snakehips 0 Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Due to all this financial malarky, what a golden opportunity for the UK (fuck the IOC and what they think) to get these games back to some sort of normality. Stop the ostentatious, un-necessary, pain-in-the-arse, expensive opening ceremony. Stop all this flower giving to winners - they want their medals nowt fucking more. Not to mention the half a dozen folk that seem to attend the medal/flower giving; one guy should walk up with the medals in his pocket and give them to the 1st, 2nd and 3rd in turn. Make the IOC members pay for their tickets and accommodation like everyone else. I was going to say paint everything fucking grey also, but I thought I would come across as a bit curmudgeon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meenzer 15871 Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 I was going to say paint everything fucking grey also, but I thought I would come across as a bit curmudgeon Well that'd certainly fit with the rest of East London. A return to a sense of scale would be nice after the excesses of Beijing. Then again, I imagine the organisers are so paranoid about being seen to have "failed" that they won't entertain the prospect unless it becomes a financial necessity.

I was going to say paint everything fucking grey also, but I thought I would come across as a bit curmudgeon Great post. I wouldn't spend a penny on the opening ceremony, we don't need to promote ourselves, we're England, we don't need to roll the red carpet out for no cunt, they know who we are and what we're about. What I would do is at the start of the first event, have a 5 minute video of the Second World War on the big screens, of this country standing up alone for the best part of two years to the evil tyrrant when every cunt else was either waving white flags, or bottling it, while we're going round battering their planes and flattening their cities in the name of democracy. At the end a message on the big jumbotrons, ENJOY THE GAMES.....YOU'RE ONLY HERE BECAUSE OF US, then an ear piercing version of Nimrod on the big speakers followed by land of hope and glory.

[/Alf Garnett] I love the idea of saving our economy by cutting back on the flowers as well. Personally I'd make it track and field and swimming only, get rid of the rest of it, that would save a packet. We'd get fuck all medals like but so be it.

Gotta keep the weightlifting. I fucking love that event. If I could have tickets to any event during the whole games it would be that. Fuck the rest. btw, the flowers aren't exactly gointo wreck the economy, it's just something that has manifested itself as being part of the games over the years and is total shite. imo.

NJS 4447 Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 I pass the stadium every day and it's well on its way - cancelling at least that now would be pretty daft. I agree on cutting the shit sports though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
