Paris Olympics 2024

English man is equivalent of Chinese man.

Englandman would therefore be the equivalent of Chinaman. I have never heard of the former not indeed Irelandman, Franceman, Germanyman etc

I've been to the Isle of Man

Where does Scotsman stand? Should the correct term be Scottishman?

Quick quick dream up an angle, a gold in the 8's is worth more than a gold in the singles, cos in terms of efficiency it's 8 medals doled out vs 1, so there's more metal won for buck paid out. Or something...

What? To join in the celebrations?

Back to back, Bronze then Gold. It's GB top of the rower medals right?

Or. Pfft, there were 8 in the boat. It's not the same as doing it by yourself. Anyway, it was the boat that won. Not the rowers.

What’s with the golf coverage on the bbc? Barely seen any over last few days. Was on iplayer when left to take dog out, got back and it’s not on anymore.

Right, not to be a curmudgeon, but these interviews after the event win or lose, "what would your dead grandad/grandmam/etc think..." this hype for personal emotion and crowbarring tears out of these poor people has got to stop. Vultures of misery. Win lose or draw let them take the moment in and express how they want without the guidance. Ghouls.
