I have volunteered to be help out at the Olympics which is being held next in the UK. Are any of you going? What would be the event you would choose to watch?

you're assuming we won't be bankrupt by then and the Olympics cancelled.

Not likely.

No, the olympic committee and government will dig deep to get the funds.

We always manage to get there in the end. And.. i expect we wont have a very elaborate opening ceremony. But hey the way the swimmers and divers are performing at the moment in the UK, we will be glistening with gold medals. :-6

I cant wait.

Nope . Was going to but was told to stay away. Plus the rents will be astronomical in hotels and rentals at that time.

Ahh so like everywhere else in the world. Londoners and tax payers will be paying for it for years to come.

India is not looking good for the commonwealth games at the moment.

This is the East end of London Fuzz.......... There is no way a starting pistol can be fired without some-one returning fire.

The equestrian team will come back from a tea break to find the horse up on bricks.

There will be 'pedestrian activity'.

We will fail miserably and be the embarressment of the world.

While digging the foundations, the location of Jack The Hat McVitie will be found.

The Queen will disolve parliment.

But hey, The rolling Stones are playing live in the opening ceremony. :guitarist:guitarist

Aren't they lucky? no worries about parking they will be able to use their oap's bus pass.

If my Niece makes the "2012 US Women's National Olympic Soccer Team" again I'm planning on being there. She was on the 2008 US Gold Medal Women's Soccer team hopefully she will make the team again. :-6

NNNNNOOOOooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!! I'm still traumitised by that you know.

But hey, The rolling Stones are playing live in the opening ceremony.


Now that's something to look forward to. Aging drug addicts poncing around.

Carla, if she makes it, please make sure you tell us what she is doing. There is every chance she could be on the BBC tv. I'd love to see her play.

Really confused by this response, why would i be paying for your plane tix and hotel? and whats funny about the javalin throwing. I really dont know why that is so funny.

More likely to be renting the flat out and legging it for three weeks holiday

I'm still trying to grasp the notion that the London Olympics will be using volunteers instead of paid staff. The budget must be even more stretched than I'd imagined.

The whole thing's going to be crawling with armed police, the last place I want to be is within range of a plod squad carrying machine guns. I walked round the corner of the Bullring once to find two of them proudly caressing their armaments, it petrified me.

No really, i would like to be part of the joke, as i started the thread.

Perhaps i am not that in tune with your sense of humour so i feel that you could be curteous enough to enlighten me on whats so funny?

If you cant explain it, then i think that your behaviour on this forum is a tad childish.

Oh yes, what a highly intelligent response.

The small penis remark.... yawn, yawn.

Can we get back to the Olympics thread and not using every oppertunity to slate the police. Otherwise members of the FG might think your getting a little obsessive. Let it go, move on etc.. its not good for you.

:yh_rotfl:yh_rotfl:yh_rotfl Behaviour on forum is childish :yh_rotfl:yh_rotfl:yh_rotfl Holy heck how many of us have had bad days and can count ourselves in that catagory ...

It's not childish Lou Lou it's humour . ducky is making the statement she wouldn't be able to afford to go to the olympics. So she's nominating you to pay for it . It's called sarcasm, Parody, riddle, limerick, anicdote, ironic musing..................get it?

Why am I explaining a joke?:-5

And the proper responce would be........." Oh, I get it...ha ha ha ahaaaa"

I would watch the swimming competition if I went. Go and sit by Phelp's mom, she's a nice lady, we all know her here. (same school district)

Who's volunteering to put us all up? :wah:

Is Minks going to go to the winter Olympics, that is not too far away for her to go and see.

You obviousley have no experience of forums either. Once a thread is posted, it becomes public. Yes, we do like to stick to topic on threads but as your thread was about police at the Olympics, I think you'll find that the posts were of the topic of the police at the Olympics. Why do you seem to have such a problem with that? :wah:

Talking of threads, sorry but once anyone has posted a thread, they do not own them. However, maybe you would like to return to your thread about the role of a police officer and answer Spot's post about honesty in the force???????????????????????????????????????

Ah yes the one other from Spot, bet you could,nt wait to get a reply in there, very sad indeed , like i said you need to let it go, move on, its not good for you to to hold on to such hate for one part of the community.:-6

Like your other half said before you have a lot of relatives that are police officers, maybe loyality to them should be key, just to respect what THEY do.

:wah: There you go again, selective reading. Are you not taking this thread off topic? :rolleyes:

If you read all the posts, you will see that we have both written that we do respect most police officers. Perhaps you would care to return to your thread and answer Spot's question on police honesty? You will find that the general trend on this forum, is that if you post a thread and are asked questions, it is common curtesy to answer members.

i only answer ones that need to be answered. I think you are a tad paranoid, you seem to be following my threads and checking my replies..... weird, anything to hide or is re-invention allowed for anyone on this forum? :yh_rotfl:yh_rotfl:yh_rotfl:yh_rotfl:yh_rotfl:yh_rotfl:yh_rotfl

As for trolling you.... grow up you silly little girl......... check how many other threads and posts i respond to. That's because every one here is interested in all topics other than the police.

