Olympics 2012

Is it too early to have an Olympic Rikki?...I don't think so. Things (good and bad) should start happening about now.
I notice some of those tiresome occupy protesters have been removed from one of the sites. Also the Sex Pistols have turned down an official gig. Obviously afraid that no one will remember them.

...so how many of our British forumers have got tickets & to what events?

I'm in denial about the Olympics. Still hoping we'll get reprieved somehow and they won't have to take place on this grim and decaying island in the summer rain/hail/snow.

At least one stadium/venue/facility will fall down or get blown up by jihadists.

They're going to be a national embarrassment.

I'll be over here, hiding under a blanket until it all blows over.

....or you could take in a tourist or two for some exorbitant rental.

Bit far from London.

The sailing will take place down here. That's sure to draw in the crowds...

The Olympics? They've been ruined. Apparently the volleyball birds don't have to wear skimpy outfits anymore.

Jill will get you for that

Why? Walrus conservationist?

Suffers from mental pictures

Well, think about it, it's always a bit 'choppy' here... there were bound to be glass-cutting ning-nongs all over the shop.

In the ning nang noo?

Urban dictionary hath not my definition. Ning-nongs are erect nipples. Glass-cutters are of the ultra-hard variety.

On the Ning Nang Nong
Where the Cows go Bong!
and the monkeys all say BOO!
There's a Nong Nang Ning
Where the trees go Ping!
And the tea pots jibber jabber joo.
On the Nong Ning Nang
All the mice go Clang
And you just can't catch 'em when they do!
So its Ning Nang Nong
Cows go Bong!
Nong Nang Ning
Trees go ping
Nong Ning Nang
The mice go Clang
What a noisy place to belong
is the Ning Nang Ning Nang Nong!!

Aye, the Milligan... I was just trying to expand the forum vernacular.

I applied on the first round and like many others got ......... not a single ticket.

Whereas tons of corporate passes on offer. And apparently tickets flapping around on European websites.

The People's Olympics. Be part of it.

my mum's going to the opening ceremony and the 100 m final i think. luckily my cousin is a filthy rich banker who has more tickets than he can be bothered with

I don't mind the Dwayne thing if he has more clothes on than a skimpy bikini. I feel bad for any of the volleyball players, particularly those from countries where it's hot and nice to play volleyball outside.

I didn't apply for anything as I was too appalled by the prices to do so, and then I left the UK in disgust anyway, so I will be watching it a little bit as and when I can. I vaguely know a couple of the rowers, so I'll prob be interested in that, along with the hockey and the athletics. But mainly the equestrian stuff. I like to see horses winning medals.

They won't let me into London sadly. So I'll have to watch it on the teev.

I'm sure she could if she wanted...

Smerkles? Coz you're Welsh?

How can you describe our beautiful country like that? If I could be bothered, I'd post loads of photos of rolling green meadows, bluebells and crashing Atlantic waves. Shame on you, Dello!
