This picture creeps me out. All the pictures of the giant split baby creep me out.
All it takes is a dissappointment or two that can make a delay in the opening days, as some events run to quarter finals and semi finals, or even mini tournaments.
Heidemann, assured fencing Gold or Silver in the last 0.01 second of sudden death. Which was decided just now.
Did you see that??
Talk about shocked - South Korea is SHOCKED.
I’ll have to watch that online.
The thing I enjoyed the most so far was the Poland-Italy Men’s Volleyball match.....A sea of red and white in the arena, and the Polish fans going nuts....every time the Polish team would have possession, they would all shout in unison “RAZ...DWA....TRZY!!” with each hit of the ball.
Straight out of the old Spartakiade Games in the Eastern Bloc, and the North Korean Arirang Games. Just a bunch of humans being robotic.
For the record, thus far I have 13 USA medals. :)
Would or does Danny Boyle ever avail himself to the NHS for treatment?
No it wasnt.
Nonody here cares about Obamacare, and most of the UK public hasnt heard of it. The reason the NHS was in the ceremony is because Danny Boyle is a socialist, and wanted to celebrate it.
How arrogant to think that a British opening ceremony for a British olympics for a world audience was aimed at America.
Get over yourself.
And what did you give us?.
Jetpacks, alien ships and mass grand pianos in 1984. And the 1996 show was so crap I cant even remember one thing about it.
I don’t know. This whole ‘lionising of the NHS’ thing was kicked off because of that twitter campaign #ilovethenhs launched by that Irish guy who wrote ‘Father Ted’ when that US politician attacked the NHS and said (lol) that Stephen Hawking would be dead ‘if he was British’...
Sorry #welovethenhs
