Can you peel them to get at the chocolate?

Do you imply that all our athletes are in fact Afro - Caribbeans disguised in various ways?

If so, the swimmer girls nose prosthetic is a work of art.

Oh dear, the Olympic closing ceremony is becoming local  scared2:

Quote
Celebrate the moment London becomes the official Olympic City, and join in with a huge party taking place across the capital.

Southwark is warming up for the 2012 Olympics and will be marking the Olympics handover on Sunday August 24 from 1pm to 5pm. Two large screens will show the official closing ceremony in Beijing, and local residents - and their families and friends – are invited to celebrate the moment London becomes the official Olympic City.

Opening speeches from the Mayor of Southwark and Councillor Robinson will officially welcome the Olympics and Paralympics to Southwark, and pay tribute to Southwark's cultural and sporting diversity as we raise the Olympic flag and begin the countdown to the 2012 Olympics. The Mayor will also unveil Southwark's new portable running track.

 eeek: eeek:

Other events on the day include:

a gymnastic fanfare opening the track

Southwark Community Games athletes representing each community council area
music from local musicians, including African drumming band Kakatsitsi  scared2:

Participants will also have the opportunity to enter prize giveaways on the day, which include £500 of sport vouchers. If you're looking for a fun-filled family day on this bank holiday, come and join us – and get fit and active.

The 2012 Games may be in London but we're multi-cultural innit.

Dunno ~ it's just the sort of response one gets nowadays when you ask such questions.

I like to keep up with trends  whistle:

New embossing
Mondo’s new surface embossing is the result of a careful analysis of a number of patterns, including biomimicry (patterns occurring in nature), geometric and technological. The new MondoTrack texture and tessellation pattern (no overlapping shapes or gaps) is the best solution for functionality, performance and comfort.

Optimal traction and greater area of contact
The irregular size and shape of the tessellation pattern has been designed to provide the best traction between the track and shoes spikes and for a greater area of contact than other track systems. This improves athletes’ grip and performance.

Easy to clean
The irregular tessellation design makes the track surface easy to clean.

Efficient water flow in rainy conditions eliminates water pools
The irregular tessellation design, with its highly efficient water drainage channels, eliminates water pools, ensuring optimal traction in all weather conditions for excellent athletic performance and maximum safety.

Harmonious aesthetic design
The irregular tessellation design provides more harmonious aesthetics than recurring or systematic patterns, which can have dissonant or jarring effects.

There's words in there I've never heard before  eeek:
