Well done, Ozzie.
Alas, living here in the USA, all I got to see was endless beach volleyball for some bizarre reason. Warning - sexist remark coming up - I wouldn't have minded if the women hadn't been so skinny. I know NZ won some medals but I've no idea what for. The only Kiwi I saw on NBC was a guy in the 800m heat who, depsite coming third, didn't even get his name mentioned. I'm going to England to watch the Olympics when they're on in Beijing. It also came as a surprise to be called by my daughter in Waihi wishing me a happy Father's Day. It isn't here. So, in retaliation, I wished her a Happy Labout Day, which it isn't in NZ for another six weeks. -- Cheers - John Mycroft coryton_at_cobbsmill_dot_com |

I must have failed to give enough hints. Oh well...I'll have to think of some new strategies for my birthday. If you keep up the good work Rodney you might be in line for one of these! http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI....tem=5516731807 Rene |

You perhaps can be thankful you missed the boxing John.
I watch boxing once every 4 years, and each time it reminds me what a bent sport it is. IIRC A New Zealander belted the lights out of an Egyptian and lost the match. The worst case of umpiring I've ever had the misfortune of witnessing. On the up side, it was great to see the success of the Iraqi footy team. | I know NZ won some medals but I've no idea what for.

So, in retaliation, I wished her a Happy Labout Day, which it isn't in NZ for another six weeks. ================================================== ==================== Cooey, John: Here are your Kiwi medal winners. (3 Gold 2 Silver) August 27 Men's K1 1000m Silver: Ben Fouhy August 26 Men's Triathlon Gold: Hamish Carter Men's Triathlon Silver: Bevan Dockerty August 22 Women's Individual Pursuit Gold: Sarah Ulmer August 21 Women's Double Sculls Gold: The Evers-Swindell Twins Hopefully we'll see some NZ stamps honouring them. ================================================== == August 2004 - NZ mark Olympics with a 4 "lenticular" stamp release WELLINGTON: New Zealand may not stamp their mark on the coming Athens Games but they have already marked its stamps with an Olympic theme. New Zealand Post claimed a world first yesterday when it released a series of “action replay” stamps which feature great Kiwi Olympic moments. The stamps, produced using a “lenticular” printing process, appear to show movement when they are tilted. Stamp designs: John Walker, Montreal 31 July 1976 - 45c http://secure.nzpost.co.nz/nzstamps/...mpics_45_l.jpg At 300 meters from home and the American Rick Wohlhuter loomed dangerously on Walker's outside shoulder. He couldn't wait any later. He had to go. Walker took off. With 300 metres to go he burst into the lead. The Belgian Ivo Vandamme come at him from the outside, but Walker lunged at the line with all his strength, flinging his arms in the air… Yvette Williams, Helsinki 23 July 1952 - 90c http://secure.nzpost.co.nz/nzstamps/...mpics_90_l.jpg Time came for her fourth jump of the day. She was tired after the long cold waits between each jump. The Olympic record had been broken eight times already. She stepped up to her mark. Knowing this was it. Her event. Her moment. She took off from her mark, sprinting at the pit like never before… Ian Ferguson & Paul MacDonald, Seoul 30 September 1988 - $1.50 http://secure.nzpost.co.nz/nzstamps/...pics_150_l.jpg East Germany, Poland and Hungary closed in. All were capable of winning but it was the final burst of the Russians that was the real heart stopper. The Soviets attacked. But the Kiwis countered, calling on all their strength and experience....Russia, New Zealand....New Zealand, Russia... Peter Snell, Rome 2 September 1960 - $2.00 http://secure.nzpost.co.nz/nzstamps/...pics_200_l.jpg At the 100 metre mark Snell's plan was to make the move. Snell didn't have it in him. Moens had the lead. Moens kept looking over his shoulder to his right. He didn't see Snell coming at him fast on the inside. Snell was strong. With 10 metres to go he closed his eyes and gave it his all. He threw his whole body forward, and… The technology behind action stamps: The effect of movement is created through a special printing process called Lenticular. This effect is achieved by two or more images being printed together, or 'inter-laced', into each other. These are printed around the wrong way on the back of a special lens material. Due to the optics in the lens, your eye is forced to see only a very small area of the lens at a certain angle. So, when you tilt the stamp, the images in the stamp appear to move. Technical Details: Date of Issue: 2 August 2004 Stamp Designer: Saatchi & Saatchi, Wellington, New Zealand Printer: Xtreme Graphics, USA Stamp Size: 45mm x 30mm Sheet Size: 16 stamps and strip of four Perforation: Die cut Period of Sale: Unless stocks are exhausted earlier, these stamps and first day cover will remain on sale until close of business 1 August 2005.
