So that's *two* gold medals you'll get without much effort. ;)

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

after all. ;)

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'. ;)

What! Are you coming over? Of course I would love to meet up.

I feel like a fish out of water. Today I was finding excuses not to go
to a race, next year, to do some User testing. Although there was talk
of going to Mercedes MGP to steal a few ideas. That I could live with.

Sadly, no - I thought you were saying that you were coming over here
during the London games.
Flights for us were really cheap during the 2002 games, and we were there
during the games here.

Just started a new contract this week - and new products to learn (and an
old one to refresh my memory on). :)

Oh, no, for my part, I'm perfectly willing to let you have the gold on
this one. ;)

London cabbies are upset at the lane restrictions - apparently there are
lanes being reserved for athletes and other officials for the games, and
it's playing hell with the cabbies' ability to do their jobs.
There was a protest on Tower Bridge today from what I heard - with one
driver even diving off the bridge.

No, I was joking that I'd rather be in SLC during the London Olympics.

I hope that it is a long one. And learning keeps your mind active. (I
hope ;-) )
