Andrew 4875 Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Does anyone give a fuck yet? £9.3 billion pounds, all this talk of legacy, how many world class schools, hospitals or shopping centres could have been bombed with that? the talk of legacy is particularly galling when no one involved seems to realise (or care) how little difference is made to anywhere except london for all of this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenL 0 Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Sold 20,000 tickets for synchronised fucking swimming. Shame there's only 10k. I think people do care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Aye, most don't though. Tbh, I like the Olympics but it being in London makes fuck all difference as far as I'm concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleeToonFan 1 Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Didn't watch it China, not got gonna watch it in London. I'm envious of Poland and Ukraine who in my eyes have the most important sporting event of the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meenzer 15741 Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 I'm looking forward to it. Got tickets for a few things, including the closing ceremony. I'd probably be sick of the hype if I still lived elsewhere though, you get totally desensitised to the London bias in the media/government/society/etc. after a few years of living here.

It's going to be a bad year for me as far as the media goes, we're not halfway through January yet and I'm already bored shitless of hearing about the damn olympics, it just doesn't interest me in the slightest.

Ayatollah Hermione 14074 Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 Mad scenes at the end of Argentina vs Morocco. Complete with ugly crowd action that has cast a dark shadow on the games already and it hasn’t even technically begun. Women’s Handball tomorrow.

wykikitoon 20876 Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 (edited) Glad we're learning Brunei Darussalam is rich as fuck. But don't be homosexual you will be stoned to death. They seemed to forget that bit out. Edited July 26 by wykikitoon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 46132 Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 Aye these boats coming through are a bit naff. You're not getting the same focus on the athletes as you usually do either, they're having to race through garbled commentary on who's who. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
