Magere Hein 1,397 Posted July 21, 2012 I think it's touch and go as to whether it will be a Barcelona or a Sydney or a Montreal or an Atlanta... Considering the British talent for major cock-ups I expect a Munich or Montreal, or possibly both. regards, Hein 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paul Bearer 5,685 Posted July 21, 2012 I'm sure it'll all go smoothly. The press are picking on 2-3 fuck ups, but not bothering to mention the building works in the last 6 years, the stadiums that have been built etc etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bibliogryphon 8,662 Posted July 25, 2012 I got tickets for the football at Wembley South Korea vs Gabon,fucking brilliant,I'd rather have my arse rubbed with a brick Sympathy - Zero Surely this was a potential outcome when you bid for them! You do realise that if people who know you have read this and see you at the match - they will turn up at your house with a brick 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

the_engineer 1,405 Posted July 28, 2012 I thought it was a great opening ceremony and a nice touch having bradley wiggins open it too. Just hope we mange to finish in the top 5 Olympics medal table otherwise it will be a little embarrassing after a such a great opening . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

philheybrookbay 439 Posted July 28, 2012 Stats wise Guest probably a few across the world...... I have to say events of last night brought a tear to my eye. But I did jam my finger in the door of pub cellar! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
themaninblack 2,112 Posted July 28, 2012 Sounds like McCartney was planning to mime it until his backing track was started out of time... That's the second major cock-up in a global occasion after Live Aid in 1985. Lennon must have some influence up there... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BadEgg 38 Posted July 28, 2012 Watching the opening ceremony just showed that 3 contenders are IMO all looking the worse for wear - Phil the Greek,Muhammed Ali and Paul McCartney Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lard Bazaar 3,687 Posted July 28, 2012 I had no intention of watching this, but glad I did, or else I would have missed that bloke giving the Nazi salute when the German team came on. Nothing of the next two weeks will surpass that, so I have no need to watch any more. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Magere Hein 1,397 Posted July 30, 2012 Complete and utter dickheads. I saw footage of some men in camouflage gear (which didn't) sitting in the gallery at the women's gymnastics event. I don't know if they'd been ordered to watch, but they didn't anyway and were amusing themselves with mobile telephones and each other. I suppose it's hard to find people who actually want to watch. If there are any. regards, Hein Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When I read his comment I presumed he would be the usual old, gray haired Tory. When I saw his picture, I realised he was just a jumped up twat. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
