London 2012 Olympics Thread

[Swifty's Cakes]

Celebrate an institution that dishes out free drugs?
I'm surprised there's not already a thread up in the clinic.

Boyle by name, boil by nature.

What's with french getting top billing?
200 million speak frog.
1 billion have English as first language and half the rest of the world are fairly fluent.

yeah free, unless you've spent a lifetime paying income tax @ 40%, National Insurance@ 9%, then you've got fuel where 80% of the cost is tax. But yeah go on have it your way - brits get drugs for free.

And French is the official language because the IOC was founded by Baron Pierre De Coubertin, a frenchmen.

congtrats on xenophobic post of the day btw.

Lot's of great music comes from Britain. None of which gets played tonight, all music I hear is awful.

Disagree
kinks, stones, beatles, pistols, the specials, underworld, muse and dizzie rascal - thats a great selection of british music. What else would you have had?

Maybe a bit offensive to the Japanese to play Enola Gay by OMD and I could see how the Dambusters march could upset a few Germans.

Half way Anyone spotted any cyclists so far?

 

[Frosty]

Half way

Yeah, beginning to wish i had a fast forward button....

Anyone spotted any cyclists so far?

Brad rang a bell at the start.

Guess most of the roadies will be tucked up in bed by now. 10am start, will be up long before that time.

 

[Swifty's Cakes]

most of the road cyclists will be swerving this, they have an early start tomorrow.

Not male road cyclists, they won't be here.

However, a BMX cyclist was flag wearer for Colombia and a female road cyclist for El Salvador.

Possibly more, but only paying limited attention.

For some reason I had it in my head the RR was on Sunday. A quick change of plan for tomorrow afternoon is in order. Cheers to you and Frosty for the heads up

Didn't like the socialism circle jerk, but the rings & the music was much better than I expected.

Is that you Aiden burley

Ha, saw those tweets too, he's got a little excited.

My personal prediction to provide balance, is that Tree is getting torched later, in a symbolic nod to the last 2 Conservative logos.

I tried to limit it to people where everybody's still alive and well, though I forgot about Rick Wright's passing for which I apologise profusely.

Otherwise I'd have included Joy Division too.

couple of them were played, I didn't list all the bands that were played, just the most well known british bands.

Here come arctic monkeys looking a bit moody.
