Me too. No interest whatsoever in the corrupt, overblown mess that it will be. Or that annoying clown Danny Boyle and his stupid ideas.

Isn't that a little extreme if the fizzing fails?



I would recommend a rhubarb smoothie (also perfect as a humbug substitute if one is feeling non-committal; e.g. rhubarb, rhubarb, rhubarb... ad infinitum)

It would be good if the games were set permenantly in its birthplace of Greece and when the Olympic apartments were not in use they could be used for holidaymakers.

That way Greece would have a chance to survive its current dire straits and become a noted place in the world and maybe pay back that greedy I.M.F.

The rest of the world can be safe from the disruption and distruction that comes with the Olympic bandwaggon.

But will the people that have this as their biggest moneyspinner relinquish this opportunity to Greece its true home.

Thanks Chippy- got there no hold ups-A4 route. I was passed by several official cars though- all BMWs painted in garish colours. Coming back the centre of London was hilarious (at midnight) lorries and men everywhere shifting barriers and plastic walls and loading stuff onto lorries. There were some sitting around tables with large parasols up on traffic islands- very surreal in the middle of the night.

I totally agree with you Tarot.

I'm liking most of it...


Though I do get distracted with certain design/style details


(mind you that applies to pretty much everything I see/do)


For instance; what's with those arm sleeve things with the vest tops (even a guy from CK Rep had some on) Not sure on those


I really-do-not-dig the team GB head bands, they're a no-no


And i'm liking the socks to the knee thing, looks a bit bonkers but some carry it off


Also, some of the eastern european /russian girls favour a bit of harsh peroxide hair-do


(slightly retro hooker with a light Myra Hindley thrown into the mix )


The silly airbrush nails on sprinters are so-over


Hair ribbons rock



Yeah !

I haven't watched any of it and don't intend to. Everytime I hear any of it at a distance there is some weirdo hysterically screaming at whomever is doing their thing and I just want to wring their neck. The one benefit is the distinct lack of traffic outside of the Olympic venues, and a visible increase in police patrol vehicles.

Could it be that all these anti-Olympic posters are only feeling this way because they couldn't get tickets?


I was lucky enough to go to an event where we won a silver medal. Since then I seem to be suffering from Olympic fever! I can't get enough of it & am watching TV at every opportunity, cheering on Team GB & feeling proud to be British.


Being there, wrapped in my Union Jack flag surrounded by thousands of other supporters, had such an effect on me that I'm now watching sports that I've never been interested in before.


Not sure I'd have felt the same if I hadn't actually attended.


Being allocated the tickets made me feel part of it all, so I was seeing the whole games experience as something to look forward to, rather than an inconvenience.

Maybe we should do away with all spectator events? Live theatre?...bunch of la-di-da fruit salads prancing about like tits. Music? Well, its just uneccessary noise innit. When I'm down the pub I like to discuss the minutiae of my day including the contents of my bellybutton, the declining quality of tiling grout and the combined weight of all my toenail clippings. Whats wrong with opium anyway? I find it rather moreish.

    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.   
    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since.
