Die Wettbewerbe der Beckenschwimmer gehören neben der Leichtathletik zu den starken Säulen der Olympischen Spiele. Insgesamt 35 Goldmedaillen werden in Paris 2024 vergeben, je 17 bei Frauen und Männern sowie eine in der Mixedstaffel.
Along with athletics, the pool swimmers' competitions are one of the mainstays of the Olympic Games. A total of 35 gold medals will be awarded at Paris 2024: 17 each for women and men, plus one in the mixed relay.
In the immediate post 'Deregulation' years, competition was hot in the Wrexham area. Crosville, the incumbent operator suddenly faced onslaughts on many fronts. Chief amongst their oppressors at the time was rapidly expanding local independent, Wright's of Pen-y-Cae.
Whilst Wright's did indeed have their own blue based livery, this second hand MCW bodied Bristol VR from West Midlands PTE certainly wasn't wearing it. A few appropriate stickers were deemed sufficient to identify JOV 722P to prespective passengers.
On the subject of stickers / decals, I'm more than a little amused by those above the windscreen on the Crosville (Wales) Olympian next to the VR as they appear to have a somewhat surreal appearance to them and almost look like they've been added to the photo at a later date!
A competition I am running on my facebook page:
PAPER BUILD COMPETITION!!!!
Its my birthday so to mark the occasion I am launching a new competition :)
Post a picture of your favourite building on www.facebook.com/Popupology (side and front viewpoints required) labelled "paper build" and at the end of every two weeks I will select one to be made into an OA building. If your picture is chosen I will post a finished card to you as a prize!!!
My niece and nephew competed in a dance competition last weekend and took home 20 medals, 4 ribbons, and several team trophy's. They have been dancing since they were 3 and 4 years old and they are now 11 and 13. It's so fun watching them progress over the years!
This image is of my niece and several of her teammates. They had just finished their dance and were all wearing their medals. There was a little time between dances and costume changes and I snapped this fun shot of them. Yes, I'm a proud Auntie!

Apologies for the poor quality photo but my scanner is playing up...
Photos of me from my driving days are pretty scarce so I was chuffed when my mum recently found this photo taken by my dad nearly 30 years ago.
The occasion is the Lorry Driver of the Year local qualifying round held in Manchester on glorious 7th July 1991. Urged to compete by one of my colleagues we took Liverpool Districts pair of large engined Ford Cargo 2424s and narrowly missed qualifying... Although I had been only driving for less than a year I beat my senior colleague. Although it was a fun day it was the only time I took part in the completion.
I have great fondness for this truck... I passed my HGV Test in it in August 1990 when it was just over a week old and was to become its regular driver for the next 7 years until I changed ruins and the Cargo was sold on. There are a couple of photos of it on my photo stream but it also manages to appear in the background of many others....
I later passed it on the M62 in Manchester whilst it was operating still inits later BT grey for a firm in Bury, but it's tax ran out in 2004 and whilst I hope that it is safely took up in a shed somewhere I presume it was chopped up for its Cummins engine.
it's hard to believe wher those 30 years have gone...
