TBH, I think Lola has been having a harder time than Smudge, Rachael. Smudgey hasn't actually been sick, as such, whereas your little (or not so) Lola has been ............. so maybe a little poetic justice happening there. How about the badminton fiasco? ?

I think all the budgies are deserving of a treat I didn't see the badminton, what happened? Just watched womens rowing, GBR got gold! ;D

China, Sth Korea (2 teams) and Indonesia all went before the tribunal for match-fixing. Trying to lose in the prelim rounds for an easier draw into the finals. I think China was the original culprit, but don't quote me on that one. China v Sth Korea was the first where it happened and so very obvious, both teams reprimanded by the umpire and told they would be disqualified if they didn't play to win. Not sure where it all stands now - I don't normally follow the badminton!

Doesn't United Kindom have 8 gold? Or is Great Britain the United Kingdom? Nicola P.S. As you may have realized, I am soooooo terrible at Geography!

it's pretty much the same thing, certainly for the purposes of the olympics en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Kingdomquote "The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (commonly known as the United Kingdom (UK) or Britain) is a sovereign state located off the north-western coast of continental Europe. The country includes the island of Great Britain, the north-eastern part of the island of Ireland and many smaller islands. Northern Ireland is the only part of the UK that shares a land border with another sovereign state—the Republic of Ireland. Apart from this land border the UK is surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean, the North Sea, the English Channel and the Irish Sea."

Latest results. Elfie has 1! Woooo! ;D ;D Smudge 28 Sky 1 Munchy 5 Boo 16 Lilek 3 Lola 27 So the top three so far are: Smudge: 28 Lola: 27 Boo: 16 I have just realised that I forgot to add to the sponsor information that Northern Parrots is unable to send the prize outside of the U.K. They are being very generous sponsoring us but the postage for other countries would be too expensive sorry. Still its the taking part that counts ;D If the budgie that wins is non-uk then the prize will go to the budgie with the next most gold medals that lives in the U.K. I hope everyone is okay with this x

Rachael, do you think that Northern Parrots would be open to the forum paying the excess cost via paypal to them if the winner is not in the UK?
Could you ask?
