I do like writing little poems, but grammar isn't my strongest suit. So I just try to keep it simple and as entertaining as possible.<br />But of course, now that you said that, I'm starting to feel my head swelling, and didn't Shakespeare also have a slow start? ;)Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-7323268386065270542010-02-23T14:37:16.454-05:002010-02-23T14:37:16.454-05:00hi Bruce...yes this own the podium nonsense is som...hi Bruce...yes this own the podium nonsense is something the Conservatives could have come up with. Just like they're trying to define us as a Warrior Nation. As you know I'm proud of this country and I like to think we're pretty tough. I mean we have to be to live in the Great White North eh?<br />But that ridiculous slogan, and the fact that we didn't allow others to train with us is taking things too far.<br />How about Portage to the Podium? It's a long haul, it's mostly uphill, but we will get there one day..and we WILL have fun... :)Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-65126283129713145102010-02-23T12:56:44.011-05:002010-02-23T12:56:44.011-05:00Dear Simon, I just love the way you write.

Conservative, as though if you say it, it's true. It sounds like the spawn of Steve, one of those high-flying, dreamy ideas that could never possibly go wrong because you thought of it, right? <br /><br />Obviously the Olympics are about competition, but there's nothing wrong with being a good host nation and providing an opportunity for everyone to compete and have a good time. <br /><br />Another one of those bright Conservative ideas that turned out be yet another lead balloon, let them take all the credit they want for it and wear the tin medal.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
