What a rip off!!!!!

[PD]

glad I've got the BBC so's I can watch, even tho I've paid a fortune for me licence.

I bet the toffs in the dear seats think they are something.... and I wonder how many of them are interested and followers of that particular sport.

Look P, I thought we had already established its not about sport. :lol:

WELL. I am now trully pissied off. Watching the opening ceremony. AND they are announcing everything FIRST in FRENCH. Have we moved. The last time I looked at an atlas we were in Royaume Uni NOT bloody France.......... :nono: :nono: :nono: :nono: :nono: :nono:

tha gets plenty o scraps in Barnsley just for looking twice....dun't need chips.

So that was the opening ceremony for the 30th Olympiad was it.....

Sex Pistols and Arctic Monkees....and a rapper bet the Queen enjoyed it. |Anyway's we watched it all just to see Sir Chris Hoy and Team GB. Not many other lights on in the street at the end, I think we were the only ones.

I think this is down to the fact the Olympic organisation is French.Even though the modern olympics were created by the UK (Much Wenlock in Shropshire) & being hosted by the UK,the French were the original pen pushers for the first international modern games.
Bring back the old ladies' race for a pound of tea! (The only event that women were allowed to take part in first time around)

The games haven't started yet & I can't wait for them to be over.

Agree 100% - wildly hyped up sports day that has been completely taken over by politics and commercialism - 'spirit of the olympics' was lost when the first effort to make profit from it was made - it's been a slippery slope from then on :evil:

Watched the opening ceremony whilst getting pissed on homebrew at my sisters.

On radio this morning they were banging on about Grimethorpe Colliery Band, Artic Monkeys and sex pistols....don't remember any of that. I do recall Paul Mcartney and the coldrum thingy made out of bits of bent copper.

Woke up this morning, switched on the telly for BBC breakfast. Its always nice to see if you can see Suzanna Rieds lovely legs .... :grin: Any way, all changed, now live from Olympic Park. The grinning Chris Hollis talking about a few peeps that have turned up to get ripped off for burgers, chips and coke for the day

Oh great. Borat the drug cheat won the cycling.

Oh great. Borat the drug cheat won the cycling.

Yeah but only cause the GB 'Dream Team' cocked up their strategy . . .or was it really because they suddenly discovered that Cav actually can't climb . . . . Even if it is only a poxy 190 metres (Ok it's a steep 190 meters but even so . . . should have thought that he could have recovered on the looo to do it again).

No doubt Team GB cocked it up, but I would rather someone who didnt have a long and illustrious history of doping had won instead. This is the problem with top level athletics. So many people have been caught taking drugs that you begin to wonder if the people who havent been caught simply havent been caught....yet.
