The '2012 London Olympics' Thread

[Champ]

Shed that stern, short-haired Edinburgh reserve and get a bit of Hanoverian loopiness about you, my good woman!

 

Do you not fancy doing the Lambeth walk with us later, Oi..!!???

Or better still...

 

Sadly won't get on here much tonight

[s(k)aturation]

I don't want to watch the closing ceremony! Gonna feel like the 2nd January tomorrow, and it is going to be a long week.

 

It has been an amazing two weeks, and hopefully a socially significant two weeks as well, it could very well ruin Scottish Independance which is great for Labour and the Libs and great for the country, it has highlighted our pride in being British and destroyed the myth that Immigrants don't feel British, it has demonstrated our love for the NHS which has fucked the Tories, it has proved that winning is nothing to be ashamed of and that there are genuine role models for our children, role models who espouse hard work, dedication and ambition who prove there is more to life than celebrity and riches. As a rule I don't feel English but these past two weeks I have been proud to be British.

 

And so, so many women who I would absolutely ruin!

 

I can actually hear "God Save the Queen" playing under your post, "Ronnie".

 

Especially, the last sentence.

(Although perhaps it might flip to the Pistols version for that.)

Spoiler for the closing ceremony

[Trumo]

Back from Italy today, and fucking hell what a difference in the coverage! Of course with the games being based in London you'd expect massive coverage in the UK, and in other countries you'd expect them to focus on their own competitors, but the Italians were so obviously deficient in the sports that actually matter, that Rai TV were reduced to showing clips of their fencing champion and talk about their 50km walking medal hope who got banned for testing positive. The Wifi out there is also quite shit so I've missed what looks like a stunning week of sport. Yes you want to get away from it all but it would be nice to keep up with it in some way at least.

Who's narrating this on BBC 1 ? Sounds like Tom Baker.

Eddie Butler according to Twitter.

[Faustus]

Yeah, it was Eddie Butler. Boss voice on him.

[Champ]

Great voice for these pieces

[Dougie Do'ins]

Emotional stuff ain't it ?

[gumps]

These pieces are brilliant! Could watch them all night.

[Rafiagra]

Been amazing. Makes you realise what spoiled twats most f***y players are.

 

I really hope the BBC start showing more of the sports. I've enjoyed watching stuff like volleyball and archery. This could be their chance to step out of Sky's shadow, even if it's just a little bit.

[lifetime fan]

That decision gets worse every time you see it.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Yeh, Eddie Butler's voice does these pieces justice.

[Champ]

That decision gets worse every time you see it.

The boxing?

[Guest Pistonbroke]

In a way i feel privileged to have witnessed these games.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Mo, humble as ever, what a guy. Apart from his taste of music, looking forward to the Spice Girls, fuck me.

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

I'm on an actual downer watching this review montage. I wasn't sceptical, I was really looking forward to the games, but the whole 2 weeks even blew my expectations out of the water.

 

I'm really going to miss the Olympics. A big, fuck off, well done to all involved. You've done yourself and your country proud.

[Teflon Don]

Emeli Sande still can't sing, then.

Whoever she is, nope.

Maybe he's been offered a blow job from them all.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Wonder if these artists are getting money for this or if it's all voluntary.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Maybe he's been offered a blow job from them all.

 

I dare say he'd get one if he asked.

[Teflon Don]

In that Telegraph article that was posted earlier by Phoenix, it said all the performers get a nominal £1 for appearing.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Surely there should be dog turd and empty crisp packets somewhere, a few homeless in shop doors or park benches.

Cheers mate, good work if you can get it eh.
