FFS there have been plenty of decent bands since Queen FFS and the national anthem by Electric guitar is so ****ing twee

Oh, you are in a good mood tonight

Anyway don`t get me started on the Olympics, although Boris did look the part waving the flag.

The goverment know it's going to be shit, thats why they have gave 2012 a budget so they can say "It wasn't as good as China because we stuck to out budget and care more about money going to coaching etc".

If you'd spent several hours in a Metro, you'd be annoyed too.

LOL - typical british attitude, do it down before we've even started. Let's give ourselves a chance shall we, show some pride.

Mook, totally agree about the music though.

R33_GTS-t · 24th August 2008, 10:11 PM

We made a decent job of the CW games in '02, so 2012 could be good.

Mookistar · 24th August 2008, 10:18 PM

700 miles in two days in a completely stripped out metro. not one inch of sound deadening, and an exhaust over 100db!. 240 motorway miles were on Yoko A048's which hum and drum like a bastard at speed!

still, didn't break down

I'm just waiting to see the tube system collapse...

That's gonna be total chaos. Just thinking "We are sorry there's a slight delay in the 100m finals as the athletes are stuck on the Central line because of a signal failure"

If that happens, it'll be the first time any UK govt project has remained within budget.... I mean these days they are all going 10x over.... this seems to be the accepted norm. £9.4bn really means £94bn.... joy to us taxpayers...

Jason abz · 25th August 2008, 05:50 AM

I must admit watching China`s efforts to close the games then switching to London and watching the celebrations was a bit like dining at The Ritz only to come home and throw on the BBQ for a few friends. It would have been embarressing if that was beamed world wide, was it?
I have a rant about this whole thing though....yet again my hard earned tax going to London. I don`t think the govt. will be happy til we all move to the South East of England. Is the viallge going to turn into another dome? That fanastic labour gift to the whole country???....in London of course.lol

BBQ`s with friends are good, surely you mean`t eating at McDonalds.

Jason abz · 25th August 2008, 05:01 PM

What i mean Hodgie is that if you imagine looking through a television at the show case of organisation , the feeling of money spent, the attention to detail etc of The Ritz then its over to my back yard to witness my BBQ as my effort to compete.
Ok, i know that this isn`t Londons opening ceremony or anything like that but it just looked as if it cost about 50p to put together the whole acceptance party. Lacked the dignity and respect the olympics deserve.
One positive though and this might be just me but i thought Sophie Ellis-Bextors version of...christ forgotten the name of the song now.....was first class and dare i say, even better than the original.

You should have left the 2012 games to the French
