    Cd's are good for donkey's years if you look after them.
    It's a remix with new vocals, not just a replay of the CD.

    Thought she was persona non grata, that she is a non-person in Irish sporting history.

    So did I. George called it out when Britain only one one gold in Atlanta and Ireland won three. I mean... seriously :)

    Raging a Kenyan didn't win this. Bar Ireland's it was the best anthem j heard when David rodishu won.

    Fair play to Ugandan lad. He has a great story to get here and win.
