Gor blimey, me loveable old china bob......from, er, Norwich. stretching the East End very east.

Tears in my eyes. Absolutely fooking amazing. Huzzah for the Olympics

...it's gone now

There's a cloud that looks like a very fat duck floating past my window

Sooo... just what's the diffrence between this and the bile Frankie Boyle tweets? Does nothing but enforce the impression I have that twitter is the the biggest pile of poo on the internet. Can't discuss anything serious such as politics as the limits leave no room for any discussion of any sort just vacouus sloganeering, passed on jokes, and petty spats between tedious celebrities. The perfect metaphor for our dumbed down culture. As I've said, I've yet to read a Tweet that's made me think better of a tweeter or even just 'think'. Most are just innane or a bit embarrasing tbh.

What Strafer said - I failed on my ticket apps but have a few events/parties etc, we are going to a paralympics and will go up for the marathon. Torch was down the road a couple of hours ago for free and most people say they enjoyed this, pubs will be showing it, etc, etc , Anyway, my original point was at the moany old cynical miserablists WHO ARE ALL OVER THE PLACE (especially t'internet) moaning.....We don't all feel like you miserablle tw*ts and I'm just letting you know like....not a one sided dialogue Huzzah for the Olympics

I'm going to watch it now (a first for me too). Down at Camp Bestival*. *dunno what I'm doing there tho. Queues and mud or sunburn and other people's screaming kids and half of Dulwich there anyway, and filthy toilets etc, etc, etc, etc Huzzah for the Olympics

Infact, I thought a few minor incidents aside that the Euro Championships was refreshingly untribal (also see SA)...even Ingerlaaand fans seem to be getting the hang of it. Still the world getting together horrible tribal nonsense.... Huzzah for the Olympics

RD, I am genuienely the least miserabalist Smiths fan I know! And I am a fan :) Huzzah for the Olympics

Let's scrap global sport - terrible thing hey Maxxii. You have a crap summer too. Huzzah for the Olympics.

And cancelling the Olympics cos we can@t afford it would have given us a great rep in the World. It starts tomorrow, it's a bit too late for that sort of miserabilism. I'm gonna have a ball. MP cos you have and you and your like are all over social media doing just that and so I have a perfect right to piont out what fun you are missing out on by being such a miserabalist and loads of us don't feel the same. Have a lousy summer. ...you know you want to. Huzzah for tghe Olympics.

El Pibe Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > plus you know....twenty .... four .... billion ... > pounds .... that's a lot from the money tree isn't > it ....... So. We should have just cancelled it in the face of austerity? Or we just moan on and on about that now? It's bit like going to somene's wedding and saying "They can't afford this you know"

But Keef if it's just about you for a few weeks that's a bit one dimensional don't you think? Plenty of SEN kids are really excited about this for intstance....inconvenience and all.

Yup, Straefer, it's almost adolescent! I mean the antis - i'm less bothered by the indifferent, fair enough but I still think they are missing out but get that some people don't get sport) Thankfully most people I know in the real World are generally well up for it. I'm not saying everything is rosy in the garden but FFS should theOlympics games not exist? Should we have canceeled hosting it because of the Credit Crunch? Should we just spend all summer sitting in dark rooms listening to the Smiths? Thankfully it is a small but vocal minority and I say Foook em. Huzzah for the Olympics

Opening ceremonies are a a bit crap shocker - what do you want Fooking Hamlet? Piss ioff with your contived oh so cool miserablessness. Huzzah for the Olympics

...I'm getting exited. My kids and their friends are excited, mot people I know are excited. This is a tremendous global event with inevitable chaos, cock ups, overhype and commerciaslism. But so what. ...the only annoying thing for me is the small but vocal group of mardy moaners who act like a group of moody nemos sitting in the corner of a party loudly, deliberately, wininng, "this party's crap" inessantly. Fuck em. Happy Olympics everyone!

"it's just in the Physche"...careful with that one EP, SJ will have you in the Tea Party for pointing it out....

'The problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of someone else's money' - maggie, just for you MM :)

The Swiss...now there@s a bit player whose currency has gone down the toilet....er.... Singapore, there's another poverty stricken bit player, etc, etc. Superstate PAH...they're on the wane just as Huge has got the hang of them. The US is likely to be more insular going forward as Shale/oil and gas is going to put it a s anet exporter and self suffucient in fuel within 15 years, so only it's ethnic links with Isreal will then bother it with all the 'orrible despotic/corrupt oil countries in the Middle East and Russia. I hate the word, but it (shale energy) is a 'gamechanger'. UK property - is a reasonable value, very secure asset, safer than banks/Hedge funds etc for all those arab/Greek/Russian/East European and now, in socialist France, we can add French millionaiires trying to put their cash somewhere

just lulling them into a false sense of security

no hedging so a loss for me and in the King George yesterday. Mick must be hurting......

Er I was respnding to AM's question, not making a plea to the US people. You're looking for an argument where there isn't one.

To be blunt - You are trying to have an argument with someone who agrees with you but was trying to explain how many Americans felt in his opinion. Jerez.

Sj you really didn't read read or aaaaunderstand my original post. you are getting almost carnallistic in your instant reaction to my posts. Where the fook do I say I support US gun laws? I, as Am asked for, tried to explain why I thought this whole issue isn't as clear cut in US minds as ours. GSH The Gun is an eloquent and excellent song in support of gun laws and as you know I am a fan how the fuck you'd think I'd post some of his lyrics out of context and against his beliefs is a bit bonkers.

I think that you guys have very little understanding of America or the American psyche if you can't grasp this. It is fundamental to many Americans.
