O/T Eddie the Eagle wannabe?/Winter Olympics

[CAMiller]

Are we in danger of matching our Eurovision exploits at these Winter Olympics?

In all honesty though I never realised how sparse our medal hauls were in the winter games? I took a look back almost 50 years, all the way to when we seemed to be at the forefront of the ice skating events with the likes of Curry, Cousins, Torville and Dean and we typically only get 1-2 medals and have had two 'nil points' events in 1988 (Calgary) and 1988 (Albertville). Flattered to deceive in the last 2 though with 5 medals. Is it time to stop funding these lot who are really just out on the piste?

That’s because those sneaky Europeans pick the events they are good at instead of having good old British winter events like snowballing, defrosting windscreens, gritting drives and building snowmen with giant cocks

Is it the snowman who has the giant cock or are the people building the snowman using their giant cocks? If it's the latter that would certainly deserve a medal in my book considering the cold 'shrinkage' factor.
