CC photo #249: Biedermann crammed in between the Faroese at Istanbul 2009
Germany’s Paul Biedermann seated between Mona Simonsen and Pál Joensen of the Faroe Islands, at the Istanbul 2009 European Short Course Championships. Ireland to the left of Birita and then France. Definitely of the perks of big swim meets, that the seating for teams is so cramped, that you get to rub shoulders with the big names :-)

Close call tonight
I’ve been enjoying the ‘WordPress White Screen of Death‘ tonight, which could have meant that I would have to recreate the entire site, maybe even with difficulties salvaging content off the old one. But thanks to Dan & Ben at Dreamhost, it seems to work OK again. Phew … now for some backup routines! -

Aussie WMD relay bonding session ’caused havoc’ just days before London 2012
According to FoxSports, Australia’s much-hyped 4×100 hopefuls – including Olympic rookies James Magnussen, James Roberts and Cameron McEvoy – went out on a mates’ date to watch the latest Batman movie at a cinema, but it turned into a dark night of their own, creating havoc when they returned to the luxury hotel. Prank calls were made to female swimmers trying to sleep and hotel room doors were banged on throughout the night, infuriating team-mates and coaches.
James Roberts has admitted that they were behaving ‘dumb’:
“I know the night, there’s no denying that stuff happened in the hotel, but we’d been out on a movie night. We went and saw the new Batman movie – all the boys together, just hanging out and just being boys, being dumb.
“I’m being truthful. We were just being boys. Just prank calling in the hotel and stuff and door-knocking the girls’ doors, but it was all harmless fun.”
