So who's watching the olympics?

[NozSpark]

Not into the Olympics at all & it's only on because Mrs107 has it on, but the opening stuff looks ok so far, bit like a British history lesson on speed .........................................shame it cost us so frigging much.---------- Post Auto-Merged at 21:47 ---------- Previous post was made at 21:44 ----------

That will be the British politeness letting the French onion eating surrender monkeys go first.

Abide with me..........why I dont know but always brings a tear to my eye.

Sung as bad as Ive ever heard though,

Where was the feeling in it?

 

[M107]

Agree mate..............still My favourite hymn.

I think Tim Berners-Lee came up with the idea of 'Interlinking' computer systems...I may well be wrong as my new best friend Mr Merlot is visiting.

agree totally with the wine guzzling, cheese scoffing , surrender monkeys sentiment. WTF are they taking pole position in the announcements for!!!

Fricking disgrace.

Whilst on the subject of disgrace , did anyone else see the amount of Union Flags which were upside down on the 'Film archive ' shots????

I wonder what the 'copper urns' are for? I can hardly wait!...I suppose it is too much to ask that they are to be formed into a giant collecting pot for people to put donations into to pay for the Security [er how can I put it]

freaking disgraceful state of affairs brought about by an incompetent and yet successful bidder for the total security of the games fiasco!

 

[M107]

At least you know what the extra 1200 troops were pulled in for..............................to catch her Majesty if the chute didnt open...........no reserve at that height.

Belarus...interesting Hats, one size fits all

Bermuda...NOT a good look

Bhutan...ready for bed

getting bored now

 

[SLIPSHOD & SLAPDASH]

I dont think so kerching, (remembering Advanced ICT at college when my attention was elsewhere) computers talking originates from the arpanet ARPANET - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia , think tim found a way to make it fun and useful.

 

[NozSpark]

Sir Tim developed the WWW,,

 

[M107]

ICT in my day it was micro technology................still wish I'd paid more attention

Question

I always thought the Olympics were for amateurs, surely the GB cyclists get paid?

As do a lot of these other stars I suppose.

 

[SLIPSHOD & SLAPDASH]

Oh my, they just said this will go on till midnight ut the kettle on :coat

My understanding is that they are allowed to have sponsorship and be grant/government funded, but being paid is another matter

Yet another con like where GAA players get expenses of about 1k+ a week,!
