner phones rather than their own!

As far as I'm concerned it's akin to the 1936 Berlin Olympics in Nazi Germany.  I won't be watching.

Diplomats from various countries (including the US) are boycotting the event. AFAIK no athletes have been prevented from travelling to compete though.

I'll watch the alpine skiing if it's on at a sensible time. Probably watch the Ski-Cross too coz it's often quite exciting - in a rollerball meets demolition derby on ice sort of style.

Yes, and just 3 years later we were at war. I just hope history is not repeating itself, now that Russia has sided up with China very closely.  :o

If push comes to shove we may have to give them a British bloody nose. They'll know not to mess with us after that. ::) ::)

The chances are it may be the other way round as it was in 1939/40, and with modern weapons it may then be all too late. :(
