“Will we lose? Of course not”. “Will we lose? Of course not”.   ‘Gandalf the Green’. Continues to send out. A firm message. Of defiance.     First let me talk with this philosopher. What is the cause of thunder? Good my lord, take his offer; go into the house.   I’ll talk a word […]

Nothing, my lord. Nothing. Nothing, my lord. Nothing.     He has been banned. From competing. In the Winter Olympics. After saying.   He would only compete. If he was allowed.
