Are you up for some more OIC silliness? Get ready!! Countries with athletes living in the Olympic Village for contenders, sometimes hang a banner from their section of the village. For instance the Canadians hung a Canadian flag, so Canadian, why not a beaver or such. The fun loving Australians hung a fabulous banner of a kangaroo on a green field, in red boxing gloves, taking a puncn at the IOC perhaps. Well IOC responded in fighting mood telling the Aussies that no fun was allowed so Please , no not please just Take It Down . It is still there by the way. I wonder how long before it comes down LOL.
Other news is not nearly as funny, not funny at all. A lawyer in Vancouver bought $5000 worth of ticket for an event ,purchasing them through an Arizona company, E Seats, from where they went to Georgia and then to Honk Kong. Guess what? they were lost in Honk Kong and the lawyer was out of luck. At least he won't have to hire a lawyer if he sues.:>)
Tickets that went for $3100 for 4 hocky tickets , are now being sold on E Bay for $75000 plus the IOC commission which brings the cost up to $82000, surely I must have written that down wrong.....
There are 25000 volunteers serving at the Olympics, several of whom are friends of mine and one whom I saw on TV tonight. And a government cabinet minister who was once an Olymoic silver medalist and is now a volunteer. Nice eh!! Very Canadian LOL
