Any one see the London 2012 pre olympic ceremony at Beijing closing ceremony?

What a pile of poo!

They must have spent all of five hundred bucks on that bus.

Could have only been worse if David Beckham made a speech.

Yeah the mayor was a crack up.
Was waiting for him to give a speech now that would have been classic.

I was just waiting for him to produce a bottle and have a swig.
Looked like Sir Les Patterson crapping himself in front of a big crowd

as an ex-pom...i've got to tell you that the british don't really have any rivalry with aussies, (bar cricket but thats just for 1% of the population),,,, in fact most of them don't give a stuff about the olypmics, it's just a bit of entertainment on the box for a couple of weeks...

there's only one sporting event thats going to stop this nation in its tracks and get emotions to boiling point...thats the football world cup (soccer).

The old sporting enemy is Germany, always will be; followed by Argentina...hmmmm the last two countries they declared war on...

I thought the respective sports ministers had made a bet as to which country would win the most medals. Our minister unfortunately made it clear that the loser wasn't going to do a nudie run.

He did give a speech...and it was classic. He looks a bit rough - but he is a good guy.

I doubt the London Olympics will be as spectacular as the Beijing ones, however its likely to be a lot more fun.

The bus was still sh.. t

And yes, it is all about the money.
The last thing London needs is another temporary building.

I want a Terradactyle Nest Sports Stadium and enough fire works so you can see them from Belgium.
And the Beatles, with john Lennon and that other one brough back to life by Cloning.

In reality all we'll get is a bunch of art students and a Pakistani getting on and off a bus!

And I want all the Great British sports brought into the Olympics so we can win more medals.
Like Egg and Spoon Race, snooker, darts, pub crawls, British Bulldogs.

Bill Werbeniuk would drink six or eight pints before a match of snooker and a pint each frame to alleviate a hereditary arm judder.

If you want to diss the the Poms in the Olympics, best thing to do is find out what they are saying about themselves:

www.thedailymash.co.uk/****-again-200808191183/

They deserve a gold medal in putting themselves down.

Some classic dart Commentary from Sid Waddell.

"There couldn't have been more sensation if Elvis walked in here and asked for a chip sandwich."

"When Alexander of Macedonia was 33 he cried salt tears because there were no more worlds to conquer - Bristow is only 27!"

Class.
