Olympics 2012

[Madbadteacher]

I have other as well, including 1995, but that seemed the best een to mention.

[Mentorred]

I still have my last season ticket before moving to the USA 2003/2004

Heard it was a shambles at Hampden last night.  They played the North Korea national anthem as the South Korean players walked out onto the pitch.

 

Whereby the turned swiftly on their heels and sulked in the depths of Hampden for over an hour delaying kick-off.

 

The crowd obviously didn't know what was going on and when they did emerge they came out to thousands of people booing them.

 

Must have thought they were at Pittodrie.

Flag not anthem

[fatjim]

Plus it was the South Korean flag on the North Korean players' pictures.

 

ST needs to have a word with his source.

[CtS]

ST, I'm starting to have doubts about that rumour you told me.  The one about Andrew having huge ears.

[Tyrant]

Like this?

Stroke of luck really - possible future bird got sent to Londontown for 6 weeks and she invited me down to stay with her.

 

So all my cooking, cleaning & accomodation is sorted 

 

When for?

 

Last session 20:30 on the 6th I think a Super Middle Weight semi is the "big" fight on the card.

Celtic Park move over - despite selling out for the diving, 600 seats at the aquatic centre don't have a view of the top diving board.

[CtS]

Abide with me...made me totes emosh.

 

I usually don't bother with all this opening ceremony pish but have to say I've been reasonably impressed tonight, think they just about pulled it off.

[tmwtm]

I have also been pretty impressed with it.  Introducing all the countries is a bit of a bore but the performance itself was good.  Mr Bean stealing the show!

[glasgow sheep]

More left wing than China and multicultural crap. Well according to a tory mp. I think I like it even more now. Also reckon the yanks must have been a bit bemused by the NHS bit, fucking idiots.

[BigAl]

Started out watching it convinced it would be a pile of shite, but have to say really enjoyed it.

Far from convinced that the bulk of the world would have had a clue what it was all about though. Thought the chosen young athletes lighting the torch was a superb idea and can't believe they managed to keep that a secret in advance.

[Kowalski]

I thought it was really good and I don't normally watch the whole of an opening ceremony.

I thought the Queen "parachuting" into the Olympic Park was quite good.

Agreed.  It was a good mix of legends (Ali, Redgrave, Daley etc...), the young kids, and cretins (Beckham).

 

 

[Kowalski]

So much for Cavendish getting a gold medal, he finished 28th.  GB were never in it today at all. 

 

But Sky channel 466 is very good!

[Madbadteacher]

So just how many golds were we gonna get?

 

That's one off the list 

[Kowalski]

These two Czech birds are stunning! 

[mizer]

This is taking glorious failures to a new level!

[Kowalski]

The women's road race was much better than the men's, we've finally got a medal! (silver)

 

Cavendish came across poorly yesterday - blaming the tactics of other teams!?  I thought it was a race, the other teams are out to beat him!?  What a pile of shite.

 

Radcliffe out of the marathon

Bit of a shitter, that!

I have watched the olympics all day today - cycling was fab, loved the french winning the relay gold in the pool and even found the hockey exciting 

 

My dad's friend's grandson's girlfriend's cousin is competing in the boxing 

 

Gutted I will miss Daley competing in the diving tomorrow when I am at work - could his trunks be any more skimpy 

[TENEMENTFUNSTER]

Been enjoying the badminton. Haven't seen anything else. Except the women's beach volleyball which is obligatory.

I bet he has a tiny cock. Ironic, given that he is a massive cock.

Well done to Ruta meilutyte! What a swim, especially for a 15 year old. Phenomenal.

[glasgow sheep]

Absolutely stunning from heat to semi to final. Seemed utterly dumbfounded by the whole thing, even after her heat win.

 

As an aside how fucking woeful is Linker? How the fuck dud he get chosen to present prime time coverage? Clueless moron. And Thorpe must be on drugs, he looks mental.  On the plus side moorehouse and jamieson are excellent for the swimming commentary.
