  1. Just reminded elsewhere: top 6 in the Worlds this year is an automatic first-tranche Olympic Qual, so that is the target.
  2. Think it is mentally difficult for the two teams with the Olympic place guaranteed and the pressure off, whereas everyone else is absolutely playing at 110%. I'm sure things will be better once they get to Milan.
  3. Bronze for the curling lassies! Things looking good for the Olympic Q, they look like a stable, settled team at last.
  4. play their best, but only get 1, so get bronze 6-4!
  5. Oh dear, once again a 50% shot from Constantini when she needed 100%. blank the end & go into the 10th with the Hammer of Thor.
  6. Very quick end & get 2 back to 6=3, but have the hammer in ninth....
  7. Do not know what the donne were thinking there, but they left an easy double take-out for 3 & 6-1 after eight.
  8. Looking good for the lassies - 3-1 up, 7th end & the hammer. And a great triumph for the BBC - have been showing our games all week & now they miss the medal match.
  9. Phew, Men will play.for Gold, Women will play.for Bronze. Vital to keep World Rankings high at this stage in the Olympic cycle. Women have been.a bit.inconsistent but looks like they are finding a balance.
  10. Tense men's semi but 10 8 after 11. made a 3 in the 10th!

  21. On the Ski Classics Tour they are doing that every weekend for about three months!
  22. MId-1962. Almost all the Jews were driven out in a few days, even though they had been living there since Classical, pre-Muslim times. Perhaps our friend could give us details of of any current Algerian plans to welcome them back, restore their property, guarantee their safety etc etc?
  23. Or better, perhaps he'd like to tell us what happened to the 140,000 Jews who were living in Algeria in 1960, as against the 200 who live there now?
