What's up with the Aussies?

A spat has broken out between the Aussie Olympic team and Countries apparently doing better than them - including GB. Accusations of bad body odour and drug taking.

My time machine worked.

Sorry pasted wrong link. It seems that other European Countries have joined in now.

Re: What's up with the Aussies?

Bad losers I think but from what I know which isn't that much our athletes value olympics way above any other competition so try much harder and work toward this goal. No cheating just hard work with one aim in sight.

That was true a few years ago but no longer know anyone involved.

Re: What's up with the Aussies?

Well lets be fair, The Germans and the French are still smarting over Brexit.....and the Aussies hate it when Britain do so much better than them.
I say "Well done team GB, you are showing the world just how Great Britain is!"

Re: What's up with the Aussies?

Nothing to do with our leaving the EUSSR, I suppose?

Why haven't the Germans and French done as well as us? Well, the Germans tried it on twice and failed, largely thanks to us, and the Frogs' forte is surrendering anyway.

The Australians? Well, it's simple: they're just not good enough!

Re: What's up with the Aussies?

It's the Brexit feel good factor of course !! That overwhelmng feeling of freedom has put an extra spring in every athlete's step. They are once again playing for GREAT BRITAIN, THE UNITED KINGDOM, not just as a piece of the EU where they will do anything to claim the glory of our wonderful sportspeople's talents. Tough Titty, this is Team GB at it's best. Live with it you sourpusses !!

As for Australia, just take them with a pinch of salt. As my he who must obey often says with a grin....."they are still just p....d off with us for taking the ashes off them"

Maybe our cyclists should ride bikes with octagonal wheels next time ..just to give the others a chance.
