    Just been watching the arrival of the people coming to compete.

    My eyes are wet with emotion.

    I rarely support "sports" but this is different. It is not big business or gambling driving this event. It is heart wrenching examples of the human capacity to survive adversity.

    I wish I could send Harry an atta boy. You rose above monarchy. :)

      @CanadianLori I fully agree. If anything is spoiling sport today, its big business and gambling amongst participants.

        @pete I never thought that it might affect the sprirt of those over your side watching the games because he is not really royalty but by your remark, it obviously does. I guess there are inflexible lines between classes and titles over there. I really don't like saying negative things but I think it is petty and small when it comes to events as unique and pride instilling as this, to add a snub to it's tail. I thank you for clarifying this distinction. I did not know this fact.

        Now I shall applaud a little louder for those fellows and the Canucks too. Someone should. :)

        Hi Lori, it was just meant as an observation, no it takes nothing away from the games at all.


        Personally I dont really care if he is royalty or not.:biggrin:
        But he is ginger.
