How many are Mt Granview sending?

The ladies board slopestyle ladies all seemed quite pretty.

But... but... but surely, she only had the accident because she was wearing a helmet!!     Moguls are mad. People who do them must be too. Or have special knees. Possibly both!

Trying to figure out how I can get as many hockey games as possible. NHK's schedule isn't too bad but I MUST watch Team Canada so looking at employing VPN's and other such trickery to see the games...

I'm a very worried that I might well miss out on coverage of the figure skating, womens ski jump, curling and a few other events like ladies moguls.

 

Anyone any idea where I might be able to watch them here in Japan?

 

:sadface:

 

Did you catch women's moguls tonight?

 

Uemura Aiko made it to the finals, with a 5th place showing.

Other Japan team members will have to try again for their second chance.

I will be waching it live through the net too.

The Sochi website also provides free coverage.

Although I too am doing like TB changing my IP so I can watch the BBC iplayer.

No need to subscribe to anywhere then.

Actually, talking of Mold, I wonder if there are any Mold-ers taking part in the Olympics? Could you ask Dom & Phil, Tubby?

 

;)

 

Hot off the Olympic Mold hotline.....

 

Seems Dave from the South Street chippy will be competing in the Slush Puppy drink off, Old Ethel's grand daughter, will be representing the good people of a Mold as the sweat towel collector of the British athletes and best of all......Owen Daffyd from dalmurchy terrace once saw a video of Shaun White playing in the front window of HMV!!

A Scottish brewery has launched a ‘not for gays' beer in protest at Vladimir Putin’s anti-gay laws, and have even sent a crate to the Russian leader himself.

The limited-edition ‘Hello, My Name is Vladimir’ beer features a Warhol-esque impression of Vladimir Putin wearing make-up on its label and the satirical *not for gays small print across the bottom.

BrewDog, the brewery responsible for creating the ‘protest beer’ included the following description on the labels: “Hello, my name is Vladimir. I am 100 per cent hetero and will pass laws to prove it.

"Drinking me gives you energy, ignorance and dogmatism required to shoot a deer (with your top off) and pass internationally denounced, discriminatory legislation (top optional) before you've even had your caviar breakfast."

James Watt, co-founder of BrewDog said they produced the double IPA 8.2 per cent beer, which went on sale shortly before the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics begins, as a protest against the President's gay laws and to “hold up a mirror to discriminatory legislation signed off by Mr Putin.”

Brewdog have sent a crate of the beer to Vladimir Putin himself

He told The Independent: “We sent a case of beer to the Kremlin, as well as leaving beer at the Russian Consulate in Edinburgh and the Russian Embassy in London. We've not heard anything from Mr Putin, but we expect he’s out petting a leopard somewhere, probably with his top off.”

Mr Watt described the public response to the beer as overwhelmingly positive. "We've had tens of thousands of tweets about it - there is a lot of support for the beer and the cause", he added.

On their website, BrewDog say their core beliefs are: "freedom of expression, freedom of speech and a dogged (no pun intended) passion for doing what we love."

“The sick, twisted legislation brought about in Russia that prevents people from living their true lives is something we didn't want to just sit back and not have an opinion on.

Fifty per cent of beer sales will go to charitable organisations supporting oppressed minorities.

The beer is available online and in BrewDog's have twelve pubs across the UK. Not ones to shy away from controversy, the company also launched a Viagra- laced beer to mark the Royal wedding in 2011, called the Royal Virility Performance.
