Road to the Olympics 2012

[GIMH]

It was me spending seven weeks there that made the city Olympic-worthy tbh, FACT

 

[Burgey]

Were you there in 1908?

Anyway, if that's true, why is Birkinhead still a **** hole and not hosting the Games?

 

[GIMH]

Good question. I'll get working on the bid for 2024.

Should have used UDRS.

Should have used UDRS.

Who's going to light the cauldron? Alex Tudor?

probably Redgrave, my choice would have been Colin Dredge, or Jimmy Pursey, but no-one listens to me

 

[benchmark00]

I heard Roger Bannister and the Queen are a good chance also.

Obv a disgrace if the Queen does it. Hasn't broken into a stride her entire life.

Frimpong just tweeted this::::::

"If Ghana don't win the Speed Boat contest then For All us Africans that came England by Boat has been A waste of time nd talent"

gotta love him.

 

[grecian]

More Beards here than in Hollywood...

 

[grecian]

Suffragettes and horses in the same arena, have they thought this through?

A lack of kangaroos on bikes not doing this ceremony any favours.

 

[benchmark00]

That dude with the pork chop sideys was so committed to his role.

 

[grecian]

Gotta say, despite my world-weary cynicism, I didn't hate that opening.

 

[grecian]

**** me, as far from a royalist as you can get, but the actual queen in a sketch.

 

[benchmark00]

Most animated I've ever seen the Queen.

Fred Goodwin would be my choice - who could be more popular?

**** me, as far from a royalist as you can get, but the actual queen in a sketch.

Seriously, was that her, or a really good looky-likey?

 

[Burgey]

The chimneys were plainly an anti-Carbon Tax protest.

Ahhhh, here we go Murphy. You'll love this. The rise of the Welfare State. Where's Ikki when you want to punch him in the face?

Two verses of the Nash Anthem - but stopped short of controversial Scots-bashing lyrics.

Definitely her I think, and Boyle then moves into stuff about the NHS, I love Danny Boyle, you watching Cameron and Romney
