Of course! :thumbup:

 

Two weeks ago I listened to the album Coming Up For Air by Kodaline. I thought I had already listened to it a few months ago but apparently not, and I fell in love with almost all the songs :wub: (+ the ones I already knew and loved)

 

I love the album (I don't think that will be of any surprise to you) :). They played a concert (Christmas Ball) in Dublin last night with a few other artists I like such as All Tvvins. I listened to it on the radio, it was a treat! It's always a great event, last year had Hozier, Little Green Cars, Gavin James, Kodaline. I try to hint every year for someone to by me ticket for it as Christmas present but I guess I'm not trying hard enough :d

That must be an amazing concert! 

Too bad they don't get the hint :(

So we are getting close to Christmas Holidays, and I want to share with you a Portuguese theme from the early 90's that got so popular that nowadays everyone sings it at this time of the year. (I'm sharing here because I would never send this as a TISC entry, but I would like to show it anyways :p)

 

As a curiosity fact, when there are football matches between any of our 3 big teams (Benfica, Porto, Sporting) during this time of the year (from mid-November to December's 25th), the winning team fans sing this song to their rivals to provoke them :p

    • Non-Olympic Athlete, Moment of the Year and Olympic Spirit Award are the ones lacking the most. Paralympic Athlete and Breakthrough also don't have a lot of votes.
    • Do you have or have you ever had an modern ice track?
    • Still no progress in the Italian team: 2x 4th place in men's singles and women's doubles+ a fall in the team relay. Men's doubles and women's singles without any progress for years. What's worse, our women's doubles also significantly lowered their level: without a single podium in the World Cup in this season. As of today, I'm betting on 0 medals in Cortina for us, excluding some miracles on the home track.
    • There is some progress at Barp and Carollo but almost everything is still based on Pellegrino. In the men's we lost a great talent - de Fabiani and Davide Graz - they are at an age where we have a generation gap in these age groups: 1994-2000. In the women's I`m happy with Monsorno's progress in sprints but the last podium WC in the women's category was in... 2011. We wasted 15 years in the women's category and now we are only waking up with 1 year to go until the games in Cortina, when we should have a ready team like Germany (I will skip Scandinavia because of its completely different potential).
    • Italy doesn't exist in women's technical competitions without from Brignone and Goggia - both over 30 age. Unfortunately Bassino has been out of good shipe since from last season in the giant slalom and she is unrecognizable in some competitions. In the case of Goggia I also don't really believe in regular podiums in the giant slalom - she can't have falls and win in the downhill and super-G. The giant slalom is just a bonus.   The Italian women's slalom has basically been non-existent for many years. One Peterlini qualifies for the 30 and doesn't finish half of the competitions. I can't understand how it was possible to lose Colturi in a situation where other Italians have fallen so badly. Unfortunately it's not the Italian federation that should be setting the conditions here but it's Colturi and her mother - a talent on par with Shiffrin at her age. 
    • In relay yes, but we have 8 more from our legend Natalya Yakushenko back in 2008 and earlier
