Watching the replay of the long line of countries now. The lights and choreography was great not to mention the fireworks. :o The largest Olympics ever held.

What a joke......

not only do we have to suffer 4 odd hours of complete and utter drivel that is in no way related to sport, we also have to suffer over 16 hours of BBC1 being devoted to sport every day......

Never fear Chums...

Fozzer's Holiday Flight to N32 in the Constellation of Alpha Centauri for the duration of the Olympic Games is already active.

Book your seats here to avoid the rush.

Note: The flight if free to all escapees from the Dreaded Olympic Games.

All expenses covered.

The return flight will be arranged as soon the process is all over. (Unless you decide that N32 is a more desirable place to stay?)*

Paul.... ;)... ;)... ;)...!

* That way you can avoid the Dreaded London Olympic Games... [smiley=thumbsup.gif]...!

Note: N32 is surrounded by a magnetic shield to prevent Radio and Television reception.

Beer is free, and the resident females have four of everything desirable.... [smiley=2vrolijk_08.gif]...!

Sorry but real athletes compete in the winter games.
This is just an excuse for a bunch of people to go out and get a tan.

Looks great so far. I was up until 5am just watching events lol.


I love how even the BBC presenters say that the olympics take part every 4 years when infact it is now every 2.

2000- Sydney
2002- Salt Lake
2004- Athens
2006-Turin
2008- Beijing

Hehe.


I can't wait for the diving and the 50m shooting. BMX should be good too.
