Is this what the 70s was like, grecian?

No mate. This is the future!

 

[Neil Pickup]

Who's the tip to light the flame? Will it be Redgrave?

Steve, not Vanessa.

Haja Brumbeh... Queen. Won't be happy!

Apparently the odds on Roger Bannister plummeted today, but the way things are going here, it'll probably be Harry Potter.

There was more about rusks and short trousers, when I was there TBH.

 

[Neil Pickup]

Probably should have figured on a bit of Trainspotting, really...

 

[grecian]

**** me the Prodigy and the Pistols, now West Ham's theme song, this is gloriously mad.

 

[grecian]

Feel-good movie "Slumdog Millionaire", okay.

Nelson is totally out of his depth.

 

[grecian]

Amy for you Benchmark.

Let's be fair dinkum, the crowd wants to see Keeley Hazell light the cauldron with the torch jammed between her cans.

 

[grecian]

Becks driving a boat, WTF.

The obligatory interpretive dance segment of the ceremony. Should score big with the judges.

 

[grecian]

Showboating bastards those Grecians.

Laren Jackson's family are old friends of my family. So happy for her, genuinely nice person.

Oh God, some muppet wrapping the flag around himself as he marches in. Always be wary of people who wrap themselves in the flag. Usually they're ****s. Bet it was Nick Darcy.

They're like Fitzroy. Everyone's second team.

Oh I think Vijay Singh may make the olympics next time, I mean there's obviously all the other Fijian golfers that may push him out of the squad.

 

[benchmark00]

Haha someone explain Independent Olympic Athletes to me. Where are they 'from'?

 

[benchmark00]

Just read up, got it.
