the pathetically dismal state of sport on the wee isle:
1. badminton = dominated by some indonesian who got trounced at the recent olympics
2. table tennis / ping pong = dominated by a gaggle of peopre's lepubrik of wotsit birds, one of whom got trounced at the recent olympics
3. swimming = the entire islet - well almost - are witnessing the spiralling downfall of a bunch of young native's who only perform well against third-world southeast asian countries
4. footy = dominated by third-rate "i was in the same youth squad as the mighty romario, you know / i once played in middlesbrough f.c under-9 team and we were top of the table" foreigners who don't even have a monkey's chance in their respective international sides
5. (field) hockey = dominated by a gaggle of mongolian birds
and now this. an american representing the wee isle at bowling. erm, let me rephrase that sentence: the sole representative to a regional bowling compo. held where else but on the wee isle.
with all due respect to Tim wotsit, but methinks he must be second-rate or he wouldn't even bother donning the colours. would he?
as enscribed by the letter b @ September 11, 2004 12:31 PMforeign "talents" more like it. note the " ".
Remy (martin) is no longer potent. he's languishing in 17th position. or summat. that's yer typical wee islander for you. they just can't keep on going - ie: no mental strength.
nay i'm a tad harsh there. now i remember me bro saying that his popiah business is not doing well either. that may be the reason. but that shouldn't be an excuse to perform poorly.
remember when the wee isle was the bowling powerhouse for a lengthy period of time -> grace young. talk of which, same for squash - peter hill & ma li lian - and hockey - the marten sisters. those were the days.

as blahed by the evil letter b @ September 13, 2004 07:13 AMReally don't know why they have got foreign talent for bowling when our local bowlers are doing just fine. After all, Remy (Martin) is powerful stuff innit? Pardon the pun...
