Its only DAYS away! How exciting!

No this isn't the "Lets bag the Olympics" thread.

Lets face it... the opening ceremony is going to be fanTABULOUS!

That mound at the top.... what do you suppose that will be.

Can anyone see where the flame might be?

They forgot to put in the last one in Del the patridge in a pear tree,arseholes could not organise a piss up in a brewery so glad I not living there anymore while that is going on, I have a few friends there who are dreading it, but I should'nt gloat at least not too much.

Once it's over with Dug, Stratford can enjoy the improvements.
Stratford was a dump beforehand.

[Del]

Totally agree. Brisbane was a backwater til we got the Commonwealth Games and Expo took it to a whole new level. And most of the sites they used were industrial dumps that were a blight on the city in the first place.

Batty it will stil be one afterwards 5 or 10 minutes away from the new Westfields centre it's still a dump, I'm glad I did'nt take the transfer offer to work there, the office overlooked the site I would have arrived there and it would have been time to go back home I might have turned into an alki with stress.

What does "bag" mean in this context?

We're going to put the Olympic Stadium and the Games into a bag, and take it home- what do you think it means?

To 'bag' something is to badmouth it. I thought that was British slang as well as Aussie slang. Oh well.

I found London bad enough in winter with nothing special going on (especially the Tube), so I reckon that if I was over there during the Olympics, it would be utterly unbearable.

Del, have you been watching Psychic Expo ads? I detest the word fantabulous, partly because it isn't a word. And if it was, then I would purge it with fire.

But seriously, what is the point of the Olympics? It's basically a revival of a Greek ceremonial games where men would compete naked (and no ladies were allowed to watch or, with some exceptions, compete, because Ancient Greece was a misogynistic group of city states, with the exception of Sparta, which was just a military dictatorship). Can you imagine running at full pelt in the nude? I can't. I could see some very painful injuries in a nude athlete's future.

Especially in the hurdles events!

[Tonyblack]

No, I've never heard that phrase before. Oh well, if we aren't allowed to bad mouth it, I'd better stay away from this thread then.

No, that's just Del trying to drum up support. London residents affected by it have a right to bag it. And then put it in the bin.

On a lighter note, are they getting David Tennant to do the final leg of the Olympic Torch run, like in the Doctor Who story Fear Her?

Where's the Benny Hill Cyclotron, where, old geezers will chase after half-naked girls, paying tribute to Britain's most recognized cultural export?

Olympic torch bearer Jerri Peterson had a tattoo done to mark her role in the 2012 relay, only to find the tattoo artist had misspelled 'Olympic'.

Just back from the grand-daughters school play version of sport and the olympics featuring kids singing about about starkers on the starting line and nuddy on the playing field.
