London 2012 Olympics

I am born in England but have Vietnamese parents, but I think in English and feel British. I am proud that the games went well, and that it sort of has a touch that is more modern. Dubstep waiting music for example just made it feel like they wanted to be different.

The games cost a lot of money but it may have got money back from whoever turned up, and it did provide people with an opportunity to see some amazing events.

Well, this quickly turned into the "Screw the Olympics" thread.

Fireworks had better be good.

First person to bother singing over Funky Drummer since 1992 just doesn't get the respect she deserves

I'm off.to Gore Vidal at 1035 these commentators are dire.

I have it on good authority we have George Michael will make an appearance.

Is he in the bogs warming up currently?

I can't begin to imagine in what context.

Well, this quickly turned into the "Screw the Olympics" thread.
We need differently segregated threads - Olympics: Aren't the sports awesome (except for football), and Olympics: Isn't the commercialism just sickening.

That's cheered me up no end, just thinking of the ways.

Is that Ricky Gervais singing?

Spice girls I bet, GF said these whores came out

I have it on good authority we have George Michael will make an appearance.

Don't ever credit the press with being good authority please.

Funky Drummer

Read turkey drummers. Want now. Damn you.

He's gonna slam a Jeep Cherokee into the Olympic torch.

I'm retrieving my cat from the top of the cupboard where she bolted a few minutes ago. No coincidence.

I'm sure it would be different if we were in the stadium.

Read turkey drummers. Want now. Damn you.

London 2012 for me is all about:
1: London actually being quiet
2: Britain putting on a good show
3: British cycling
4: Marianne Vos
5: Hockey
6: Mo Farah
7: Jessica Ennis
8: Chad Le Clos
9: David Rudisha
10: Handball
11: Jamaican athletics squad
12: All the volunteers
13: Armed forces
14: BBC
15: The British "Summer"

In no particular order

On the train into work tonight I was considering wearing a union Jack tshirt for the rest of my life, fortunately the closing ceremony has cured that, is anyone else cringing, if they roll Elton John out its going off

I reckon it's going to be McCartney, Ringo Starr, and animatronic George Harrison and Lennon.

By 11 o'clock the trapped athletes will be staging a dirty protest while being harangued by a Kula Shaker jam set.

at least make it the Stones

Crikey. Are the Stones still alive?

Also, female athletes, so much more mature and gracious than their male counterparts and puts the behaviour that's on show in the Premier League and professional football in general to shame.

You realise that because you've posted that Ennis is going to arrive Stella'd up, and get her arse out?

Actually yeah. Dobriskey or whatever her name is... middle-distance runner. After hearing the grunts of many a male it was actually quite refreshing to her an eloquent, strategic break-down of her sport post-race.

Plus.

I'd do her.

Nah, kidding.

Not really.
