Gold Medal for the IOM

[exmanx]

Probably not very relevant in here, but I am chuffed to say that the Isle of Man won a Gold Medal in the Commonwealth games today. For a small island of 75,000 and only 30miles by 13 this is a great achievement. It's been 20 years since the Island won and it's been long overdue.

Well done the Lycra Lulu's of the IOM cycling team.

Oh, and we beat Australia

Correction: it's been 40 years since their last gold
I think the next logical step for IOM is to be competitive in the Winter games. Get that bobsleigh moving!

[exmanx]

20 Yrs, 40 Yrs - whatever, it's been YEARS!!!! LOL

Hm, Bobsleigh. Wonder where we could get any snow from?

Come on now, you don't need snow. The African athletes practice cross-country skiing on grass... get the idea?

Congrats to the IOM! So Andy, does this mean your gonna crack a beer tonite?

[exmanx]

Beer? Hell no! Maybe a bottle or two of wine. We're civilised over here you know old boy!

Remember that he is still too young to even be thinking about alcohol .
Anyway, congrats for the medal. And of course, if Jamaica can compete in bobsledding, it should be easy for IOMers to do so as well .
