why will it be the worse olympics ever? personally having lived in china i know the chinese will give this 110% and pull out all the stops. they cannot be seen to lose face so i imagine that the opening ceremony on friday is going to be amazing. failing to wow is not an option !

d'Olympics are just LUDICROUS - on so many levels - politically, organisationally, some of the events, etc etc etc etc etc


However...


I will still be taking a peek at some of it- maybe it's a legacy of playing Track and Field for so many years on various computers - but I love a long jump/triple jump/javelin record breaking attempt

I've been banned by the missus from watching Wexford (hurling or football), especially at Croke Park where I have a 100% jinx record so far (it's about 95% on the telly)


"overpaid prima donnas" by the sounds of things, of late at least, the main difference is that they're unpaid prima donnas ;)


At least Olympic athletes are clean living amateurs aren't they....err...aren't they?!?!

Beijing Olympics - load of old w@nk


London Olympics - load of old w@nk that WE are paying for.


Tessa of North London has ensured that her constituency has got no benefit from 2012 - an opporunity to link us to East London via a link to the Jubilee Line, East London Line or the DLR has been missed.


What do we get? Sod all. What will we get in the Olympic debt ridden decades after 2012? Sod all.

Didn't the C4 news last night have an item on it saying that 30 of America's medal hopes were not born in the US and some had even won medals for other countries - they have apparently done this to beat the Chinese medal count. These people have been helped to get fast track US nationality - just in time for the games.


I thought it was the taking part that mattered - ha ha ha!

    • In my experience there is no fool proof solution to this with any company. Delivery drivers are people and people will make mistakes, cut corners, mis-understand instructions or simply not read them.  I've left instructions for parcels with just about every single company out there and at some point they've all screwed up.  I think the security camera is the best deterrent for thieves. In this case, my ring door bell spooked them off. I've just installed warning signs at my safe space to make it even clearer that they're being recorded. In the case that mistakes do still happen by the couriers, at least I know about it on the camera and can try to alert a neighbour if I'm not home.  Its sad that we have to turn our homes into fort knox with cameras but that's the world we live in. 
    • Ultimately unacceptable behaviour at many schools of all types was exposed by Everyone Invited, not just at Dulwich College. 
    • Come now, you have seen the constant threads concerning poor post and deliveries since the Dulwich office closed and merged with Peckham  Surly that alone tells you how it would compare to now as the whole system was way more efficient.  But despite the complaints and warnings here we are!!
    • Surely that would just make the system even more complicated?
