Non-thread-worthy.
So, basically, the entire debacle.

Fuck the Olympics. I hope it's crap.

Golf is going to be an Olympic sport from 2016 :doh:
Might as well add darts while they're at it.
:yawn:
Darts :bow:

If Darts are so they might as well make Snooker as well

I think you know the answer to that.
Maccy's batcave of TV's. :bow:
Kabadi doesn't get on to my usual fix of TV stations that I broadcast from.
Good game though, good game.
Test cricket. With all 204 participating nations eligible. Might need to start it a bit before the Games proper though.....
The BBC's coverage has been outstanding.
The player thingy on their website is brilliant and the red button means you can watch whatever you want.
BBC :bow:
It is pretty good. Particuarly having all the sports available on Sky channel 450 and onwards.
Question is, was it worth ploughing all their money into a 2 week jolly and skimping on their coverage of other sports?

A member of the Olympics opening ceremony cast managed to take part in the athletes' parade alongside the India team, Lord Coe has revealed.
The woman was one of the volunteers who had been part of the cast of the show and became "over-excited", according to he London 2012 chairman.
He said: "She was a member of the cast who got slightly over-excited, we had suspected she was probably a member of the cast but she clearly started in that venue and we will be speaking to the Indian delegation about that.
"She shouldn't have been on the parade and we will look into that... the next time we have an opening ceremony."
The young woman, clearly dressed differently to the Indian team in a red shirt and blue trousers, walked alongside flag-bearer Sushil Kumar during the parade.
India's chef de mission P K Muralidharan Raja said: "She had no business to walk in with the Indian contingent and we are taking up the issue with the organisers.
"We don't know who she is and why she was allowed to walk in. It is a shame that she was with the athletes in the march past."
:lol:
They can't outbid Sky or any other subscription channel for other sports.Quote:

Yeah but they gave up football, a bunch of tennis, F1, horse racing and others. When the olympics is over they have next to nothing left.Quote:

We got our first medal, courtesy of cyclist Lizzie Armitstead. What an utter darling. According to commentators, she had ‘fresh legs in good shape’, which she used to batter heroically through a torrential rainstorm, only to come second to some bitch from Holland. Never mind, after the 80-mile race Lizzie emerged without a speck of mud on her flawless complexion, manicure perfect, looking ready for her close-up.

1443: London's Mayor Boris Johnson has been left hanging after he got stuck on a zip wire at an Olympic event in Victoria Park, London. Mr Johnson ground to a halt about 20 metres (65ft) from the end of the 320m (1,050ft) long line. Carrying two Union Jack flags and a blue hard hat, the mayor was rescued after around five minutes suspended in mid-air.

FAILED DRUGS TEST
American judoka Nick Delpopolo has been expelled from the Games after a positive drugs test and admitted he had eaten food which contained marijuana.
Delpopolo insisted he had not known the unidentified food contained the banned substance, but that was not sufficient as a defence.
:doh:
Space cakes?
Wouldn't that hinder his performance, potentially?
It'd numb the pain from being thrown about I suppose.
Gabby Logan looks a bit chilly.
