BOF Posted August 8, 2012 Moderator Share Posted August 8, 2012 I'm not surprised. And seeing Rupp(sp?) come second shows that you don't have to be of East African descent for the longer distances; though it undoubtedly helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted August 8, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted August 8, 2012 Funny looking back at some of the archive footage of the days of the Coe-Ovett-Cram hegemony, and even more so the David Hemery hurdles gold - hardly a black face in sight.

Genie Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 ..A postbox that was painted gold in Jessica Ennis's home city to celebrate her Olympic triumph has been vandalised. Graffiti was daubed on the box in Barkers Pool in Sheffield city centre, which has already become a tourist attraction, within 24 hours of it being painted. A new layer of gold has been applied by a Royal Mail engineer, a Sheffield City Council spokeswoman said. BTW, Thats a hell of a VPL link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drat01 Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Initially the paint had not dried and people were leaning on it and touching it and getting the gold paint on them. Its in one of the busiest areas of Sheffield with a lot of passing "trade" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonLax Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Its not a **** tourist attraction, its a letterbox.. I like the way they call the guy who painted it a "Royal Mail Engineer". It was probably just some kid carrying out his community service order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted August 8, 2012 Moderator Share Posted August 8, 2012 Katie gettin' it done. Into the final where she'll fight someone she has already hammered several times before Her most difficult fight will have been Jonas who; had she been in the other half of the draw; probably would've been Taylor's opponent in the final.
