OLY OUTPOURINGS
USAIN’S middle name should be lightning. – Justin TO the Gen Y raisers. You haven’t raised young adults but rather grown-up children, and the Olympics confirmed it. – Cal BORAT’S says it all.

us,
that I think our athletes hav dun a good job in London and we all need a deep breath. It’s not that bad – Simmo. JUST saw Sally blow off that interview to go and console 37 y.o. Jamaican . . . if that is not the spirit of the Olympics then I am at a loss. HAVE you noticed ever since Australia had the world’s biggest carbon tax introduced . . . our gold medal tally has dropped dramatically? – Jules BICYCLE Kevin, if u wanna criticise the Aussie athletes, start with Anna Meares in the keiren. And what about Cadel Evans? Aussie cyclists = major failure. – KLM JUST to be representing your country is an achievement in itself, to win a medal is a bonus – to all the couch potatoes bagging the Olympians, you should be ashamed of yourselves. – Bernie WHAT, no mention of the Kiwis in the medal tally table? I wonder why? Or is that a stupid question? – Jenny Mc WHY is NZ medal tally not published? I’m ashamed to be an Australian. We r always making excuses when we r defeated. – Chief THE world’s living standards have improved. The proof that all the hard work western countries have done to improve this is that the competition level is higher. We should rejoice in the outcome of the Olympics. Trish
WHAT’S going on, now our athletes are accepting second best? Not on. Win or go home. – AFL SO THE Kiwis can row at the olympics but I haven’t seen them doing the haka in the boats. Is it just Aussies that have to put up with this rubbish? – CM, Coomera. KIWIS ahead of Aus in the gold medals! Now that is GOLD!!! Kiwis can fly! – Hendy OUR Olympic team is going great with 20 medals at present. The difference in the colour is irrelevant. Japan and Russia, with much bigger populations, are in the same boat as us. IF OUR boys and girls aren’t winning gold then they should quit and get real jobs, the big pack of bludgers. – Jen W equal one-on-one fighting skill, tenacity, endurance and stamina? Justin WELL done USA on your Mars mission making history, with Australia playing a small part. Takes people’s mind off the destruction of this planet, ie Syria, Afghanistan and Iraq. BIG Al, work sites have different people doing different jobs, so if you see people standing around, they could be waiting their turn. You don’t know what you r on about. Were they standing around in 38deg sun, or pelting rain? Are you from an office? Last time I was in an office, there were 43 men and women sitting down at their stations, drinking coffee talking on phones, in the shade. But there’s 50 in the office. The other seven were downstairs smoking. – Dagranddmaster they can pull out whenever it suits them and run cars off the road? Learn the rules! – Ashley, Surfers Paradise. LIVING in North Burleigh is a nightmare with the constant rumble and beat of helicopters thumping backwards and forwards. – Edgy WHEN Allconnex was billing Coast ratepayers 4 water, the GC Council said they had nothing 2 do with it. So why r the GCCC chasing up old Allconnex bills? – Drippo points. But they may not make the final 8. Don’t laugh. Their next 3 games are vs Bulldogs, Storm & Manly Sea Eagles. You need 28pts to make the semis. Bye bye Broncos ’12. – The Ashmore Tiger HOW the bloody hell one really watch
What chance has she and Ten got? What a joke. – Granben
could any HAS anyone heard what happened to Warren the Aussie captured by the Abu Sayyaf in Mindanao, Philippines, early this year? – Bicycle Kev THE arrogant Broncos are now coming back to the field. So many Home Friday games during the season disadvantaged the other NRL teams due to TV scheduling & preferential treatment. The Broncs had 7 days to recover before the next Friday match. Teams like the Cowboys & Manly had gruelling travel commitments to overcome. Let’s go Broncos – out backwards please. – Laurie Keats, Currumbin IS GARFIELD Terrace Australia’s most dangerous road? Hell for cyclists, impossible for drivers, hopeless for walkers. The crossing by the Surf Club is the worst. Walkers never look, just step out. We’ve got to have the Beach Walkway, but I guess we need a fatality to make it happen. DOES our PM think we have just come up the river in a cabbage boat? G20 in Cairns, an event she and Swan will not be attending, and a week’s holiday in Port Douglas. Early next year a conference in Perth and a week in the Margaret River? WHEN are people like the tattooed Mr Lacey going to realise that they discriminate against themselves with their offensive tattoos? – John Mc JUST got my dog rego renewal – $108. Total rip-off. How can the GCCC justify that? – Not happy, Tom TO no-name union hater, once unions go, so will wages and the likes of you and your ilk can pay your workers less. Less money in workers’ pockets, the less they spend in your business. It means you go broke. Kapish? Workers lose homes, can’t afford to eat out, holidays. Everyone loses. Bet you won’t put ‘‘Lib lover’’ on your business front doors. – Rod
