Not sure if I will log in during this year, so I may as well do it now.

 

Happy New Year to each and every Totallympian. :cheer: May we all have a great year and very enjoyable Summer Olympics (even for @phelps' standards :old:).

I know it’s New Years Eve since our local Sheriff’s office put out PSA telling people not fire their guns straight into the air, since the bullets will come back down and hurt people :facepalm:

 

he should make a trip to some Italian cities (especially in the south of Italy or in the big northern cities with a lot of people with southern heritage)...:lol::facepalm:

 

here it's just 9 p.m. and I could already hear at least a couple of "bombs" (I mean, those are not true fireworks, they are really homemade bombs)...

 

I imagine what's gonna happen in the next 3 hours or so...:yikes:

Yes, but it’s more the fact that we constantly have to remind people not shoot guns straight into the air, into hurricanes (to quote “blow it back to Europe”), etc. that’s really just insane.

People generally say one of two things:

 

- Gelukkig nieuwjaar (happy new year)

- Beste wensen (best wishes) 

 

The second one is a bit more formal.

    • 2 things...   first, for what concerns the cooperation between inline skating and speedskating federations...sorry to disppoint some of you, but there's a great cooperation between them   the point is that many "summer" skaters just don't want to try the ice because they have too much to give up for that   you name places like Collalbo or Baselga, but for the "summer skating" guys from centeral and southern regions it's not an option, it's not that they make it for a living with those disciplines, they have to focus on their studies and build a post-competitive sport career and they just can't place themselves into a hole in the mountains when they maybe are studying in some prestigious universities in the big cities   as I already posted more than once, the idea of covering one of those tracks in the mountains was something idiotic, a political concession impossible to be sustained   the one and only chance to build a true legacy and an efficient, attractive national training center was to build a permanent indoor oval in Milan, beside the Forum   that would have given all the "summer skaters" a true opportunity to try the ice experience and at the same time find the most useful, attractive, prestigious places to continue their studies and try and manage them together with their sports career   any other place wouldn't stand a chance   second...don't give Salvini any credit he doesn't deserve...actually, I think he doesn't even know that in Cortina there's a sliding sports track    it's not thanks to him that the Cortina track's building finally went underway