I dont think they are, its just your little group, who quite frankly dont have a nice word to say about the police, its just so one sided and pathetic.

Who do you think you are to talk on behalf of everyone on this forum. Careful your crowns slipping.:yh_rotfl

Please can we just keep to the topic as per the OP ? It gets very tiring and not a little boring when members feel they have to bicker about mostly unimportant trivialities.

Right.....................................

Will you be going to the Olympics in the UK ?

Well, neither will I be going to the Olympics in the UK (cos I'm broke !), nor will I be going to the Olympics in any other country (cos I'm still broke !) . ------------ I will be watching as much of it as possible on the TV (cos I've paid my licence and it won't cost me anything !) :-6

Thank you i have constantly trying to do this, but it appears that a certain members want to include controversial topics.

I am actually volenteering, i have no idea, what this involves at the moment. It will be great to be there for the opening ceremony. i cant wait

No, I haven't time. I won't be watching much on TV, either, for that reason!

So when you say UK does that mean different things will be hosted in different countries of the UK or is it like saying the United States but really they were held in one state inside the US?



I don't get out a lot, can you tell?wah:

:wah: No FS....... It's all in the UK but I think LLB assumed that some people would have no idea where the olympics were being held this time round. You must watch it on tv and see Britain fail miserably as usual at everything. The US will go home with all the golds and I'm willing to put money on that

But I don't have any idea:o.. are some events in scotland, some in wales, some in england or are all in one of those countries but its just referred to as the collected group UK, if you know what I mean..



for instance, if equestrian is in one country of the UK rather then another that might affect plans. if I wasn't imagining everyone cramming into one small land mass, I'd probably not be so confused..



I'd best go google, eh?:D

Don't forget the Chinese Mrs !!!!!!!

Also --------------- UK won quite a lot of medals, particularly golds, at the last Olympics !! I have not got the figures to hand, but I dare say somebody can come up with the goods. All I remember is that it was our best Olympics for decades !!! So stop doing us down Mrs. or I'll send the lads round :-6

:yh_rotfl Ok... but I just always get that feeling of impending doom the same as I do in the World Cup. I think we did rather well in curling in China didn't we?

Sorry, I'm going up the betting shop nearer the day to put my money on the US :wah:

As for the various points I made in the hope you'd discuss them, they're all accurate, verifiable and unprejudiced. It's a shame you feel incapable of discussing them rationally, given your background.

Thanks Chons..... I've never looked before because I have no interest in it.

The biggest worry is weather the stadiums are going to be open and up and running on time. The British have an appalling record for that. The new Wembley stadium was one.

Spot is the most respected member on this forum. He writes fact only and has the utmost respect from all members for it. We all fall out here over oppossing views from time to time but the respect remains.

You *always* have the choice - that you constantly get involved in this tedious bickering shows that you are not trying very hard.

Will you and Oscar take your problems elsewhere and stop splattering them over our forum

I don't get out a lot, can you tell?wah:


In the uk we have what are called counties, so the Olympics will not just be held in one Countie, they can be held in many ie the sailing will be in Southampton.

But if you consider the size of the states to the UK, it really is not a great distance.

We are only a little island, and given that, i think we have done exceedingly well in the last Olympics and especially well in the para olympics.

I have friends who will be competing in the next para Olympics, guys who lost limbs etc in Irag and Afghanistan.

I love the para olympics especially as the guys competing have more of a challenge than abled bodied people, especially with funding etc... Its make me very emotional to watch.

I have not agreed with some of your views, a few other people have not agreed with your views,, that then makes us a little group??? so therefore all the people who have agreed with your views and disagreed with oscars views,, then they are there own little group? or your little group? fgs i never heard anything so silly,, just because some people are in agreement they become a group all out to get you no doubt!

Well there are people here who know me well enough to know i will agree or disagree because that is how i feel about a situation,/subject/ thread, I have in fact disagreed with Oscar on many things in the past,, and still do quite often. It seems if people dont have the same views as you then theres something wrong with them,,,I asked you on another thread,, so what if i have a less than favourable view of our police? thats my opinion to have,, does that meake me a bad person? because i am one of the members here that do not think the sun shines out of every police officers bum, i am made to feel as if i am scum for having that opinion with your constant references to it.

) For one, why don't you do what my wife did when she found articles written on this forum that were blatant libel and provide written evidence to show that you are telling the truth, as i suspect you can't?

Further, you were asked to refrain on this thread from your childish posts and while my wife appears to be grown up enough to respect the request, it appears that you are not. I find this laughably hypocritical when in an earlier post you complained bitterly that my wife had derailed your thread, yet here you are again, resorting to that of which you accuse others.

Perhaps you would like to reconsider the request from the moderator and curb the behaviour that increasingly reveals your personality?

Finally, to even suggest that other long-standing respected members are nothing more than a gaggle who are in cohorts with my wife is an insult to those people and a further indication of how your mind works.
