We won the curling not too long ago Jimbob ;)
I do love the fans over there, at every event there's been a Union Flag somewhere with some mad brits stood nearby.

You could have 140 years of no achievement, or twenty years of glorious victories, you decide.

Re: Gold for Team GB
This is the first individual medal for 30 years (since Cousins in 1980) - we've won gold in team events since then (curling, ice dancing etc). A great achievement
R.I.P Dale....always and forever in our hearts

Typical, a medal for laying down

I somehow saw this last night, well I didn't see Williams run but I saw the other womens and when they did the ghost replay there wasn't 1 that was even remotely close to her. The course must take some battering after a while though.
