Fred T. Jane Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 Something else the Russians can spend their petrodollars on instead of paying for improved infrastructures, standards of living, and fixing a health program that is a disaster.At least the Army's going to be close by in Abkhazia to keep the Georgians from getting feisty. Like Ivan was going to spend his Petrorubles on that in the first place... [Croatia National Team Manager Slavan] Bilic then went on to explain how Croatia's success can partially be put down to his progressive man-management techniques. "Sometimes I lie in the bed with my players. I go to the room of Vedran Corluka and Luka Modric when I see they have a problem and I lie in bed with them and we talk for 10 minutes." Maybe Capello could try getting through to his players this way too? Although how far he'd get with Joe Cole jumping up and down on the mattress and Rooney demanding to be read his favourite page from The Very Hungry Caterpillar is open to question. --The Guardian's Fiver, 08 September 2008 Attention: In order to obtain maximum enjoyment from your stay at the CCSLC, the reader is advised that the above post may contain large amounts of sarcasm, dry humour, or statements which should not be taken in any true sort of seriousness.

TBGKon Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 Wow I thought it was gonna be Salzburg or maybe Peyong-ChangI have to agree, I had thought Salzburg would have gotten it. Based on the voting, Salzburg was eliminated in Round 1 with the vote as follows:Sochi - 34PyeongChang - 36Salzburg - 25In Round 2, the voting was very close, with Sochi winning by a mere 4 votes:Sochi - 51PyeongChang - 47 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VitaminD Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 Meh. As hard as it is to believe that Russia/USSR has never had a Winter Games, I was pulling for Salzburg. My maternal grandfather's family was from Salzburg, and it would have been that much more incentive to go. I think I have a decent shot at good tickets for Vancouver in 2010, so I may have to redouble efforts to get there instead of seeing the Old Country in 2014. "Start spreading the news... They're leavin' today... Won't get to be a part of it... In old New York..."In order for the Mets' run of 12 losses in 17 games to mean something, the Phillies still had to win 13 of 17.

Sir Donald Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 IMO going into the Session; Salzberg was the safe bet, PC was a gamble given circumstances such as irritable neighbours, and Sochi sat right in the middle.Good Luck to Sochi!Your first task - to release a logo to make the London 2012 Games logo look like it was a good idea!

-Helix- Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 Don't they know the world's gonna end in 2012??Ahhhhhhhhh A believer in the Mayan Calendar.Has anyone ever thought maybe it ends in 2012 because the guy making it died or got tired.Actually I believe the way it works is that the Mayan Calender was seperated into "eras" and 2012 was the end of an era. But it could really mean anything. End of the world is just one theory. Or maybe it's just when the last person with Mayan blood dies and the Mayans are officially died out or something. Or something will happen that changes the world. Jesus, Aliens, who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
