I remember my grandmother telling me that. I wonder if you knew her?

@crucial I did know a Nana Crucial. Said her young grandson was a right fluffybunny and a bit of a retard. Ring a bell?

Nah, that would have been her Alzheimer's kicking in. Always mixing me up with my brother.
This was while she was in your rest home right? -

@crucial She did mention their were two brothers but I wanted to give you the benefit of the doubt given how she described the second 'boy'

It's tough being the youngest of three. Always forgotten.

@crucial Nana did say she'd rather forget the youngest. Well I paraphrase "wish the little fucker had never been born" were her actual words.

There will be some tough talking in the wake of this. It is bloody hard though; I recently had someone in a close social group commit suicide. The family knew of the person's struggles but we were all oblivious. In hindsight there were signs. But they are very good at hiding it, and often don't want anyone to know what they are going through. Top level sport is a strain at the best of times, it must be monumental if you are carrying something like mental illness with you

People complain about China or Russia and doping, but can we throw some slander around about Italy?
Come from nowhere in swimming, come from nowhere in athletics, somehow produce the 100m winner... stinks to high heaven if you ask me.

Totally, especially after their committee/doping testers admitted their huge probem on doing testing during the pandemic. Dodgy as fuck

Maybe Dr Ferrari(sic), Lance's old friend is working for the Italian team?

@barbarian Italy has produced a few world class swimmers over the years so nothing out of the ordinary there.

Yeah they’ve been contenders now and then. But the athletics has a whiff of dodgy.
