After throwing eight badminton players out of the Olympics for not trying, the IOC have been accused of double standards after allowing the entire Australian team to stay
I have neither the time nor the crayons to explain why you are wrong.

Last Hussar,

I think you are too hard, sir, both on the Australians and the IOC. It wasn't that they didn't try, it was that they weren't good enough!!!!  :d :d :d

Have you any idea how hard it is trying to hide these threads from my Australian wife...
If I were creating Pendraken I wouldn't mess about with Romans and  Mongols  I would have started with Centurions , eight o'clock, Day One!

Or should we have saved this one up for next Friday's visit to the bar ?

Aussie's have climbed above NZ :(

However, we did win all our golds sitting down, so imagine how many we would have got in the standing up events? :D
