I'm more surprised by the rather random looking Zanzibar of your neighbours :d Plus I'm surprised at the Maldives being that high :yikes:

 

Oh and obviously the 12 points from Cyprus go to...... :p

Tried to read another Games Bids Ceremony thread. This time for London 2012. I couldn’t even make it to the rings reveal because of how toxic that thread was. Someone literally wrote “I’m bored” midway through Pandemonium ?

How can anyone in Albania afford to travel to Qatar?

Going through nearly 6000 opening ceremony posts on the main Dutch forum (only place I was active at the time) was a bit much, but a quick scan did reveal a post of myself saying something like "finally" and judging by the surrounding posts, that must (not surprisingly) have been when the parade of nations started :d

by the way, there's no chance Maldives is the main vacation destination for Italy (even as a dream destination...here all the people below 45/50 dream about Ibiza and/or Mykonos...:p...those over 50, instead, normally dream about staying at home without their sons/daughters trolling around and their boss harassing them :whistle:)...

 

we usually go to Spain, Greece and/or Croatia mainly...most Italians can't even afford to go to Maldives...even in offseason (especially now, after the covid-19 disaster, with many people losing their job or having their salary partially cut)...

Ah, like the infamous 'Morocco Maffia' we have here....one of the big leaders of which was arrested late last year (finally) in....Dubai :p 

 

I know, not Qatar, but close enough, sort of :d

    • Unfortunate, but it doesn't change the fact that I'm looking forward to Thursday evening, when the team captain's meeting is over and we have our very first World Cup start list of the season. Always a cool moment to see who's there and everything  
    • Today I unpacked some of the boxes in which we have put my way too many books to move to our house, and I came across these beauty's I hadn't seen for a while     Absolutely recommended, tough to get for a decent price, but they are such an interesting read with lots of very interesting little stories! Still looking for at least 1900, 1904 and 1906, but not really in the right moment to spend money on that now, so the wait goes on  
    • Which I guess is part of why unfortunately 'our' first wild card attempt of the season was rejected last week  
    • The next chapter in the Krasnobaeva saga is upon us.   Looks like  Armenia have cut ties with her after only a few weeks. A person from their Federation has said, that they won't continue the relationship, because of her unprofessional and rude attitude towards the coaches and other officials. That includes: - having no respect to the coaches and their advise; - training without any motivation; - stops doing the routine and throws objects without any reason; - just lays on the floor and ignores the music.   When this was escalated with her mother, she mentioned that "Elvira has a strong temper and she was the same in Bulgaria and they tolerated her". Which of course is complete BS. If anyone attempted this shit here, they would be thrown out immediately.   And now  are wanting from her mother to return all finances they gave them, which she is refusing, so they will probably sue them. They will also inform other RG Federations about this situation, so they don't hire them.   My 2 cents on this is most likely Krasnobaeva was happy in BG and was forced out by her mother, so now she is sabotaging the move and be done with it.
    • Honestly Ruka is my favourite World Cup event of the whole season. Everybody is there. Later on there is always someone who skips one weekend or another . Not everybody takes part in Tour de ski. But here everyone shows up.
