Looked, slapped, na your talking shit, poverty Pffff, get on with it, think you was looking for politics not sport

[DC]

The olympic games has more politics wrapped up in it than a general election. But good to see you have yer priorities right, lets have a bunch of games instead of putting the money to actual good use...and ya say I'm talkin shit, fuk lmao....that's rich comin from you.

If you want to start a "POLITICS @ The Olympics" thread then feel free, as for the school lesson on politics and sport, well I had it aswell, back when east Germany (not Europe as it is now) still existed and I doubt very much the U.K will benefit in any way political as no cunt likes us anyway

Enjoy

Who benefits from events like this? Are the organizers on our side? Does it bring nations closer together? Or is it just about some rich old fuckers getting richer? Wine and games... some things never change.

[Kermit]

I benefited, I smiled when mo won his medals, any1 who knows me knows I don't smile for nowt apart from spoon, a pussy in my face or walking into voyagers on day 1, that was my benefit and if you wasn't in the pub last night I would take your post serious

My post was about 7 hours after my second (and last) beer... Not saying that there's something wrong with having a nice time watching sports - but we could get the same "entertainment" for much less money plus put some of the budget to better use. Everybody got a right to their own opinion. We don't have to agree all the time, do we?

Didn't want to start a new thread for this, all Olympians in my eyes.

Gonna watch Goalball today and then abit of the Judo later

I thought the opening ceremony has really set the tone. " I am what I am ". So lets go .

We've got 2 lots of tickets for Athletics in the main arena, for Sunday and next Thursday. .

Only got to see a few of highlights from ceremony, the Steven Hawkins part was done very well.

Couldn't find the Goalball even though it was advertised Never mind Velodrome was pretty cool earlier

JUDO JUDO JUDO!!

[spidergawd]

I know mon the BBC Olympic coverage spoilt us, this one just has 1 channel so I guess we'll get the highlights a lot of the time. . My Mrs is a sport nut so we watched the full show .

[Rusty Shackleford]

Ben Quilter done well in Judo, he wasn't to happy in the interviews, but sure cant complain with Bronze

Track today

What a show this Paralympics is, truly inspirational and I'm so glad we took our 2 eldest G.kids (7). They have an absolutely different reaction to disability than the way my generation did, thank goodness for that.
Only shame is whilst it's a packed stadiums here I understand the rest of the worlds not interested. 340 athletes from the USA loads of golds and I hear NBC are just showing a couple of hours of highlights which is a shame. And some countries zero. Oh well I guess some of the Athletes are not so "photogenic", but fuck, they take their shit seriously .

Saw the Pestorius race last night, those guys fly.
