Congratulations to GB Ice Hockey team on their promotion back to the top league

Well done to Team GB.

My knowledge of ice skating is a bit rusty, but I do remember that Torvill and Dean were prominent members of the team a few years ago.

Can you confirm which positions they played at, statts - thanks.

We have half the country needing to use foodbanks to avoid starvation...

...and we are wasting money playing some game on the ice.

Chris played the Maurice Ravel part whilst Jane was a pretty speedy Bolero


Hope this helps

Well it does - thanks.

Who is playing Ravel in the current, recently promoted team?

And Bolero for that matter?

Jonathan Phillips who was playing on the team when I used to attend 20 yrs ago. Played his last game here and has now retired with his Gold medal

Is the Team GB playing uniform still a loose fitting purple top, combined with tight black flared trousers?

[stattointhailand]

I think that was the GB mens rounders kit?

[jackspratt]

No no - it was definitely the Team GB Ice Skating Hockey team.

This was from one of their earlier match winning performances.

I thought I saw that costume last time I was in Nong Khai?
