Sewage flows from Games athletes' showers

Olympic sailors have been forced to temporarily abandon the athletes' village in southwest England after sewage came out of their showers.

Australian gold medal hopeful Nathan Outteridge was forced to spend a night in a hotel overnight after the foul-smelling effluent bubbled up into a bathroom area.

"They did a good job and got us out of the village and put us in a hotel and they fixed it overnight.

"It was just a minor drama - it happens," he told AAP.

A number of other sailors were forced to temporarily abandon the village, which is a stone's throw from the Olympic sailing venue in Weymouth.

All have since been allowed back and the problem fully rectified.

Mean while Outteridge, 26, who is hoping to win the 49er skiff class, revealed some of his Olympic Games superstitions - including refusing to cut his hair or beard.

"I'll have a shave just before the competition starts, but the main rule is you don't have a haircut," he continued.

"Sailors generally also don't wear regatta clothing but when it's standard issue you don't have much choice."

He also revealed that it's bad luck to wear green on sailing boats - but was speaking while wearing the green and gold of Australia.

"I guess we don't have a whole lot going for us at the moment!" he joked.

Since you have so much remorse for England and India, which country would be best to host the Olympics?

It has to be in a country where people know how to party, somewhere in South America or Sub-Saharan Africa, the the rest of the world is just too bloody boring.

It appears that were the Indians who learned from the British, now the world is witnessing the British mediocrity... missiles on apartments roofs...the military controlling the crowds....  sewage running on the showers... organizers who cannot tell an Asian team from an African apart.

Have you forgotten that it's the Europeans who civilized you natives in South America and taught you how to party? If they didn't, you would still be shrinking each others' heads and eating your fellow villagers at your dinner parties.

You fake God, you forgot that was Africans who brought party to South America, where do you think the Calypso, Soca, Samba or Salsa came from? Name a country in the Americas whose music doesn't have African roots?

Lucas, this God is real. How else would I be responding to you if I weren't real? Those fake Gods don't have this capability.

 

The Africans were brought to your world long afterwards. First the Europeans had to teach you how to party with firewater. Then he had to make you understand that if you were having a friend for dinner, it didn't mean making soup with the man and eating him.

What Europeans understood as party was the raping of native and African females. That was it.

And you making soup out of your brother and eating him is better?
