Very
B r i t i s h sentiment FJJP, I take you are still supporting Henman!
We love;
Tim Henman,
Stirling Moss,
Eddy the Eagle, .
Eric Moussambani, (the slowest swimmer in the history of the Olympic games)
etc (all losers)
We hate;
Michael Schumacher,
Prince Naseem,
Chris Eubank,
Nigel Mansell,
etc (all winners)
Most of you out there had never heard of Sir Steve Redgrave until he was going for his 4th Olympic Gold ! (He was a winner before you knew of him).
"Better to have tried and failed than not to had tried at all". Rule Britannia.
I take it then that FJJP will be contacting the UK History Channel and complaining about such programmes as, 'Biggest Cock Ups in Military History', 'What Went Wrong', 'Hindsight, what can we learn from...?'
I thought not.
Hindsight, check the met!
They taught you well Barry? REALLY? (GE msg board)
Perhaps there is a greater 'silent majority' than the one FJJP refers to, that knew something like this would happen. Dissapointment at a first major hurdle that could be forseen, stopping the show. (Reasonable excuse, expected at EGXDs bars, clubs and NAAFI queues, by the way).
Some of us may have given reasonable sized donations to the GE supported charities on the back of this, and feel mightily let down.
(what did you donate FJJP? Although your opinion is still welcome here if the answer is nothing).

aka, 'that tedious little man'.
