Grimly Curmudgeon wrote Andy Cap wrote Giving awards like Sir and Lord for getting a Gold medal IS ridiculous, the medal should suffice. I agree. Mind you, the sporting knighthood goes back a ways. and it doesn't cost the state anything. It does cost the state quite a bit to work out who to give them to and who don’t qualify. As am American classmate said to me "what a wonderful idea, at home we have to give them money." Nope, you don’t have to give them a damned thing. |

Rod Speed wrote: John Williamson wrote Rod Speed wrote Brian Gaff wrote I think despite the critics, people are telling me that the organisation of the Olympics has been very good so far Like hell they are on the number of empty seats alone. Seats which were "sold" by the organisers (as required by their contract) to the OIC and various sports federations. Another bare faced lie. Then you obviously think that the BBC, the IOC and LOCOG are all lying. The BBC are just repeating the lie from those other fools. Even someone as stupid as you should have noticed those last two lying about that. The provision is in the original bid documents, just as they were for the Sydney Games in 2000. But is nothing like your lie. Complete and utter shambles in fact. Far from it. Complete and utter shambles in fact. Even the press here have been impressed by the organisation of the Games, So ****ing what ? Even just all those empty seats is a complete and utter shambles. and all it takes for The Sun to have a go is a hint that something *might* have the possibility of going slightly wrong... Corse none of them even mentioned all those empty seats, eh ? Of course there has been the odd breakdown on the underground, Shouldn’t have happened if the system had been designed right. (1) The underground was never "designed" as a unit, Irrelevant to whether it would have happened if the particular bits had been designed right. Like the Sydney equivalent? http://www.abc.net.au/7.30/stories/s162615.htm You have a short memory, don't you? Nope, I know what happened with that. Another shambles. (It's a link to a story about the problematic rail transport for the Sydney Games in 2000) Another:- http://partners.nytimes.com/library/...oly-rails.html Bear in mind that the Sydney system is less than a quarter of the size of the London Underground, was carrying less than a fifth of the passenger load and still didn't get fixed in time... After four days, we had already passed the total passenger numbers for the Sydney Olympic and Paralympic Games. Hardly surprising that a few more find it easier to be in London, stupid. (2) It is better than 99.9% reliable, Pity other rail systems had no failures at all during their olympics. Short memory you've got there, or weren't you alive during the Sydney Games? They had rail and bus problem on most days. Plenty of others didn’t. I could, no doubt, come up with similar stories about *every* Olympics or other major event. No you can't with their rail system. which is pretty good, given the average age of its parts, The fools running that system should have considered that and fixed what problems there were before the olympics. Is speechless (Knowing very well that *all* public transport systems break down in some way every single day). Pigs arse they do in a way that needs buses on standby. (3) There are enough buses on standby to cover any public transport breakdowns within very tight schedules. Which is why a lot of bus and coach drivers are being paid loadsamoney to sit round all day waiting for a phone call... Still a complete and utter abortion. Described by at least one person I know who has been there as "London Transport at its best", More fool him. when he walked out of the Stadium to the nearest railway station after the event he was watching and got straight onto a train, which got him to his destination on time eactly as expected. Just like 99.9% of the others. That number is straight from your arse, we can tell from the smell. The only problem that's made the headlines here was when a coach driver from out of town got lost, and took too long to get a group of American athletes to their accommodation. That's thirty or forty passengers out of about three million so far with a minor problem. Another bare faced lie. |

Do let us know how you personally helped any of the medal winning heroes. WTF does that have to do with anything? I read it as ARW was claiming some isolated position in 'feeling proud' of 'his' country. As though he'd done something special himself. "Is there anyone else OTHER THAN ME that is proud of this country" is a very self centred question. But he's done **** all; so, in a very real sense, don't you think he's worthy of pity? Apart from the opening, I haven't watched any of it. Yes I feel proud to be British. It's better than being a Yankor a pac1. And much better than being a Frog or a Bruce. If you don't feel proud to be British, why don't you F off somewhere else? Miserable git. You talking to me? I'm very proud to be British Which is why I get ****ed off at people (like ARW) who regularly knock the people who work behind the scenes in GB to make things like this happen. ARW is one of the people who regularl y knocks the people of GB and their achievements (just re-read his posts); now he claims to be the only person "Is there anyone other than me ..." who is supporting GB. Adam does useful work, unlike a lot of the useless overpaid parasites we seem to have around us these days. Looks like you're another stupid **** who thinks that the achievement of the last few days in the Olympics is entirely due to the individual athletes and their achievements and nothing to do with the individual sports organisations and their officials If you were to think about it; these are the self same 'parasites' who organise things so that bigger and better things happen. However, since you're as dull witted as ARW, you fail to see that there are some people who who have bigger vision than you and Adam, so you discount their organisational abilities. Adam does useful work, unlike a lot of the useless overpaid parasites we seem to have around us these days. Fair enough; if I want a fence putting up (and can't be arsed to DIY it) I'll call Adam, if I want success at Olympic sports I'll call a proper professional. ARW had **** all to do with any achievements done by athletes today |

