I was at Dialysis and missed it, how did the game go?

I know GBR were off to a great start!

Nothing more exciting than watching a man hard at work with a sweeping brush.
Hahaha!

Who mentioned cable?

You do know there's this thing called the internet, right?

We have T.V in each unit for each patient, with our own remotes which you can also call a Dialysis Nurse if needed. You should think about a person who is on dialysis may not be up to watching, which probably never occurred to you. It is not fun believe me when I tell you that, and hope you never have to experience it.

It's on free to air TV in the UK... All the major sporting events are protected and have to be free to watch.

That'll probably change at some point. It's already went from every sport during an Olympics being free to access to just one/two channels showing selection events with the rest being on 'cable'.


The medals fall off the ribbons. Looks like shoddy workmanship. Most embarrassing.

Maybe they're just painted plastic, like the decorations in the Oval Office.

It appears that the clasps are not strong enough to hold the weight of the metal discs, particularly if the person wearing the medal dances. An elementary design error.


Curling: the Swedish team is qualified for the final. πŸ™‚


Congratulations!

The Swiss know a thing or two about skiing:

Congrats. Your male curler had like a 90% success rate with his shots.
