Better to be considered posh than ugly.
Once in a blue moon, we entertain UK friends and/or relatives ... after they arrive, it takes me a little while to adjust to their accents, however they might as well be speaking volcan while under liquid influence.

Lol, I was searching for that first interview on youtube of Ryan Lochte, but I ended up empty with some youtube videos removed.
But I saw his original interview and there was no doubt about what he did say.
This is just another one, not the original that I cannot find:

_______
It's just another Olympic game in Rio, but not yet official. ...Like an undercover game of lies and deceptions and frustrations ... all that sort of intoxicated jazz.
_______
Anyway, there are better things to talk about ... till someone comes clean with the truth...

Some great shots from yesterday:

♦ And Brazil vs Canada (Women's Soccer)...Live in Rio: Canada won Bronze (2-1)

The Canada Brazil game was excellent. Captain Canada, Christine Sinclair was awesome as usual. Brazil played so hard, and perhaps deserved better, no medal, they'll need to settle for the big classy vocal hug they received from their native fans.

Oh, now when you just thought that the saga was over: http://www.usatoday.com/story/sport...00/?siteID=je6NUbpObpQ-wCqXrf9GOlmhLB..P3.2EA
The ol' "always two sides to every story" trick ... shades of grey - no, not that one! - disturb many people, so much easier to live in a black hats, white hats world - oh, why isn't everything simple, eh ...

And now I've just read about this: http://www.ctvnews.ca/sports/canadi...e-walk-bronze-after-japanese-appeal-1.3035511
But I did not see what happened, so I cannot comment like the guy from that video said after seeing for himself what happened; and he seems to know the rules very well.

Germany beat Sweden 2-1 to capture woman's soccer gold. Couldn't watch the game, but it looked close on paper. Good for the Germans, who play tough, ranked #2 going in, despite not qualifying for London after achieving bronze in the three prior oly's.
Relays tonight, DeGrasse vs Bolt and company one more time ...

Bolt with ease, Andre nearly came from behind with a super fast finish. What's amazing about this performance, past Bolts legacy, the Japanese were Silver (apparently under review) and even tho the Canadians finished 4th (3rd? under review) they broke a national record with a better time than the famous 1996 Gold medal Canadian team in Atlanta.
DQ, USA. Japan wins Silver, Canada Bronze.

And what do you know...they were talking about the Japanese guy stepping on the line and the possibility of disqualification.
And suddenly it's the US team that has been disqualified for an error on the first relay!
Wow, in relays those things happen. Now Andre has three medals.
