Okay. It's more than one (in fact they're registered as a political party), but only one is ever mentioned.

Not really. One stupid person with more or less neo-nazi tendencies threw the Quran around (and has burned several of them in the past). This provoked quite a lot of people who has tried attacking him, but were stopped by the police who has even said that he can't demonstrate due to safety. Rather sad that he gets this kind of help from people just can't ignore him or even better laugh at him.

Not quite the same night (I btw meant 25 of the drinks mentioned, not belikin)

Think I've tried 25 of those or so

Comparing the pyramids with Notre Dame is rather interesting. Historic buildings are rebuilt or repaired all the time, this isn't much different.

The historic value will without doubt be smaller without the historic roof, but really people mainly knows the towers...

That would be the last goodbye to Coubertin's ideas...

JAPAN Representing Japan at the Festival of Music: Kikagaku Moyo - Majupose

Stupid people writing stupid things happens everywhere...

Well. 3 of the most talented Swedish artists came out with new music last year, but Sweden has been taken. I'll go with for now

In theory a few Danish quotas could be added for swimming, but as Denmark will most likely only a few events for the national qualification, I will not add these.

Wait... People here have jobs? How do you get so much time for sports?

But bets are on... What Danish rider will be 2nd in his first Ronde next year?

And wasn't supposed to be there

Asgreen!

Got the time for a quick listen-through which made some changes. Votes are hereby sent.

Just made my first rankings. Would like to go through it once more before sending, but if I don't find the time, I have something to send.

Got a solo picture from the run in the turn before starting the climb up the roof. Was a bit afraid of that turn, but it was surprisingly easy.

If things work out with the 12k, a half marathon next year would without doubt be my next target.

I'll start with my own race yesterday (thought it would be better to have it here than the Athletics discussion thread): The closest to a picture of my run is this (at least for now). It's me in red in the back of the group just before starting up the roof. Considering that my 3k record is 13,36, 10,51 on 2k doesn't sound impressive, but I feel 90 % satisfied. it would be safe to say that about 30 seconds was lost on the roof where I lacked a bit of mental strength to get me all the way up running. Walked for a short bit but was cheered on to get running again by the Scotts at the top. Other than the roof, I was rather surprise by how easy it was. The water pit was no problem at all and the mud was pretty fine as well. The only mistake other than the roof would be going a bit too fast on one of the declines, which may have wasted a bit too much energy that I could have used on the roof. Maybe I also wasted a bit of energy and time showing off, even "fighting" the vikings in the bend. Overall I'm decently satisfied but would love to try the route again in a year with a sub-10 time as the target. In general a very fine event with some great support and a route that was even tougher than expected, which was pretty clear when you saw the elite runners. Sadly I couldn't enjoy the elite races as much as I would have liked, as I was pretty focused on my own run. Next up for me is a run in late august, where I'm aiming for a 12k. It's gonna be tough considering that I've never done more than 5½, but I believe in it.

Well. We're all sports fans, but how about your own "sports careers". Thought it would be fine with a thread for telling about what you're doing to stay fit or even competing at a high level.

Oh yeah. That lovely symbolic hour making us all feel so much better while destroying the world the other 8759 hours of the year. I know it's part of a bigger movement, but several places it does feel more like "look at me, I'm doing something".

Personally I didn't feel that the 2012 game was that much button-mashing. No doubt that they aren't the greatest of games, but compared to the first ones, it was pretty decent.
