Everybody Wants Some!!

[Just-Jude]

Has the Brexit result inspired Team GB at the Olympics? The medals just keep piling up, with the French and Germans looking on in amazement as we celebrate our success.

Do you think the EU will allow us to leave if they're going to lose all the prestige we have brought them?

[ummmm]

A bit of Sunday afternoon trolling....yay

[Hopkirk]

Can we get this thread round to immigration?

[Mamyalynne]

I'm not the brightest biscuit in the barrel today - are you implying JJ that before the referendum our athletes competed on behalf of the French and Germans?

[Just-Jude]

ummmm, why do you consider a perfectly reasonable question to be trolling?

[bookbinder]

Our athletes haven't brought any prestige to the EU. They were competing for the UK, so the prestige belongs to us.

[Just-Jude]

No Mamya, but they revel in the prestige we bring them.

[Prudie]

I shouldn't think they give a toss

[Tilly2]

I can't see anyone reveling.

[scorpiojo]

I haven't had any Revels for ages

[Just-Jude]

I doubt if the Remainers will be happy with our success, being "Proud to be British" is the new fashion.

[Tilly2]

What an unsubstantiated thing to say.

[EcclesCake]

Utter tosh JJ.

[ummmm]

And that's what I meant by an afternoon trolling...yay.

[Just-Jude]

Why is it "utter tosh" to feel proud of our sporting achievements?

[retroactive]

The Germans weren't looking on in amazement when GB lost the Gold to them in the Dressage or the Shooting or the Rowing...

[SIRandyraven]

Are the Gold medals real Gold ?
Just wondering

[retroactive]

No they are really chocolate with foil on them ;-)

[SIRandyraven]

Special chocolate that does not meat in the Rio heat ?

Are the silver ones also chocolate ?

///Olympic gold medals haven't been made from solid gold since the 1912 Stockholm Games, yet they remain valuable in terms of their metal content because they are 92.5% silver (sterling silver), plated with at least 6 mm of 24k or solid gold. The remaining 7.5% is copper.///
