Going for Gold and Silver

Wishing all the best to the Aussie Olympic team in their quest for Gold, Silver and maybe Bronze.

For the rest of us will just have to be content just to go and buy our Gold and Silver.

Interesting to read that 92.5% of the "Gold" medal is actually Silver, so does that mean Silver is the new Gold?
