we have cliff richard
Walk around London and get stabbed by black gangsters !
Not trying to sound PC here, but that came across as a stupid thing to say. Idiots with knifes are idiots with knives, and they tend to come in all colours, even ompalumpa orange.
I tend to agree. I think we're going to embarrass ourselves infront of the world - yet again. Fly into Terminal 5 and have your luggage lost ! Use our underground tube system and enjoy the 100% degree conditions inside the carriages ! Walk around London and get stabbed by black gangsters ! Our opening ceremony will be a pile of shit. It'll all be half-assed - the country has no discipline, no passion, no commitment, no respect, no defining culture, so WTF are we going to put on ? A huge dancing and singing full English Breakfast ?
No way can you top what China did today. China is a super-power. Britain is a country out of control
China has a population of 1.7 billion people and they're all disciplined. The entire Beijing olympics so far have been beautifully orchestrated, professional, stunning. So China can control 1.7 billion people instantly. Britain can't even control its kids.
We'll have tourists coming over here in there hundreds of thousands. Come to England and get stabbed !
We should NEVER have been allowed to host it. We're not worthy

Just seen the start of the opening ceremony in beijing.
how the fuck will London top that?
Look at the fuck up that was Wembley Stadium, we cant even build one sports arena on time and in budget, how the fuck can we do the whole olympic complex
I bet when we won the bid, Seb Coe and his chums were saying behind their cheesy gritted toothed grins 'We fucking won????, now what the fuck do we do?????'
It reminds me of the eurovision Father Ted episode, when they chose Ted's song cause it was shit so ireland wouldn't have to host the contest (again)
That's the problem with PC'ness. If you say idiots with knives, someone will just come along and claim that a clever person could also have a knife. What would of been less stupid to say?
Come get stabbed by a 2 legged primate? Would we have someone who lost a leg in the war bitching we missed them out? Racism is bad, we've hurtled so far past the line these days that it really irks me tho.

theyve already started fucking up areas near me in order to make way for the Olympics. they've begun ripping up a royal park here (Greewich Park - oldest royal park in london) for some fucking equestrian events for the olympics despite it being too small. The reason why? To have a nice backdrop to look at on tv. Apparently most of the park will be closed for 2 years before and after the actual events. Its bullshit, millions of people go to the park each year and it's older than the olympics itself (not ancient ones obviously) and has more history than you can think of. Pisses me off
I hope you do realise what's the difference between China and United Kingdom that makes China look all disciplined and controlled.
Of course...to be honest we could do with some discipline over here
It'll all be half-asssed - the country has no discipline, no passion, no commitment, no respect, no defining culture, so WTF are we going to put on ? A huge dancing and singing full English Breakfast ?
Who saw the handover piece at the closing ceremony ?
If thats what we've got to offer then its going to look cheap and tacky. A fold-down London bus with a hedge on it. Leona Lewis + Jimmy Page's cover was awful. Even David Beckham who kicked a ball into the crowd looked uncomfortable / embarrassed.
Probably some committees idea of edgy, contempory Britain. Bet a shit load more of this tripe incoming, designed to please everyone but pleases no one.If thats what we've got to offer then its going to look cheap and tacky.

Well, yes really.
Why though?
For the reasons lamp gave.
No, Athens wasnt that amazing, but it wasnt embarrasing was it?
The opening ceremony will probably be hosted by Jordan and Peter Andre, two of Britain's finest ambassadors.
