answer my question, you fool

On tv a lot of people are saying that they have got tickets but now do not want to go as they have been told to turn up several hours before due to all the security.

so now we have the army taken over security who are having to live in tents. in the uk its cold and raining. they are suposed to be on holiday but forced to do the security. they are not getting paid any extra.

at the same time bus drivers are on about strike if they do not get a huge bonus.


Competitors told Olympic Park isn't ready just TWO WEEKS before opening ceremony:

its a real merss and its getting worse each day.

Agreed. :thumbsup

There's talk now that people can't even use the words 2012 London Olympics on blogs as it's protected by copyright. I say :321GFY

Crazy poms cant even make an Olympic village before the actual athletes arrive suckers.

:Oh crap :Oh crap

Wow dude, you are so narrow minded it's bordering in being quite funny! Sure, the equestrian sports are solely for those with cash - but do you really think that the Jamaicans who are currently dominating world sprinting are rich? Of course not! Their training facilities are in fact absolutely terrible...but they persist and if they have enough natural talent they get noticed and then get sponsored. The old soviet bloc countries didn't have money to lavish on their competitors, but rather instilled a certain kind of discipline. For other countries there is a sense of community which help their talented individuals.

Even more ignorance! A disabled person is not just either deaf or blind! There are a wild array of categories (with physical as well as mental disabilities), and if any of those persons are good enough they can compete with the able bodied. Point in case Oscar Pistorius[sic]. The paralympics are there to foster the same spirit as what we give the more abled, and is actually an INCLUSION rather than your point of marginalisation.

The basis of the Olympics is track and field, with other events being added and removed every year due to voting and/or sometimes popular demand. I never knew class-ism was rife in the discus or the 100m sprint...but it seems that you're in the know on that one!

Then why waste your time writing about it. You obviously care enough to have a stance.

Your comparison of the Games to a dictator or his actions in any sense even further impresses on the reader how incapable you are of coherent thought processing.

Oh...the horror! This isn't the Hindenburg disaster, but rather a safety and security measure designed to prevent an aerial attack such as the September 11th attack. These missile sites are the ones that are strategically located to provide the best cover with a 360degree view. There are also others which you don't know of, so I guess that's more horror to keep you up at night. Have you thought about all of the armed personnel that could be near you during the Games? Wow, I'm surprised you haven't tried to smash any SO19 personnel with your steel bar every time you've gone through Heathrow airport. Those MP5's they carry to protect you must fill you with rage!

This point of yours made me lose absolutely all respect for you, as you clearly have no respect for others or their traditions. What is it to you that a ceremony is taking place that makes so many others happy? Do you also wish you could knock coffins over in funeral homes? Surely not. Both are ceremonial activities though that have meaning for others, and if you don't like it then just don't take part. There's no reason to promote malicious activity that just spreads disdain. Shame on you, Sir!

so the Jamaicans are in the sailing events are they?

and are you saying that the Jamaicans have the same nombver of people in the events as the usa has?

running is the low cost event.



how can they be included when they are in a seperate event? thats exclusion.



i am always right.


becase its looking like the uk is incompetent each day. this is suposed to be showing how good the uk is. so far we look a joke. its hardly going to do trade much good.



so you think that if a plane was taken over and flown over the olpimpcs (not realy likly) that you think they should blow it up and turn it into a firebomb and land in the stadioum?



respect for others or traditions?

1. what has traditions to do with anything?

2. i think you will find most people in the uk now are against the olipics. today london roads are shut down so people cannot get to work.

i do not think you can do that.

ie, 'bbc' is copyrighed but you can write about the bbc.

i suspect they may be trying to stop people writting anything negative as you just know things will be bad.

Athletes arriving for Olympic Games
 

http://www.eitb.com/multimedia/image...oto610x342.jpg

Airport operator BAA Plc, owned by Spain's Ferrovial, said it expected a record 237,000 passengers to use Heathrow on Monday, including 335 athletes. The busiest day for arriving athletes is expected to be July 24.

I may even hit the McDeath's drive thru for a feed of official Olympic food in the coming weeks.

You know, to get in the spirit, feel more "olympic".

The Olympic Flame arrived in London in spectacular fashion this evening with the help of the Royal Navy?s Commando Helicopter Force (CHF), in advance of its seven-day tour of the capital.