If acting like a **** was an olympic sport then you would win a gold I doubt you're still in school, so I really would have expected a better response than that. But really; what the **** have YOU done towards the brilliant achievements of the GB athletes? Have you been involved with a 'plan for development of potential of inner city juniors in Athletics', or maybe you Fitted a plug for a hair drier? Anything? Which is why I'd really like to hear why YOU think that YOU have some unique position in feeling proud of this country |

writes I read it as ARW was claiming some isolated position in 'feeling proud' of 'his' country. As though he'd done something special himself. "Is there anyone else OTHER THAN ME that is proud of this country" is a very self centred question. But he's done **** all; so, in a very real sense, don't you think he's worthy of pity? Apart from the opening, I haven't watched any of it. Yes I feel proud to be British. It's better than being a Yankor a pac1. And much better than being a Frog or a Bruce. If you don't feel proud to be British, why don't you F off somewhere else? Miserable git. You talking to me? I'm very proud to be British Which is why I get ****ed off at people (like ARW) who regularly knock the people who work behind the scenes in GB to make things like this happen. ARW is one of the people who regularl y knocks the people of GB and their achievements (just re-read his posts); now he claims to be the only person "Is there anyone other than me ..." who is supporting GB. Adam does useful work, unlike a lot of the useless overpaid parasites we seem to have around us these days. Looks like you're another stupid **** who thinks that the achievement of the last few days in the Olympics is entirely due to the individual athletes and their achievements and nothing to do with the individual sports organisations and their officials If you were to think about it; these are the self same 'parasites' who organise things so that bigger and better things happen. However, since you're as dull witted as ARW, you fail to see that there are some people who who have bigger vision than you and Adam, so you discount their organisational abilities. Adam does useful work, unlike a lot of the useless overpaid parasites we seem to have around us these days. Fair enough; if I want a fence putting up (and can't be arsed to DIY it) I'll call Adam, if I want success at Olympic sports I'll call a proper professional. ARW had **** all to do with any achievements done by athletes today If there was a gold medal for making things up, you'd be right up there as it is, nobody seems to have written what you imagine they have and ... if you want a fence putting up, this NG is all about doing it yourself not getting a man in, you stupid ****. And ... I'm not sure I've ever seen a useful contribution to this NG from you, why not bugger off somewhere else -- geoff |

Not at all, I'm pretty chuffed (proud if you will) that Andy Murray won today and I'm not even a Scot. Thats the beauty of he wins he's one of us, if not, he's another useless porrigewog Oh look, it's one of the ARW groupies!- that's always such a rewarding role. |

Given your misappropriate patriotism on near everything else, Just another of your pathetic little drug crazed fantasys/lies. Only a fool wouldnt be able to grasp that a country with more than 3 times as many people wouldnt have at least 3 times as many fools actually stupid enough to waste their time on something as stupid as the olympics. You qualify in spades. I was wondering why India and Indonesia were doing so well in the medal tables ... -- geoff |

writes Brian Gaff wrote I think despite the critics, people are telling me that the organisation of the Olympics has been very good so far Like hell they are on the number of empty seats alone. Complete and utter shambles in fact. with the result that people are happy at the venues etc. Pity about the ones that couldnt get the tickets for those empty seats. Of course there has been the odd breakdown on the underground, Shouldnt have happened if the system had been designed right. Its not as if there has been any unpredictable events. but apparently the back up systems and staff have been informed about them. It would be one hell of an inditement Rod - steer clear of big words that are beyond you Corse OK - steer clear of the little ones too -- geoff |
