Oh! No, I just thought it a good idea of yours to go to another 
continent while they are on.
I a contract at Mercedes HPP now. So maybe my favourite sport should be 
F1 racing.

I don't know. It takes years of training to get to Olympic standards. 
And there is plenty of competition from our former colonies. :-P

It's a good thing you've had thousands of years' head start, then. :P

I dunno, I don't think we can compete with the cabbies there in London.  
The news has made it all the way to Utah about your 'militant cabbies'. ;)
