I was appalled by the opening ceremony, I mean how on earth did the British have the audacity to show off part of their historic culture to the world like this? Talk about re-writing history.

The funny thing was that in america the most googled thing right after it happend was "who invented the world wide web" and on american forums there was outrage that it was a British person and not an american lol

The same yanks thought that Kenneth Branagan was dressed as Abraham Lincoln

What a swim from 15 year old Ruta Meilutyte. Gold medal!!! Highlight of the Olympics so far for me.

I think the Women's Football tournament has been more fun to watch than the Men's. 

Also.  They should have spent a couple of Million to be able to heat that Beach Volleyball court.  Watching these chicks dressed in pants and long sleeved shirts takes a bit away from the enjoyment

Imagine meeting one of these weightlifting women.  "So, what do you do for a living miss?"    "I clean and Jerk".

i've heard enough "snatch" jokes in the last few days to last me a lifetime 

just wait until we get to the women's beach volleyball semi's

the only people likely to start arguments are those who tell people to fúck off. the thread is called 'olympic games' i don't see the bit where it says its only for people who want to feel all excited and patriotic. you could easily start another thread for that.

I agree totally Andy.

The southerners though are likely to feel patriotic more than anyone else as its happening in their own back yard so to speak. Elsewhere of course, the attitude is different. The southerners think that all of Britain should feel proud to be British, while in the north, a majority of us couldn't give two sh!ts.

Judging by the amount of empty seats reported, im not alone in my opinion.

What do these people on the internet "Women's beach volleyball semi's happening all over the world?  I thought it was in London."


"Nevermind Dear.  Why don't you go take a nap.  You look tired."

If you think that the empty seats is some sort of proof that the public don't give a feck about the Olympics then I suggest you go check the reasons why there are empty seats - it has nothing to do with them being unsold - every public seat is sold bar a couple hundred. The empty seats are from the Olympic family and overseas Olympic Organisations.

30 mil watched the opening ceremony

20 mil watched the men's road race ffs

Over 15 mil watched Addlington

60 thousand turned up to watch cross country

Every single train from Manchester and Leeds and South West is full going into London

The whole country is gripped by it - it's only the bitter minority that complain about it all and as they say "don't give a f*ck "

Go start your own thread and you can slate and hate the Olympics in there
