As for today, over 80 % of Catalans want independence :wacko: this is bad news for Spain. If they lose Catalonia, they should thank their own government. Just a few weeks ago,  the support for independent state was lower than 50%.

 

I hope Noone will die in the aftermath... But I doubt It :cry:

No, 80% of the Catalonians want the independence referendum to happend. But that doesn't mean that they all support independence.

 

To be honest I really think that if the referendum was made, NO will win. It's a feeling we all got here in Spain (even pro independece catalonians, that's why they are making the referendum today, cause it's looking bad for them next elections and they are in danger of losing the power, they had a slight mayority in the catalonia parlament now), but the spanish goverment is just plain stupid and they are using police brutality to stop something it was been seeing as a joke to the rest of the country and raging all spanish people.

 

Like, I'm not from Catalonia, I'm basque (another part of Spain that has battle a lot for independence, sadly know by terrorist group ETA) and I'm pro-Spain but all this bullshit the president and the ministers are doing is really taking my nerves and I'm siding with pro-referendum now.

And the worst part of all is that the goverment is sending extra police to deal with the independence people and it's doing nothing with the people who gathered together a few days ago in Madrid doing the nazi salute and wearing flags and singing the anthem of the former spanish dictator Francisco Franco.

In another hand: i have the theory that the page of the youth south american games have only one person for all the sports, if its one sport "updatings results" the other dont have any updating.....of course, with a delay of almost 15 minutes.

It's hladno piće, but yeah. :d

 

I remember that reference from my high school trip to Prague. Guide told us that one of the previous years couple of girls went to a cafe, but were told that they can't order just drinks (I don't remember why was that). In any case, they stood up and started leaving the cafe when one of them said: "Ne možeš ovdje ni piće naručit" ("You can't even order a drink here"). That sentence caused a lot of commotion among the staff in the cafe. :p

 

In CZ/SK it mean you Hungry c.nts ! :lol:

 

Nice, just found a article about that and noticed even more vulgar and funny CZ/SK word in your language. I mean The word for Rooster ! in our language it mean well the extremely vulgar word for the male reproductive organ  :d

    • I thought that was the case.  I just started watching skimo last year, but even then, I didn't recognize any of the women.  I recognized the top Swiss guy, I think.
    • Puripol Boonson seizes home men's 100m sprint gold after going sub-10 seconds in heats   https://www.olympics.com/en/news/sea-games-athletics-mens-100m-final-results-puripol-boonson   First Southeast Asian to go under ten seconds in the 100 meters.
    • Yes, that and a lot of the main medal contenders  either didn't have teams entered/or fielded B-C teams
    • Write-up on the Gisin story.   Olympic champion Gisin undergoes cervical spine surgery after crash
    • Seriously wish Bialystok will be banned from any European competition and for long time.
    • Unexpected boost for Team .  They are at least going to have a credible excuse if anyone fails any drug tests.     American rapper Snoop Dogg has been named an 'honorary coach' for Team USA at next year's Winter Olympics.   The United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee (USOPC) announced on Thursday the 54-year-old will take on "a volunteer role celebrating and supporting America's athletes off the field of play".   Snoop Dogg named 'honorary coach' for Team US at Winter Olympics - BBC Sport
    • Just now getting around to these results...glad to see USA win a gold.  Didn't think we were much of a contender here.  Home soil luck?
    • Qualification status that could realistically change this week, barring (except where noted) new time qualifying performances :   Men   500m : pretty much done   1000m : pretty much done   1500m : pretty much done   5000m : one outlier at the moment  Semirunniy. He's currently not qualified for the distance being 18/15 in the rankings and R1 time-wise. He could still punch his ticket :    either by getting into the top 15 with a very good result (a podium or even a win would be needed). If it is at the expanse of  Henriksen or, less likely,  Swings, then the loser is out. If it is at the expanse of any other, then  Sasaki is out.  or by hoping Lorello gets into the top 15 at the expanse of Henriksen or Swings. or by going faster than Sasaki (6'08''834) which seems reachable after his 10k, even in Hamar.   10000m : once again Henriksen is on the bubble. If  Maly, Petzold of  Farthofer gets into the top 9 at the expanse of Malfatti or Snellink, then he's out.    Mass-start : not much at stake considering most of the reserve skaters will already receive an additional quota - at the moment    . Morino  will try to enter top 32 and be in those additional quota spots.    Team pursuit : pretty much done   Women   500m : pretty much done   1000m : with  Thorup not cleared to participate one more spot is up for grabs.  Scholz would need to be in front of both Herzog (done as she's not entered) and Czerwonka (7 points) after this final week.  Silaeva would be left out.    1500m : Lamarche not competing and  Zofia Braun being promoted to A division, Poland has got a real shot at a second quota. Braun will need to stay in front of Scholz and Weidemann, who could still finish ahead of her depending on how good Braun fares in A division.  Smedding would suffer from a Polish rise.   3000m : match-up between  Yang and  Horikawa only separated by 3 points. At the moment Yang is out (R2) but if they exchange position in the standings then Horikawa is out (R1). They could also both finish ahead of Hofmann, at the expanse of  Golubeva ultimately.  Jasch has a small shot at a second German quota too, by edging the former two skaters, eliminating them.    5000m : pretty much done   Mass-start :  Santo Rodrigues is hanging on by a thread. The cruelty of it is that those immediately behind her -    - will get an aditional spot anyways, so it does not really matter if they finish in the top 24 ahead of her, except it would allow France to enter a second skater and two girls in the MS.   Team pursuit : three-way asymetrical tie for the last SOQP spot between   and , all in division A. Norway needs to beat both as they can't rely on a time Q, Kazakhstan needs to beat Norway to ensure (if they fail to beat China) the first SOQT spot and avoid the Italian wild-card*, whereas China is pretty safe. *  is currently out but they "only" need to get into a reserve spot to be qualified, which is going faster than 3'00'92 (or faster than Norway if they too decide to skate faster). They were not far off this mark in Hamar earlier this year but the team was in a better shape overall.
