oh my god
how can one guy be so retarded
yes english people play cricket it is by no means snooty it also has nothing to with what he said
its to do with the excesses of our sports policies.
and like a million other countries play and follow cricket, australians new zealanders indians etc
and most are bigger fans than english people.
and what the hell do you mean by india and australia are the only ones worth anything?
do you mean in cricket? becuase then surely you would have to follow cricket to have such an opinion?
or do you mean just in general which i believe qualifies you as a racist bigot
but we've all seen and found that to be true before so i wouldnt put that past you.

I've never watched so much TV and read so much in such a short period. All the Beijing coverage is fascinating. I'm getting tired of the NBC coverage - they've been trying to focus on a few stories and sacrificed the rest. Typical. I've had enough of rowing and beach volleyball. I've never been a big fan of beach volleyball. Why do the girls wear skimpy bikinis and the guys wear baggy t-shirts and shorts? And what's up with the horrid surf music? Moreso, why doesn't NBS show the bikini-clad cheerleaders between matches? And there's just too much coverage of Phelps. Sure, the most golds ever, that's cool, but must we dwell on every single moment? And what was up with the panda porn segment last night? OK, end of rant. I'm actually enjoying it all. They showed a lot of fencing, even in the ads, so I'm happier about this coverage than in years past.
Here's an article from a few weeks ago that I meant to post. I keep meaning to look up maoer bao bei.

Getting kicks, hits
Jiang Lu Xia
On a lark a year ago, Jiang Lu Xia posted a video demonstrating her skills in wushu, China's traditional martial arts form. Since then, the 22-year-old's videos have drawn hundreds of millions of views on sites like 56.com and Tudou.
Known online as Maoer bao bei, which means "precious kitten," Jiang has become a minor celebrity in China, known for her trademark cat-shaped, sharp-eared pendant she wears that doubles as a weapon. Most of her 3- or 4-minute clips are set to songs like Mariah Carey's "Hero" and feature the petite, toned athlete as she kicks, punches, performs acrobatic flips, teaches self-defense moves and demonstrates different weapons, sometimes in a dorm room sandwiched between two bunk beds.
Jiang said she hopes to draw more people to wushu through her videos.
"I want everyone to know that wushu is not as mysterious as people think, and that it's not hard to learn," she said. "I want people to be interested in wushu, and I want them to realize that wushu can be part of their daily life."

Well actually, good track shoes do make a bit of difference; but not on the level of the speed suits.
I haven't tried one yet, but my coach was describing her experience in one and it sounded like a powerlifting suit - 15 to 20 min to pull on, skin tight.
I know there's a huge difference between a run of the mill bathing suit and a speedo or a jammer (knee-length speedo). I figure the speed suit's a similar difference in experience.
