The Olympics Thread

[JKLever]

The arriving US team as tactful as ever...

[PeterCS]

To stop them talking bullshit?

[JKLever]

Very good....

[taipan]

To hide their faces?

[tac]

So they're not mistaken for Saffies?

[mynah]

They're planning to compete like that? If not, what is the point?

[Brass Monkey]

They're actually all fans of Altern8.

What's that, you don't get it? That means you're not a British original 'rayvah' from the early 90's.

So, f*ck off.

[PeterCS]

I got it. I just thought it was pretty so-so.

[Brass Monkey]

I got it. I just thought it was pretty so-so.

Oh.

Well how about they've all just being plastering?

No.

OK.

How about they're paranoid little qunts?

That's the one.

Yeah, and what you can't see are the words, 'IS S**T' on that blokes t-shirt.

Top one, nice one, get sorted! [spaced out muntered smiley]

What do we think the chances of a Chinese athlete failing a drugs test are?

Before or after a bullet or the Bigjing smog get's 'em first?

[JKLever]

Pretty good - the Ruskies have already had a shedload of athletes fail tests...

[PlanetPakistan]

Would like to see the UF and UCF students win loads of medals.

Hope PAK make the semis in hockey.

The funny thing is that the air in Beijing isn't that bad at all - i've been to a lot worse cities. And that was before they closed all the factories down too.

Quite a few Chinese people wear those masks, but that's because when someone has a virus its considered polite not to share your germs with other people.

Think the Americans are psychologically putting themselves on the back foot too with an attitude like that...

[PlanetPakistan]

give the yanks a break

[PlanetPakistan]

they have apologized

[JGK]

Aust currently playing Serbia in the soccer and looking totally outclassed. It doesn't get much easier either, our other 2 games are against Messi and the Argies and then then the Ivory Coast (not sure if Drogba is playing).

Currently, Afghanistan are top of the medal count.

Short tourney for somebody?

[JGK]

Put it this way, in Olympic soccer you can draft in 3 over 23yo players. Brazil drafted in Ronaldinho, Aust drafted in David Carney FFS.

[WideWally]

I'm cheesed off. I was watching the first half of the soccer on Channel 7 but foolishly opened up the ninemsn site (to read my hotmail emails) only to see the final score shown there. I hadn't realised it was a replay.

[JGK]

Aye. And 7 have said that they are going to show the first 60 minutes of each Olyroos game but then switch to the swimming and not let SBS pick it up.

[Merlin]

Have the steroid-induced shennanigins in Bingjing already started?

Hmmm ... must load up with two dozen DVD's for the next two weeks to quell the boredom.

[JKLever]

Oh you big drama queen you...
