We chucked away that bronze.

Anyone got Greek mates who love to get cocky every 4 years and remind everyone that 'They started the Olympics'?

If so, one quick sure-fire to shut them up is to remind them that the Olympics started off with 2 naked Greek guys wrestling in the wilderness on the outskirts of Athens some 2,000+ years ago...

And that conversation went something like:
'You know Stavrous, this is giving me a huge idea!'

'I know Costa.... Your 'HUGE' idea is poking me in the thigh!'

'No you silly buns! I'm talking about something else...'

Shuts them up everytime!


Oh and I heard they cleaned up the Seine for this and the Paris mayor swam in it...

Paris Mayor Defies Poop Threats to Swim in Seine, and Prove a Point

French politicians’ pledge to make swimming possible in the iconic river is a way to ward off criticism about the cost of the cleanup operation.

If you were to build a perfect Olympian they’d be 86% Australian.

Hahaha, well to be honest, if any Tory agreed to swim the Thames for some PR stunt, and there was a massive 'poop' protest, I'd be one of the first to munch a bunch of laxatives and drop trou!

Fiji just battered Australia 31-7 in the Rugby 7s semi. Will play France in the final this evening. Fiji have never lost a match at the Olympics
