Granville Island Lager, Karaoke and an Iced Latte.

Last weeks first working week was christened quite rightly with a night out. Aside from the typical antics, I learnt two things. The first is some beers are deceptive. Even though beer is usually a mans best friend, Granville Island beer is most certainly not. Much akin to Lindeboom and Stella it rapes your wallet and then the following morning makes you feel like you've been fuc*ed by a train.

And then of course once a beer of such force takes hold of you then other things can happen. Like Karaoke. The 2nd lesson of the night was once 10 pints down, don't let 6 girls persuade you that singing Poker Face is a great idea. All in all, I behaved (photos to follow of some of the teams quality dancing in the ilk of this) and much of Saturday is a blur. Apart from one incident with an Iced Latte. I discovered that a night out followed by this wonderful drink, is a new form of colonic irrigation.

The games are only 2 weeks away now, and cypress mountain (http://cypressmountain.com/) got a heavy dump of snow over the weekend! We can see this resort from down town and there were real worries that the events here were going to be moved. Whistler on the other hand is still in pristine shape following 7 metres of snow in November and December with plenty more on the way.

British Olympic hopefull Chemmy Alcott has been talking about her habit for wearing turquoise underwear on race days for good luck, I think JW should send her a pair of these!

And one final note, everyone get their RED SHIRTS on for tonights game. Lets make it 35 years without a trophy for that sorry lot.
