IMO the whole 'sporting' event has been overshadowed by mis-management, overspend and worst of all 'corporate greed'.....hence I'll be glad when it's all over

Hello Stupid lol,

I must admit I think like you that something 'bad' is going to happen. I just hope I am terribly wrong and that it all goes off without major issue.

I think it all got very stupid when McDonalds stopped others around the venue selling chips because, they have the sole rights to selling french fries.:mad: In my own opinion what McDonald's sell is nothing like a proper good old British chip.

I see that we are doing is what us Brits do best ..... 'diss'
There is already a feeling of big event overload, - Queenie, Euro footy, tennis, - and next the big O - which I think none of us think we can really pull off,....
- but I think we will.
We might turn up late for a party, but when we get there !
The Olympics is everywhere, but everyone's hands are tied, - the main sponsors have soo much tied up in it, the Gov get bashed for everything coz that is just polotics, and mr Logobear cannot print a t with 5 rings coz he will loose his house!
The economy is in tatters, future uncertain, ....
Even the weather sucks!
So, in summary, - business as usual!
I am looking forward to the synchronised swimming events;-)

The people who live in the flats where they have installed surface to air missiles I was wondering if they could get a reduction on their contents insurance. :rolleyes:
