Let's talk Olympics

[Red]

I'm gutted for them

i think its a bit harsh to say that she is up herself and snobby, she may be but not to the extent of what you are portraying it as. the queen probably doesn't smile much because she is the queen and she is respected and deserves respect, when she does smile people take it as an important thing due to the fact she doesn't smile much. if she smiled every time something happened then respect could be lost for her as it could show she doesn't really care she is just smiling to make other people happy. but when she does actually smile (on the few occasions) it can really have a good impact on the people that respect her. that's probably why she doesn't smile much, but we can't really judge her as we're not the queen, and we don't know what its like to be in her shoes.

Ok Japan are protesting so we could not have a silver just yet...

[xxMATTGxx]

Back down to a bronze, Japan went up in points after the protest.

Gold: China
Silver: Japan
Bronze: Great Britain

Great effort from britain there!

unlucky with the appeal but japan deserved second really.

First medal in that event since 1912 I think?

That is such a ******* scam lol. No one in the stadium was happy about that apart from that ugly looking Japanese team

they should be deported

or shot

True but very ironic.



Have you not seen enough LED lights?
Beijing was mesmerising in its brilliant way but London was too misleading and ironic. And what did you mean by better music? UK definitely took one or two ideas from Beijing in terms of expressing their own culture. But still, Beijing was better than London even though it might not give you the warm and cosy feeling etc. However, Beijing had successfully poured out 5000 years of history in just a few hours. Compared to London, it felt like they were partying or watching a circus with a few 'good' performers instead of celebrating Olympics. London kept emphasizing on how amazing its history has been but it's not. It looked like they were dying for praises when they brought out all these childhood stories which were only creative but didn't tell much about GB's history. They persuaded the Queen to jump off the helicopter but the Queen is just a human being who eats, sleeps, drinks and ages like how all of us do. I don't really see the big deal of the Queen parachuting. Might be even better if they could find other 86 y/o athletes to parachute. That might show how enthusiastic they are for Olympics. The Queen? Nah. Maybe they wanted the Queen to do it so that we'll laugh.



I wasn't expecting too much. Just what Olympics should be rather than showing how 'accepting' a multinational state should be. Whoever will thought of letting Ban Ki Moon carry the Olympic flag lackadaisically. I didn't expect to watch a circus full of random songs or whatever. The coordination wasn't there. And I don't see how accepting UK is. More of how busybody UK is in other people's business. That's the reality and changing the perception of how one should view UK through Olympics won't actly change anything really. UK may be more accepting of other races but I still don't see how. The name callings like bacon etc. You know it better. So, tell me how is UK accepting? And I always wonder why Paul McCartney. Elton John's not dead .
And yes. Mr Bean's there for nothing except for cheap humour.
The whole show's just for laugh and giggles imo. Didn't really impress me except for the parachuting part. How desperate.

Misawa? Is that you?

[dirrty]

my hopes for team GB not getting a lot of medals is working. perrrrrrrrrrfect.

We just beat Argentina in Hockey (preliminary round) by a fantastic 4-1. Fantastic performance from TeamGB!