The 1980 Olympics took a lot out of me...but, I'll still be watching this years! ;-)

living in Barcelona, all I can say is that this city is benefiting from the Olympics every single day even today. The tourism has gone crazy, it has exploded. One reason? the beach that was built as part of the Olympic campaign.

Top Ten Athletes To Watch
 

Missy Franklin, Swimming (USA): Like any girl who just celebrated her sweet sixteen a year ago – she loves picking her prom dress, and worries about how her bandanna looks while she’s working out. Unlike others, she has size-13 feet, has earned high praise from Michael Phelps, and has earned a nickname “Missy, the Missile” – courtesy her three golds in 2011 World Championships. Given that her parents are Canadian, the Maple nation has reasons to feel, they’ve missed out.

Teddy Riner, Judo (France): At eighteen he was the youngest world champion in Judo, a year later he took home an Olympic bronze. By the time he was officially eligible to drink in USA, he had popped three champaigne bottles atop the podium for world judo championships. He now has six, and gold from London might just be the next one.

Sara Khoshjamal Fekry, Taekwondo (Iran): Her religious code requires strict adherence, so she wears a headscarf under her helmet. There’s never been a woman to compete in her discipline, so she competed with men, and broke their bones. Meet Sara Khoshjamal, the first female Olympian fromIran, and the decimator of odds. She won the Taekwondo bronze in 2010 Asian games and now her eyes are trained at a podium finish in London

Kohei Uchimura, Gymnastics (Japan): He won 2 silver medals in Beijing, and in 2011 created history by becoming the first gymnast to win 3 successive World Championships all-round titles (and the Longines Prize for Elegance at the 2011 Championships, to boot!). The Japanese man has been the most dominant gymnast in world scene since the last Olympics, and anything less than the top prize would be seen as a failure.

Rebecca Adlington, Swimming (UK): In one barnstorming week in 2008, she won gold in the 400-m freestyle, set a world record in the heats of the 800-m freestyle, and broke her own record to win the finals. Now, she is aiming to become the first British swimmer to win consecutive gold medals. Given her golden form in 2011 World Championships – it’s hard to look beyond her.

Nur Suryani Mohd Taibi, Shooting (Malaysia): The eagle-eyed markswoman from Malaysia might just become the poster-girl for diversity which Olympics celebrate. She’d be 34- weeks pregnant when she lines up for the 10m sharpshooting event in London. Now that’s head-turning alright!


Lin Dan, Badminton (China): Think John McEnroe of Badminton – temper tantrums, punching the coach in face, whirlwind affair with the country’s top female shuttler before marrying her, and headlines – always headlines. But four world championships and an Olympic gold in 2008 means he has talent to match. Bad boys play well too.

Kenenisa Bekele, Track & Field (Ethiopia): The most decorated of the pantheon of top class long distance runners from the country – he holds the World and Olympics records for 5000m, 10000m, won golds for both events in 2008 Olympics, and had an eight year unbeaten run from 2003-2011 for the 10000m event - best ever in IAAF records. Enough said.

Ryan Lochte, Swimming (USA): The only man faster in water than Michael “eight gold medals” Phelps since his record-setting run in Beijing Olympics. Lochte is a laidback, relaxed man with an easy smile, a fine counterpoint to Phelps intense persona. Yet, more often than not Phelps has had to admit he has a serious challenge from the Florida man. Oh, the wait for pure theater!


Yohan Blake, Track & Field (Jamaica): What Lochte can do in water, Blake can do on land. Like Phelps, Usain Bolt was the undisputed golden boy of track in Beijing clocking speeds seldom deemed possible. So when fellow Jamaican Blake beat him in 100m and 200m finals in Jamaica trials, the ‘king of track’ has reason to feel that his throne is threatened. Blake also won the 2011 World championships, though Bolt was disqualified. Let the games begin..

Olympic gold medalist and U.S. women?s soccer team goalie Hope Solo has confirmed that ?there?s a lot of sex going on? at the Olympics.

?With a once-in-a-lifetime experience, you want to build memories, whether it?s sexual, partying or on the field,? Solo told ESPN. ?I?ve seen people having sex right out in the open. On the grass, between buildings, people are getting down and dirty.?

As record 150,000 condoms are handed out to a host of super-attractive athletes, could London 2012 be the raunchiest games ever?

oh boy so the countdown begins, nightmare.....

Im def gonna watch the opening ceremony but dought if ill watch much after that

Hopefully Keith Flint from the Prodigy will be well enough to light the olympic cauldron at the openin ceremony.
