I stand corrected. Torvil and Dean wasn’t it?

I never knew that GB won the Ice Hockey Gold in 1936.

Who is Bob and why do you want him dead?

It's a movie called " Cool Running " and it's about a Bob riding team of 4 Jamacians. Now after that movie the Jamacians have a 2018 Olympic Bob team.

The DPRK leader sent a note to the ROK leader, via his sister. The gist was, "Let's get together, soon".

Is there a medal for the prettiest cheerleader?

US VP Pence geo-political shenanigans at the Games...

For all of Vice President Mike Pence's efforts to keep North Korea from stealing the show at the Winter Olympics, the images of the two Koreas marching together — and their officials shaking hands — at a time of heightened tensions on the peninsula proved impossible to counteract.

Pence spent the days leading up to Friday's opening ceremonies warning that the North was trying to "hijack the message and imagery of the Olympic Games" with its "propaganda."

But the North was still welcomed with open arms to what South Korean President Moon Jae-in called "Olympic games of peace" and the U.S. appeared to be the one left out in the cold.

Pence sat stone-faced in his seat as Moon and North Koreans officials stood together with much of the stadium to applaud their joint team of athletes. White House officials stressed that Pence had applauded only for the American team, but Asia experts said the vice president's refusal to stand could be seen as disrespectful to the hosts.

Wonder if anyone's done a runner yet? If so, I kind of doubt either Korea would admit it. At least while the games are on.........

They've probably already been warned what will happen to everyone that they ever held deer if they do.

^I'm sure they have - doesn't always stop a determined defector though.

Great way of getting rid of the missus if you're that way inclined.

Did you notice the way the ladies didn't look around, just walking facing slightly downwards, even when going past shops that may have been interesting to get just a peek at?
Intensely indoctrinated.

Must be mind-blowing for them to go from:

this:


to this:


Like night and day.

I mean, they will be able read and understand everything around them, and see a "Korea" that is vastly more advanced and free than their "Korea"... young women who habitually love consumption, may be quite traumatised by the eustress.
