To be taken in by such an obvious scam is mind-meltingly stupid. Hmmmm... perhaps posters on P2P forums shouldnt be so quick to judge others for being 'taken in by obvious scams' At least he wasn't dumb enough to invest in Lendy or Collateral, eh? People in glass houses should not throw stones

Apparently 24,000 people have signed a petition to get the England Denmark game replayed because the penalty wasn't. Are they the same people who signed a petition to overturn a free and fair vote ?

People in glass houses should not throw stones I know, right? I've happy memories investing 4 figures in the tiniest artworks known to mankind which turned out to have been stolen from the artist, who in any case appears to have lost his works on a regular basis including, one one notable occasion, by accidentally inhaling it (FS microsculptures). Don't talk to me about naive fools

Why did we ever join the EU in the first place?

So to summarize the outcome of the olympics:
- we won more gold medals than the cheating, drug taking commy b*st*rds
- we won more gold medals than the convicts from down south
- we won more than twice as many gold medals as any other EU country
Now that's what I call a Brexit bonus.

Oh dear. I'm 100 miles from being woke but wouldn't just through insults whilst having a debate.

Or another way ... don't. Keep the politics out of it as was the original Olympic intention.

The Canadian Ice hockey team stopped the olympics being amateur back in 88 and the Americans destroyed it completely when they decided to put a dream team into the basketball in 1992 and made a mockery of the whole thing. Personally I think a lot of the sports needs to be taken out, a simple rule should be that if winning olympics gold isn't the pinacle of that sport then the sport shouldn't be at the olympics. All this golden slam rubbish in tennis and golf detracts from what the olympics should be, a celebration of sports that we wouldn't normally take an interest in as a collective.

I was surprise when they were talking about one of the Boxers ( Not ours ) Making money in tournaments, I'd have though it was a disqualification from being an amateur yes I'd remove most of the team sports, and the likes of tennis and golf where they have no pretence of being amateur. and I'm not WOKE or PC by any means but the likes of beach Handball and beach volleyball need to come out until the Uniform regulations move with the times beach handball rules " female athletes to wear bikini bottoms with "a side width" that must be "a maximum of 10 centimeters (3.9 inches)," with a "close fit" and "cut on an upward angle toward the top of the leg." The male beach handball athletes, however, are required to wear shorts that fall 10 centimeters above the kneecap (although they "can be longer") so long as they are "not too baggy." "

When you think of all the fuss there was over formula one grid girls, or darts walk on girls, it makes you wonder what world the Olympic organisers live in.
Is this why we don't see a Saudi ladies beach volleyball team (or are they just expletive deleted not very good)

Nothing wrong with that as far as I can tell.....
