The Fucking 2024 Olympics
harrymcnallysblueandwhitearmy replied to harrymcnallysblueandwhitearmy's topic in DeathList extra-curricular
Correct. I do have the cornucopia of Firestick-dodgy, but even on that, Disc+ needs a sign-in I can't use so I'm down two the two BBCs and two Eurosports. I don't crave Olympics enough to pay an extra penny -

India needs all the help it can get. It must be by far the world’s worst medals per capita country. Apart from the 60-odd countries that have never won one, of course. The most populous of which is Bangladesh, who might have a chance if cricket ever gets in. -

I recognise that I’m far from being a casual sports viewer and that my ‘needs’ are less likely to be accommodated. I like long, slow sports - I’ll happily watch a whole road bike race/tour, a day (or 5) of test cricket and a full round of golf, but I can see why people in this busy old life prefer to get their fixes in smaller doses. I like those real-time documentaries the BBC did too, the sleigh, narrowboat and bus journeys. -

I’d quite like to have the final round of the golf on one device all day, but I doubt that’ll be an option on either Eurosport or BBC. Even though I’m not sure it should be an Olympic sport, I hope Tommy Fleetwood and his unfortunate hairstyle gets a medal. I wonder which sports will never be included. Cricket and American football spring to mind. -
Missing In Action

I uploaded a couple of her songs to Smule last year. Sadly not many takers since then, but I did my small bit. I’d probably liken her to Hank Williams rather than the ‘female Dylan’ she gets tagged with. Maybe she hung around for a year and then went off in that UFO with Jim Sullivan. -

Athletics gold for both Dominica and St Lucia, neither of which had won any Olympic medals in any sport before. Go minnows! -
Sir Geoffrey Boycott
harrymcnallysblueandwhitearmy replied to Kiss of Death's topic in DeathList Forum
The great umpire in the sky will have to raise the finger to uphold the appeal; I can’t see Geoffrey walking. Even then, there’ll be a shake of the head as he trudges off, followed by a whinge about a poor decision as he climbs the pavilion steps one last time. For now, he remains in the corridor of uncertainty. -
A rare chance to hear it again following Cheptugei’s 10,000m gold. Maybe they’ve added a couple more verses by now.

Without Johnson it’d be like watching Loose Women. Presumably. Obviously, I’ve never actually watched Loose Women. -
Dammit, I love watching that announcement at least three times a day.

Yes, I realise people aren’t generally as sports-obsessed as me (I’m afraid I watched virtually the whole Tour de France live, what a marathon). Of course I’m happy when GB does well, but I prefer my coverage a little more even-handed, which Eurosport usually manages. Having the option of both is good. -

They love doing that “as live” shit, the mendacious cunts. If it wasn’t for the HD quality images, I wouldn’t waste a second watching the ultra-jingoistic BBC coverage. I’m happy to get my flag-waving here instead. If they could get some money back off Huw Edwards, they could afford Michael Johnson to bring some gravity to the inevitably hysterical athletics punditry that’s about to begin. -

Judging by their post-race interview, I’d say it’s on the cards. The Fucking BBC didn’t even have the decency to show the Teddy Riner (French poster boy) judo final live. Eurosport did, of course. But not in HD (for me). -

Like many many other people, I’ll never click on Jimmy Carter. Not even when he dies. Especially not when he dies. -

I'm glad I started this Fucking thread now. Takes the mind off the rest of the world news for a little while. -

Supposed to be thunderstorms this evening , which could make beach volleyball interesting. -

Gold for Kent - Chatham to be precise. He probably learned his craft by shooting pikey burglars from Strood. I say that as a mildly proud Kent adoptee. I’m surprised my landlord didn’t qualify; he’d love to shoot a migrant or ten if he got the chance. -

Well, it was more trouble than it was worth to keep America, so that was a tactical loss. Willie the Conk was born in... Sutton Coldfield, wasn't it? -

Nothing better than barging a Fucking Frog out of the Fucking way to win gold. Didn't we barge them out of the way to get the 2012 Olympics too? And win two Fucking world wars etc etc... Cheer up Sinby, mate! -
I worked alongside him in the Rough Trade warehouse for a few weeks in 1988 but don’t remember talking to him. What a useless anecdote, Vinegar Tits would be horrified. I apologise to everyone.

I’d say they both Fucking do, what with Kruse’s inbuilt motor. My game of Baldingeddon is proving tough so far - she pops up with her patronising patter at any given moment. Snowflakes have got Bob Ballard removed from Eurosport's swimming commentary team for a mildly sexist joke, to be replaced by an annoyingly hyperactive American. Other than that it hasn’t been too Fucking bad so far. Hopefully Pidders can win the mountain bike today if he’s gotten over the COVID.
