    General Olympics Thread
    I was just looking for a thread where we can talk about current happenings and whatever related to the Olympics that is not really important enough on its own for a whole thread. It seems there isn't one. Shall we christen it "Olympic chat"? Just an idea.

    How to catch up the Opening Ceremony?
    I had a power cut (and a ****) and my Sky stopped recording it so I've missed half the Ceremony!!! Is there anywhere I can watch it now? Anyone else in this situation?:confused:


    ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

    My family (who are on holiday) have just rang to ask what I thought of it and I'm like I DONT KNOW.

    *sigh*

    iPlayer isn't letting me watch the whole thing.

    Apparently some American commentators think that Isambard Brunel (guy with the cigar during the revolution bit) was supposed to be Abraham Lincoln.....

    So who's excited for the Olympics? :)
    Just caught the Olympics yesterday and it was awesome; i thought Danny Boyle has done a great job, even outdoing Zhang Yimou's Beijing Olympics opening.

    And not to mention that many big acts like Robbie Williams, Muhammad Ali and Beckham showed up as well. ****'s gonna get cray in this year's Olympics!!!

    Isn't 'Olympism' a well known venereal disease? It's when you're permanently unable to get an erection, isn't it? :lol:
