The Olympics

[Snoopy]

Back to the Olympics...

The march of the athletes has been going on for ages. I feel sorry for the the young cheerleaders lining the circuit. They must feel they've been doing their little dance for ever.

They said it was scheduled to last for three and a half hours  Which was why I didn't switch on the TV for it. Mrs S#2 has taken the two boys out for the afternoon and the THW is glued to the front of her boyfriend in the other room.

I shall watch the highlights later on the news...

Wow. Well, just IMHO obviously... absolutely, stunningly, breathtakingly amazing. What a show! Too many highlights really but really stunned by the interpretation of the invention of movable type ~ a few hundred years before Guttenburg, all the Confucian stuff, 2,008 bods in a choreographed demo of tai chi, flying bodies and the final lighting of the torch! Nothing less from the director of Hero and House of the Flying Daggers 

That many countries filing in became tedious but some amusing anecdotes and trivia; if there's any country that can do fireworks it's the Chinese! 

How do we follow that? We don't; we can't; it'll be a different world in four years time and hopefully we'll produce something credible, applaudable and appropriate 

Meanwhile, out with the starting gun 

[Snoopy]

I fear that our attempt will involve some of our "world famous" architects (Rogers & Co), designers (Conran & co) and will end up being done by an imported specialist who will make the whole thing look as though it was built by Lawrence Llewellyn Bowen and Tracy Emin out of MDF and old knickers. I am willing to lay money on it involving some sort of representation of a "London" bus, Beefeaters and old ruins. Mind you the Chinese managed an old ruin or two among their dignitaries.
It will end in tears before bedtime ~ you mark my words.

I see the Team GB medal bid has come off the rails already - it is painful to listen to it on the radio... 

Judo gold medal hope --->>> out
Swimmers in the medley thing --->>> out

They;ve got more than the stadia and opening ceremony to worry about over the next four years...

Chin up chaps! We will win loads of gongs!

For what...?

And rain has stopped play in the Test Match.

Can't wait to see London attempting to outdo the Chinese opening ceremony. Maybe we could have a few public executions

I agree... London buses, Beefeaters, fish 'n chips, etc. Plus ethnics from every corner of the earth of course... 

I'll book my ticket now...

Great. Lets make the 2012 olympics a racial issue.

You have to have 'ethnics' turn up, so they can compete like.

Without them would we have a team?
