Beats Kylie on a giant flip-flop any day. Or was it a giant thong? :-S I can?t recall.

They wouldnt be allowed to do a display - just a fly past with smoke trailing - much as they have done over central London.


I seem to remember something similar at South African event on the TV a few years ago (Rugby, cricket?) when a SA Airways 747 flew over the stadium in formation with some SA Airforce jets.


Didnt the Patroulle de France do a fly by for the world cup?


Clearly we have to have English Morris dancing, Welsh close harmony singing, Scottish sword dancing and Northern Irish marching-in-an-assertive-manner at the opening ceremony.

What we should do is get the formation underage drinking display team in from Chatham in their best burberry and bling.


They down their bacardi breezers in an impressive display of foolishness before synchronised throwing up, vandalising phone boxes and going off for a quick knee trembler behind the managerial dugout.


Red Arrows Shmarrows.

I'm gonna side with Oscar Wilde on this one, who once said:- "One should try everything once except Morris dancing and incest."



=====================================================


Blimey - I lived in Norfolk for a while and knew people that did both!!

I was at the Wales v Australia rugby game in Cardiff a few weeks ago - part of the "French" Rugby World Cup.


At the end of the game there was a fly-past by the Red Arrows in a delta formation - and very impressive it was. At the time I couldn't help but think it would have been even more impressive had the roof of the stadium been open...


Can we expect a similar level of eptitude (if such a thing exists) during the London Olympics?

Thank God there is some humour here NOW.


Honestly guys, everyone could offend someone by whatever they do. The fact is that sometimes those that see offensiveness isnt necessarily seen as offensive to those that we MIGHT offend as offensive!!


That was difficult, but hope you get my gist!!:-S

How about the Red Arrows actually doing a Morris Dance stylie display?


"Ladies and Gentlemen, the Red Arrows. The display will start with the "Concorde break", moving into "diamond nine", then into "Bonny Green Gaters", the "Bampton Sidestep" and the "Maid of the Mill". At which point the synchro-pair will peel off for "Shave the Donkey", rejoining the group for "Bobbing Around"."

    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge". 
    • Can’t imagine what it must be like you have your doorbell rung harshly.
