Lakenheath Old Boys

We are all former students at Lakenheath High School and other public schools in East Anglia. We were in school in the 70s and 80s and drank deeply from the well of British culture of those decades - the pints, the telly, and of course the footie!

My Favorite Olympic Moment



Maybe you enjoyed the "Redeem Team," perhaps Nastia's gold was your cuppa, but for me this clip was the best bit of the Beijing Olympics that ended today. Just how do you react to a bad official's decision? If you are Cuban and a Taekwondo expert, the answer appears to be - kick the umpire in the head. Enjoy!

That would be a shame. Kicking the umpire in the head really should be an Olympic sport IMHO.

Yeah, the IOC has been yanking them off YouTube quick like. Try this amateur vid - it's got a pretty good view of it.

The best kungfu action since King Eric at Selhurst Park - wallop!
