Is that a big insult in China?? I don't see how it can be taken as offence, its pretty much nailed on.

I see it the same as those silly hats with the red hair that they sell in Dublin in the tourist shops. Its what we are seen as, so be it. Doesn't bother me. Its like acting dudmb and pretending to be american or having greasy hair and been italian or not smiling and been Russian.

Maybe I'm missing something.

folks, will the 200m final be streaming live on any sites?

cheers

[Minder]

Sutherland is up 3-0 after 1 round. The Irish boxers are well coached and they seem to know their opponents. Im watching on the BBC website without a problem

[Rossie11]

[Tony Baloney]

[orangeman]
