Team GB at Olympics

They could all run quicker than FLC. He gave up after 3 hours. It would have been 3 minutes if he could run quicker than them.

According to the Internet, he could cover 720 metres in 3 hours.

Feck me. And your parents wasted thousands on a private school education. They must be gutted.

Probably not as half as upset as yours must be.

Ah, now that's the fun bit

It's the getting up there to begin with that I struggle with.

Cool Runnings!

If I lived in a cold country I know what sport I would have been doing.

Nope.

You reach or beat your medal goals then the sport is eligible for and gets more funding when it applies for it from the National Lottery.
